Frank Lipman

A pioneer in the integrative medicine, Dr Frank Lipman is the founder and director of Eleven-Eleven Wellness Center in New York City, where his personal blend of Western and other medicinal approaches, has helped thousands of people recover their energy and zest for life.Initially skeptical of any non-traditional approaches to medicine, Lipman had an epiphany during a period of training in the South African bush, where he saw the impoverished tribal people were resonating with the rhythms and cycles of life. He came ready to help with his western formal training but he began to see that the polarization between western and other healing philosophies merely negated positive attributes of both. He saw that true healing lay in a blend between the two. After running a highly successful practice for the past 20 years based on this integrated approach, he now has the clinical results and patients’ testimonials to prove it.Dr. Lipman received his initial medical training in South Africa, qualifying in 1979. He then emigrated to the United States in 1984. He became board certified in internal medicine and served as Chief Medical Resident in his final year of residency at Lincoln Hospital in New York City. While practicing Western Medicine, he became more and more aware of both the weaknesses and strengths of his training. He then began to study acupuncture and Chinese medicine, functional medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine, biofeedback, meditation and yoga before founding the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center in 1992. He now practices his unique blend of what he calls “Good Medicine”, combining all the systems in which he has trained.Dr. Lipman is the author of 2 books: Total Renewal; 7 Key Steps to Resilience, Vitality and Long Term Health and Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Start Living Again (previously titled Spent; End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again)).He is very involved with non-profit work in South Africa and lectures throughout the world on health-related topics.
