Vineyard Vitality is a physician founded and directed service.  Our goal is to improve health and well being through healthy food and lifestyle choices. 

Vineyard Vitality was founded by Gail O’Brien, MD. Dr. O’Brien has been a practicing primary care Internal Medicine physician for over 15 years, most recently on Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod.  In meeting with patients, she is questioned daily about lifestyle choices and diets for better health. Seeing this desire for advice, and knowing that eating nutritious foods has a direct and positive influence on health, Dr. O’Brien established Vineyard Vitality to help counsel and assist individuals and families to enrich their nutritional knowledge, eating behavior, and lifestyle.

The mission of Vineyard Vitality is simple:  To provide patients with the highest quality, scientifically accurate nutritional information and guidance on a very personal, individualized basis. Our goal is to help you eat well, feel well, and age well.

We have all heard the expression, “You are what you eat.” The good news is that, if you eat foods that are healthy and nutritious, you can improve the quality of your life. The hardest part is getting started on healthy eating habits. That’s why our personalized nutritional programs are tailored specifically for you. This gives you a much better chance of getting off to a good start and maintaining a healthy eating routine.

As a physician, Dr. O’Brien is uniquely qualified to interpret and translate the ever changing scientific data into advice tailored to an individual’s needs. In addition to working one on one with patients for many years, she has experience in education, research, and healthcare administration. Dr. O’Brien is a former medical school professor at Brown University.  She has also undertaken additional training in nutrition, healthy cooking, lifestyle and mind/body medicine.
