RESIDENTIAL LIFESTYLE MEDICINE PROGRAM

Your health deserves your full attention.

If you’re living with chronic illness, fatigue, inflammation, or metabolic conditions, and you’re tired of managing symptoms instead of addressing root causes — this immersive, in-person experience may be exactly what your body has been asking for.

The Cooper Wellness Center Residential Program is a 14-day, onsite lifestyle medicine experience designed to support the reversal and management of chronic disease through medically guided, natural therapies and whole-person care.

 

This is not a vacation.
This is not a detox trend.
This is structured, physician-guided healing in a peaceful, restorative environment.

Why a Residential Program?

Healing requires space.
 

Space away from stressors, habits, routines, and environments that keep the body stuck in survival mode.

 

For two full weeks, you’ll step away from the noise and into a setting intentionally designed to help your body rest, repair, and relearn how to function optimally—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

This is personal care at the highest level.

What makes this program different?

Every participant begins with a comprehensive health and risk assessment, ensuring your care plan is tailored specifically to you. No generic protocols. No guesswork.

 

You will work directly with medical professionals who understand when to use natural therapies, when conventional medicine is appropriate, and how to integrate both safely and effectively.

Guided by Dr. Dona Cooper-Dockery, MD

Dr. Dona Cooper-Dockery is a board-certified physician and the founder of Cooper Wellness & Disease Prevention Center, where she focuses on helping patients prevent, manage, and reverse chronic disease through lifestyle-based, medically guided care.

 

With many years of clinical experience, Dr. Cooper-Dockery specializes in conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other chronic illnesses that are strongly influenced by nutrition, lifestyle, and daily habits. Her approach blends evidence-based medicine with natural therapies, plant-forward nutrition, movement, stress management, and whole-person wellness—allowing care plans to be both comprehensive and deeply personalized.

 

Dr. Cooper-Dockery is known for taking the time to understand each patient’s unique health history and challenges. She believes that healing is most effective when patients are educated, supported, and empowered to participate actively in their own care. When appropriate, she integrates both natural and conventional medicine, always with safety, balance, and long-term health in mind.

 

At the core of her work is a commitment to lifestyle medicine and disease prevention. Through residential programs, virtual offerings, education, and coaching, Dr. Cooper-Dockery equips patients with the knowledge and practical tools they need not only to improve their health—but to sustain it well beyond the program experience.
