Today we’d like to introduce you to Steven Conroy.
Hi Steven, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The Boost Center was conceived to serve the Austin community and meet an unmet need in the surrounding area: medical care that supports an entire lifetime of physical and mental ability. Many standard hospitals and medical practices offer primarily crisis care and some very general and often unhelpful preventative services and advice due to lack of time spent with patients. We aim to do much, much more.
Dr. Conroy’s experiences as an emergency physician and athlete have left him convinced of the need for a dedicated, lifelong pursuit of health. There is no simple way to achieve that: consistent patient effort, a close partnership with a physician who knows you well, and an individualized approach to testing, assessment, and treatment. Those are the principles around which the Boost Center was designed. Diet and exercise are cornerstones of long-term health and matching health span to lifespan, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some constraints are obvious, such as allergies or physical impairments, but others are subtler and more complex. Epigenetic and environmental factors, a wide range of lifestyle factors, and differences in body shape, structure, and physiology can all require unique interventions.
You wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been smooth?
The main obstacles were transitioning from hospital-based medicine while simultaneously creating the office from the ground up. The constant shifting schedule and demands of the hospital and emergency departments were often overwhelming while trying to maintain my health and continue my education.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar, what can you tell them about what you do?
Dr. Conroy is the mind behind the Boost Performance and Longevity Center. The Center represents the culmination of almost two decades of experience in medicine and is motivated by his conviction that the best treatments are preventative, integrative, and early. He is a board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician and has spent the last fifteen years working in emergency departments at leading hospitals across Pennsylvania and Texas. While there, he became deeply familiar with the high physical, mental, and emotional costs of intense, acute care, from strokes to heart attacks, infections, and traumas. Driven by those experiences, he has pursued advanced training in functional and integrative medicine, both of which are foundational to his current approach. In parallel to his career as a physician, Dr. Conroy is dedicated to other aspects of human health: exercise, competition, and physical performance. He believes physicians should lead by example, demonstrating the principles they use to guide their recommendations and advice. He is an avid endurance athlete and enjoys a steady course of half marathons, triathlons, and off-road races. In addition, he has completed over a dozen 70.3 IRONMAN races and four full ones, including the World Championships in Nice, France, St George, Utah, and Kona, Hawai’i. Those experiences have given him insight into the perspective, choices, attitudes, and behaviors that lead to peak performance and exceptional physical health.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
My persistence, hard work, experience as an ER Doctor evaluating patients with advanced disease end-stage disease, and my experience as an endurance athlete with a background in nutrition have guided me to help patients and become successful.
