Dr. Walt Larimore
From Coach Gibbs:
“Our research showed that men are really concerned about their health and my challenge was to find a fully qualified medical doctor who could blend the technical science of medicine with the practical wisdom of the Bible. Walt fit the bill perfectly. His focus on the four spokes of health–physical, spiritual, relational and mental–is a great perspective on the complete health of a person.”
