Michael M. Holloway, M.D.
Dr. Michael Holloway, a native Floridian from Orlando, received his B.S. and M.D. degrees from the University of Florida. He then went on to attend Duke University for a surgical internship. Dr. Holloway returned to Florida and established himself in Ocala in 2003 and shortly thereafter acquired and fully renovated the clinic that is now known as Lifestyle Solutions MedSpa.
Dr. Holloway brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, Holloway began an athletic career as a pole vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. He competed for the University of Florida achieving five SEC Championship titles, still holds school records and still holds the highest vault in Florida state history at just over nineteen feet. He competed in the 1992 and 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials and traveled extensively throughout the world representing the U.S. in many international competitions. In 2003, Dr. Holloway was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame.
Throughout his athletic journey, Dr. Holloway was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge, his years of athletic experience provides a unique and successful combination that serves to benefit his staff and clients at Lifestyle Solutions MedSpa.
The MedSpa concept with a specific focus on helping people achieve a “Healthy Lifestyle” is nothing new to Dr. Holloway. While living and training in Houston, TX in the early 1990s, Dr. Holloway, realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs available to help people loose weight the right way, by working towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle”. It would take ten more years for him to finally make that vision a reality, and today, clients from all over central Florida come to Ocala to benefit from the successful program that has been established at Lifestyle Solutions MedSpa.
Dr. Holloway is a board-eligible member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, which is the area of medicine that specializes in weight management. He regularly attends conferences and seminars to ensure that he remains on the cutting edge of new information so that he may best serve his clients.
In Dr. Holloway’s own words, “We are very proud of our program. Our goal is to educate, motivate and encourage people, and provide a realistic and individualized program that offers structure and accountability as well as providing the medical support necessary to ensure that our clients might enjoy the best possible outcomes. We believe in our program, we believe in supporting our clients each step of the way, and we believe in helping them achieve success and learning how to maintain that successful outcome.”
