Dr. Brewer has served as Medical Director of Canyon Ranch Tucson for nearly two decades. One of the most important philosophies he has adopted during this time is to practice moderation when it comes to wellness. “I’ve learned that I don’t need to go to extreme measures to be healthy, both physically and emotionally,” he shares. “I don’t spend hours in the gym, and I don’t have an overly restricted diet. My exercises and diet are healthy, but it doesn’t get in the way of my busy life. It is simply a part of my day.”

He specializes in family medicine, integrative medicine, preventative medicine, and men’s health. Over the years, he has led numerous presentations on Health & Performance topics including brain health, integrative medicine, preventive medicine, men’s health, medical weight loss, peak performance, and health in moderation.

In his spare time, Dr. Brewer enjoys running, playing golf, and writing. He is the author of The Canyon Ranch Guide to Weight Loss: A Scientifically Based Approach To Achieving And Maintaining Your Ideal Weight, The Canyon Ranch Guide to Men’s Health: A Doctor's Prescription for Male Wellness; What Happened to Moderation?: A Common-Sense Approach to Improving Our Health and Treating Common Illnesses in an Age of Extremes; and he co-authored The Everest Principle: How to Achieve the Summit of Your Life.
