Since 2019
Serving Asheville with whole-person care
Rooted in Compassion. Inspired by Faith. Committed to Excellence.
Founded in 2019 by Dr. Cynthia Libert, Caring for the Body was born from a conviction that healthcare could be more personal, more compassionate, and more effective.
After years of practicing conventional family medicine, Dr. Libert envisioned a different approach to healing: one that looks beyond symptoms to understand the whole person, addresses the underlying causes of illness, and restores hope to individuals seeking answers.
Guided by her Christian faith, a commitment to scientific excellence, and the timeless wisdom of the Golden Rule, she established Caring for the Body as a sanctuary of healing and hope.
Today, our Asheville-based practice brings together a multidisciplinary team united by a common mission: helping people flourish in body, mind, and spirit.
Reimagining Healthcare Through Personalized, Whole-Person Medicine
We specialize in functional and precision medicine, helping individuals address the root causes of chronic illness, optimize brain health, and extend their healthspan.
Our approach combines advanced medical science, innovative diagnostics, personalized treatment strategies, lifestyle medicine, and compassionate coaching.
Through our membership-based model of care, we have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with patients, understand their unique stories, and walk alongside them toward better health.
We also extend our mission beyond the examination room through education, community, and our Re-Think Aging initiatives.
Every member of our team plays a vital role in this work, from clinical care and coaching to patient coordination and administrative support.
Because Every Life Is Precious, and Every Person Deserves to Flourish
We believe that health is more than the absence of disease. It is the opportunity to live with vitality, purpose, resilience, and joy.
Many of our patients come to us feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their health. We have the privilege of offering something profoundly meaningful: a compassionate listening ear, a thoughtful plan, and renewed hope.
We believe that every person has a unique story and deserves to be treated with dignity, kindness, and respect.
Our role is to listen deeply, seek understanding, and partner with our patients to uncover the underlying causes of their health challenges. Through personalized care, education, and encouragement, we help them move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.
This is more than the practice of medicine.
It is a calling to serve, a commitment to excellence, and an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Thriving Through Longevity
We are passionate about helping people not simply live longer, but live better, with the health, vitality, and purpose to flourish in every season of life.
Growing Together in Excellence, Compassion, and Purpose
We believe building an exceptional healthcare practice begins with cultivating an exceptional team. We are intentional about who we are becoming, individually and together, and we seek team members who embrace three guiding principles.
Compassionate and Patient-Centered
We listen deeply, serve with humility, and seek to make every patient feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. We recognize the importance of building trusting relationships and walking alongside our patients with compassion, wisdom, and encouragement.
Relentless Problem Solvers
We are curious, resourceful, and determined. Whether navigating a complex medical case or solving an everyday operational challenge, we approach problems with creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to finding solutions.
Informed and Inspired Communicators
We are lifelong learners who value knowledge, clear communication, and meaningful connection. We share information with warmth, enthusiasm, and confidence, helping patients and colleagues feel informed, empowered, and inspired.
We don't expect perfection. We do value humility, personal responsibility, a teachable spirit, and the willingness to grow.
Our goal is to become better together, for the benefit of every person we serve.
A Place to Contribute, Connect, and Grow
We believe that the people who care for others also deserve to be cared for. Healthcare is meaningful work, but it can also be demanding. That's why we are committed to cultivating a workplace characterized by mutual respect, healthy communication, teamwork, and encouragement.
We value excellence without losing our humanity, professionalism without sacrificing warmth, and hard work balanced with opportunities for joy and connection. We want our team members to feel that their work matters, their voices are heard, and their unique gifts contribute to something greater than themselves.
Our aspiration is simple
To create a culture where our team members flourish, so that together, we can help our patients flourish, too.

One of the things that makes Caring for the Body special is the genuine connection we have with our patients and our community. It's exciting to be part of a team that is passionate about helping people live healthier, fuller lives.
Leah Libert
Director of Community Outreach
“When I founded Caring for the Body, I dreamed of creating something more than a medical practice. I envisioned a place where patients could experience genuine healing and hope, and where talented, compassionate professionals could find meaningful work, grow in their gifts, and experience the joy of serving others.
That vision continues to guide us today. I believe that the work we do matters deeply, and that the way we care for one another is just as important as the care we provide to our patients.
My hope is that Caring for the Body will always be a place where people feel valued, inspired, and grateful to be part of something meaningful.”
