Meet Dr. Kiona Coleman

Physician. Speaker. Educator. Advocate.

Kiona Coleman, MD, DipABFM, DipABLM, is a board-certified physician, speaker, educator, and Founder & CEO of ColeMed Health & Wellness.

Through ColeMed, Dr. Coleman brings evidence-based health education beyond the exam room — into workplaces, healthcare organizations, conferences, professional communities, and conversations that can create meaningful change.

Where Medicine Meets Real Life

Growing up in Irving, Texas, Dr. Coleman witnessed her parents have health concerns ignored or dismissed as inconsequential. Those experiences helped shape the kind of physician she wanted to become: one who listens, educates, empowers, and recognizes that health does not exist separately from identity, culture, environment, and lived experience.

Her understanding of wellness became even more personal as she experienced the effects of long working hours, inadequate rest, and too little time for the people and experiences that mattered outside of work.

That experience led her to explore burnout, resilience, behavior change, and the principles of Lifestyle Medicine more deeply — and ultimately helped shape the work ColeMed does today.

Making the Science Useful

Knowing what supports better health is one thing. Figuring out how to make it work in real life is another.

Dr. Coleman translates medical evidence into practical, sustainable strategies that people and organizations can actually use.

Her areas of expertise include:

  • Burnout, resilience, rest & sustainable well-being

  • Lifestyle medicine & practical behavior change

  • Women’s health & midlife wellness

  • Perimenopause & menopause education

  • Black women’s health

  • LGBTQ+ health

  • Health equity & culturally responsive wellness

  • Physician & healthcare professional well-being

  • Inclusive workplace wellness and culture

Through keynotes, workshops, organizational wellness programs, educational experiences, media appearances, and expert commentary, Dr. Coleman helps make health information more accessible, relevant, and actionable.

The ColeMed Approach

Empowering. Inclusive. Science-Based. Restorative.

ColeMed believes wellness should empower people rather than overwhelm them.

Our work is grounded in medical evidence while recognizing something equally important: people don't experience health in a vacuum. Culture, identity, work, community, access, stress, rest, and lived experience all matter.

That is especially important when working with communities whose experiences have historically been overlooked or underserved within traditional healthcare and wellness spaces.

The goal isn't perfection.

It's helping people, teams, and communities build healthier ways of living and working that can actually last.
