Dr. Bret L. Emery

Dr. Bret Emery entered the field of Behavioral Medicine with an
athletic background and a specialty in physical conditioning.
Beginning his cycling career at the age of 14, he went on to live at
the Olympic Training Center and represent the United States in
international races across America and Europe. For over a decade, Dr.
Emery excelled at cycling. After retiring from professional cycling in
1991, Dr. Emery focused his energy toward assisting others in their
physical conditioning and weight loss endeavors.

Based out of a custom designed private training facility in Weston, Florida. Dr. Emery conceptualized and
patented a model of weight reduction and physical conditioning that has been sought after by Atlanta Braves
baseball players, members of Lance Armstrong’s U.S. Cycling Team, and the NHL Florida Panthers hockey
team. Signing a partnership with Microsoft corporation in 2001, Dr. Emery's facility became the official weight
management services provider for the employees and spouses working for the software company. Dr.
Emery's enthusiasm for helping people spread to Alpharetta, Georgia In 2006, when a second custom
designed facility was opened. Current expansion is occurring in Canada, where a third facility will be built upon
the model that Dr. Emery began developing 19 years ago.

Dr. Emery's dedication and passion are evident in his work with his
wife, Natalie. Natalie suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury, which
doctors believed would leave her paralyzed from the waist down. Dr.
Emery met Natalie in graduate school and was immediately intrigued
by her drive and intense motivation to rebuild her body and become
strong again. Together, they set out to achieve the first of many
goals. Dr. Emery designed specific exercise and nutrition plans for
Natalie and assisted her with every step toward rebuilding her body.

During this process, Dr. Emery realized the need for a way to accurately and objectively measure Natalie’s
progress. Muscular development and body fat reduction were paramount. Through research focused on
methods of measuring muscle and fat tissue, he developed the Physio-Graph system of body composition
measurement.

The Physio-Graph provides instant feedback about how the human body is changing before the changes are
evident in the mirror - demonstrating the immediate results of exercise and nutritional efforts. The Physio-Graph
provided the feedback necessary for Natalie to build lean muscle in her arms and remove body fat from her legs.

With each passing year, Natalie has continued to develop strength while
improving her physique. She once again enjoys many physical
activities. Natalie is a walking example of Dr. Emery’s expertise. She is
sought after for public speaking engagements and has been featured in
many publications.

Dr. Emery’s expertise is also apparent in his work with individuals who
wish to build a strong and fit physique. He is able to accurately measure
a person’s current physical composition and create a specific approach
to exercise and nutrition that will change the person’s body composition.
Whether you are interested in reducing your overall weight, or you would
like to shape and tone a particular area of your body Dr. Emery has the
program that is right for you.

One popular program for men is the Chest Reconstruction Program that
transforms the muscle to fat ratio of the chest and abdomen. The
entire process, from the Physio-Graph measurement to the nutrition and
exercise design, progress tracking, and goal achievement will be
performed in one location, at Emery Behavioral Medicine.

Dr. Emery’s Philosophy:
As a doctor specializing in health related issues, it is
imperative for him to demonstrate competence by having
a healthy and fit body. The fact that people seek health
and physical conditioning advice from “professionals” who
do not possess the ability to transform their own bodies
amazes him. “I certainly would not take my car to a
person who was not able to fix their own car, so why
would I trust my health or physical conditioning goals to a
person who does not appear to have control over his or
her own body?”
