Paragon Total Wellness
Your partner in evidence-based wellness care, for life.
At Paragon Total Wellness, we partner with individuals to rediscover their health.
Our Mission
At Paragon Total Wellness, we partner with individuals to reimagine their health and well-being.
We believe true health is about more than preventing illness or extending life—it’s about living intentionally and aligning life with your core values. Wellness is a dynamic, holistic journey that requires harmonizing physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Through evidence-based practices and personalized care, we empower you to optimize your health and cultivate a fulfilling, meaningful life.
The current trends in healthcare favor replacement of physician-patient relationships with commercialization and artificial intelligence. At Paragon Total Wellness, we strongly believe that in order to implement and sustain long-term changes to prevent illness and optimize health, we must develop authentic, highly personal relationships with our patients.

Sustainable Results
We are not interested in chasing the “quick fix”. Instead, we emphasize practical changes you can maintain for life.
Our Team
Dr. Taylor Cushman, MD, MSc
Dr. Taylor Cushman is an internal medicine physician with a passion for helping people optimize their health to live fulfilling and happy lives. His unique background includes a masters degree in Exercise & Wellness, a medical degree, board certification in Internal Medicine, and work with individuals struggling with severe mental illness and addiction. Collectively, he has seen the result of “disease-focused” treatment paradigms.
From his frustrations with our current medical system, Paragon Total Wellness was born. He believes that, in an age of accelerating health information, having a comprehensive team that is committed to tailoring the most up to date, evidence based practices to your life is the key to making and maintaining positive changes.
Rachel Cushman, PA-C
Rachel is a certified Physician Assistant and Nutritionist whose passion for preventive medicine and health has grown from her background in nutrition, women’s health, and reconstructive/cosmetic surgery. During her undergraduate studies in Nutrition, Rachel gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the critical role of high quality nutrition, and the disturbing amount of misinformation there is within the field.
Rachel has over half a decade of experience in women’s health as a PA and extensive experience in hormonal and gender-specific considerations of wellbeing. Collectively, these experiences helped her optimize patient’s complex surgical healing as she currently practices as a surgical Physician Assistant.
