The book is a treasure trove of insights on nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and the latest breakthroughs in longevity research.

Meet the Drs.

Dr. Hendriks and Dr. Castillo MacKenzie are board-certified physicians, female, specialized, with over 10 years of experience.


Elle MD started after practicing in a traditional primary care setting together for over a decade. We grew frustrated with the current healthcare model, which places no emphasis on addressing the root cause of chronic disease. A lot of times, conventional care doesn’t even promote overall wellness! 


We founded Elle MD in Royal Oak, MI, with a vision of providing this care in a compassionate and personalized way.
