Our Clinical Team

Dr. Leah Linarelli, ND
Physician, Integrative and Regenerative Medicine
Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dr. Leah’s insatiable curiosity and a deep love for learning drew her out west where she could learn integrative and naturopathic medicine. She is constantly exploring the root causes of disease and the unique obstacles each patient faces on their path to healing. This journey led her to integrate modern medical practices with ancient wisdom, allowing her to treat the whole person and support the natural healing processes of both mind and body.
If there is one word that captures the essence of how she lives, it is the Greek term “Arete,” which embodies “excellence in all you do”.
She is deeply committed to lifelong learning, so she can better serve patients and foster a healthier, more connected community. Her mission is to help individuals reconnect with themselves, each other, and the world around them.

Dr. John Tait
Founder, Chief Health Strategist
A pivotal injury in 2012 landed him back in his practice on a monday morning now as a patient, confronting the reality that for a third time, he was potentially facing surgery on his back. The injury was the result of a 30+ mile, single-day hike for a great cause – and yes, also from a very stubborn “athlete mind” that would not let him stop!
This injury led him to discover a much different path of healing than what he had learned to that point after more than 15 years of school and training. This path led in time to a complete recovery his body, back to full strength with all activities, without surgery.
Now, he believes that injury happened for him, not to him. Without it he would not have discovered the collective power of Functional, Integrative, and Regenerative Medicine to restore, rebuild and regenerate the body while healing the root cause of pain, injuries, and sub-optimal health.
His journey produced a philosophic shift in the way he treats orthopedic injuries and pain, and became the genesis for his new practice, ORIGEN Orthopedics and Optimal Health. Built to deliver a unique and different system of treatment for those who, like him, are searching for less invasive solutions to quickly get back to what you love.

Jacob Radlich, MS, ATC
Certified Athletic Trainer, Physician Extender
Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, so naturally I’m a huge Buffalo Bills fan. I have always had a love for sport and taking care of people, which is what led me down the road of Athletic Training. I received both my undergraduate degree and Master's degree at Canisius College back in NYS. Since graduating, I have been lucky enough to work in various settings throughout my career including professional sports, semi professional athletics, the industrial setting and military. All of them have brought me unique perspectives in the world of athletic training and have allowed me to continue to grow and build my craft as a clinician.
In 2019 my wife and I relocated to Tucson, AZ with our 2 year old son. Since then, we have added 2 more beautiful children to our family and we have called Tucson home ever since.
