About Us
Our Story
The goal of Live Life Well is to assist you in manifesting the life God has called you to enjoy.
The inspiration for Live Life Well Clinic occurred after nearly a decade of practicing emergency medicine. I repeatedly witnessed the negative effects of stress, chronic disease, and the failure of symptoms-based treatments in my ER patients.
The inspiration behind Live Life Well came about as a result of repeatedly witnessing the negative effects of stress and chronic disease in patients health care professionals commonly treat in emergency rooms across America.
Many times, patients come to the ER as a last resort, after experiencing symptoms of chronic conditions for weeks, months, and sometimes years. The diseases of adult-onset diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and strokes are often the result of decades of lifestyle choices, including, but not limited to, adherence to the standard American diet, a lack of physical exercise, and constant, chronic stress.
When we use food, tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs, including prescribed medications, as a means of coping with our stress, we often fail to realize that these things only serve to further diminish our quality of life.
These issues were only compounded and made worse by symptoms-based medical care that only addresses diseases with medications and failed to factor in lifestyle and nutrition.
The vision of Live Life Well Clinic is to assist you in manifesting the life God has called you to enjoy. We want to help you discover your God-given talents and abilities, so that you are free to achieve your goals and realize your dreams. We will work to help you identify and eliminate any obstacles in your path, so that you may truly live the life God intended for you. At Live Life Well, we base all of our health and wellness recommendations on the pillars of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).
We offer in-person and telemedicine visits for Wellness Evaluations and Treatment Plans, as well as Mental Health Coaching and Movement Coaching for those seeking treatment for Obesity, Diabetes, many autoimmune Diseases, Anxiety, Chronic Stress, Depression, Thyroid, Hormone Imbalances and a host of other chronic medical conditions.
We understand traditional treatment for these conditions fails to address the root cause of the disease and can often cause medication side effects that further decreases quality of life causing patients to needlessly and endlessly suffer under the traditional approach. Most of the time, traditional medicine is SYMPTOMS-BASED treatment. We at Live Life Well Clinic focus on reversal and cure of chronic disease while minimizing the use of medication as much as possible.

Dr. Jon Skelton M.D.
Physician
Originally from Waco, Texas, Dr. Skelton moved to Lubbock, Texas in 1993. He attended Texas Tech where he was a walk-on with the Texas Tech Football Team.
After graduating from Tech in 1997 with a degree in Zoology, Dr. Skelton went on to attend the Texas Tech University Health Science Center School of Medicine where he received his Medical Degree in 2002.
Upon finishing medical school, Dr. Skelton moved to Temple, Texas for his Emergency Medicine Residency Training at Scott and White Hospital. While in Temple, Dr. Skelton served as Chief Resident in his final year of Residency.
At the conclusion of his Emergency Medicine Residency, Dr. Skelton and his family moved back to Lubbock. Dr. Skelton worked in the Covenant Health System for 11 years. He has served in many leadership roles, including serving as Medical Director of Covenant’s Adult and Pediatric Emergency Departments. During his tenure at Covenant, Dr. Skelton was recognized numerous times for his service to the organization.
Dr. Skelton then served as the Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director for STAR ER, a freestanding ER in Lubbock where he continues to practice Emergency Medicine. During his career as an Emergency Physician, Dr. Skelton witnessed the negative effects of stress and chronic diseases in his patients, causing him to pursue a new venture, one that treated chronic diseases before they resulted in ‘last resort’ emergency room visits.
Live Life Well is founded on Dr. Skelton’s desire to help patients pursue positive lifestyle choices and not only improve the quality of life of his patients, but also strengthen their relationship with God.
