About Jennifer T. Shalz

Biography

Jennifer Shalz, MD is an internal medicine physician and the medical director of St. Luke’s Health System’s Lifestyle Medicine Department. A board-certified lifestyle medicine specialist and fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Shalz earned her medical degree from the Tufts University School of Medicine and completed her internal medicine residency at David Grant Medical Center, Travis Air Force Base.

As a former major in the U.S. Air Force, she later contributed to the VA health system as an educator and primary care physician, serving in Chicago, Portland, and Boise. In 2008, she diversified her expertise by joining a radiation oncology practice to provide supportive care, eventually becoming certified in hospice and palliative medicine while also serving as a hospice medical director.

Since joining St. Luke’s, she has been instrumental in developing heart rehabilitation and lifestyle programs, leading to the establishment of the Lifestyle Medicine Department, which includes the St. Luke’s Lifestyle Medicine program at the South Meridian YMCA. A pioneer in lifestyle medicine in Idaho, Dr. Shalz creates and directs programs that leverage lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases.

Outside of her professional pursuits, she enjoys exercising, outdoor activities of all kinds, cooking, reading, and embarking on travel adventures with her husband and daughters.
