Kenneth A. Litwin, MD FACP IFMCP
Physician
With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Litwin has dedicated his career to helping patients with complex medical conditions. He built a strong foundation in medical knowledge and skills at the Hahnemann University School of Medicine and the Yale University School of Medicine Primary Care Internal Medicine Residency Program.  Dr. Litwin then honed and expanded his expertise through education with the Institute for Functional Medicine, along with numerous specialized courses and conferences. He continuously enhances his expertise by staying current with medical advancements, collaborating with colleagues, mentoring others, and learning from the unique insights of each of his patients.
Dr. Litwin is known for his reassuring and compassionate nature, taking the time to ensure his patients feel heard, valued, and supported throughout their healthcare journey. His thoughtful approach helps them feel comfortable and confident, even when facing complex medical challenges.
Nearly 15 years ago, Dr. Litwin began embracing a more holistic and integrative approach, after a colleague introduced him to Functional Medicine. This enabled him to address the root causes of disease more effectively, focusing on prevention and treatment through nutrition, lifestyle changes, advanced diagnostic testing, and innovative, highly personalized therapeutic strategies. A primary goal in his work with patients is to empower them with the knowledge and confidence to take an active role in their health.   His approach to care has proven especially effective for patients whose conditions have responded inadequately or for patients who have not tolerated standard treatments.
Dr. Litwin is on the medical staff of Danbury Hospital, where he previously served as Section Chief for the Division of Outpatient Medicine. Â He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and has served for many years on the Board of Trustees of the Fairfield County Medical Association.
Dr. Litwin is also certified in the Bredesen Protocol™, a specialized program focused on prevention and treating cognitive decline, including Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
