Philip T. Hardy, MD Legacy Family Medicine and HardyHealth

The proverbial question of what came first, “the chicken or the egg” can be applied to Legacy Family Medicine and HardyHealth.

Legacy Family Medicine and HardyHealth were established to promulgate the long tradition of health and vitality the Hardy Family has enjoyed since the 12th century.

Originally from Normandy, France in the 12th century, they immigrated to the Jersey Islands and then settled in Devon England in the 14th century. The fundamental pillars of clean dietary habits, abstinence from tobacco and alcohol, daily exercise and quality sleep allowed the Hardy Family to reach over 100 years of age since the 1800’s.

Legacy Family Medicine was established in 2010 to utilize educational and lifestyle strategies for overall health improvement. Dr. Hardy and his staff have been successful in guiding patients to better health and often reduction/ and or elimination of pharmaceutical medications.

Hardy Health opened in 2013 and offers procedures and services to assist our patients. The Trigger Point and Joint Injection Program with Traumeel (homeopathic injectable) and Hyaluronic acid (Supartz) has helped literally thousands of patients to maintain their mobility and choices of activity level with reduced pain.

Medical Cannabis Certifications have been offered at Hardy Health since early 2017. Our certification process includes explaining the benefits of the Endocannabinoid System and how it interacts with the body and the nervous system. Qualified conditions and comparable conditions are certified with an individualistic approach with careful consideration of past medical problems and medications used and specific guidance on the various routes of administration with benefits and risks.

We welcome new patients to our practice and are excited to share in your journey towards “Better Living through Better Health!.”

Dr. Niva (Nivedita Uberoi Jerath) has been frequently featured in Orlando Style. She is a neuromuscular director in Orlando and is honored to be selected as an elite doctor. Her passion for her patients is reflected in her mission—to support, connect, and celebrate her patients. She wants to modernize and transform the field of neuromuscular medicine. She trained at Harvard University, Mayo Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the University of Iowa. The neuromuscular medicine program in Orlando has multiple national recognitions, advances clinical research, and participates in international clinical trials.

Recently she has written a book called “Billion Dollar Mind” with her world-famous superstar tennis coach Rick Macci. This book is to help patients as well as the world strengthen their mind to face life’s challenges. The mind is the window to our own world and our thoughts dictate our success and failure. In this focused book, Dr. Niva uses her knowledge of basic neurology and the function of the mind to help structure the key principles. The book is intended to be a treasure and to transform lives. The book editor described it as “very encouraging, and it feels a bit ‘law of attraction’ and yet in a highly practical way--a helpful and concrete way to approach life with new understanding!” The authors hope that readers all over the world appreciate this book.
