Dr. Shafipour received his B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley.  He then continued his graduate studies and received a Masters degree in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University. Afterwards he went on to attend Loma Linda University School of Medicine, where he received his M.D. in 2003. He completed his internship in General Surgery from UC Irvine and residency in Family Medicine under the auspices of UCLA and became board certified in Family Medicine in 2008.
Dr. Shafipour became interested in lifestyle transformation when he attended a peak performance health and lifestyle coaching conference in 2004.  Following the conference he personally took some radical measures and transformed his way of eating and implemented daily exercise into his life.  The impact of this transformation encouraged him to further pursue incorporating the idea of a sustainable healthy lifestyle into his practice of medicine.
He pursued further training in bariatric medicine through courses offered through the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, American Board of Bariatric Medicine, and the Obesity Society.  Dr. Shafipour is currently undergoing board certification by the American Board of Bariatric Medicine.  He has passed the written and oral board examinations and is in the final steps of certification by the American Board of Bariatric Medicine.  He has been a member of the American Academy of Bariatric Physicians for over 4 years.
