Biographical summary
David
Raslau, M.D., M.P.H. came to the Mayo Clinic from Chicago, IL where he grew up
enjoying the diversity that city provides in cultures, cuisine, and
experiences. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in
Aerospace Medicine at Mayo Clinic. In Aerospace Medicine, training focuses on commercial
pilot health, as their role requires a unique perspective in maintaining health
and at the same time maintaining the safety of our airways. He then joined the
staff in General Internal Medicine in 2014. Shortly thereafter he was asked to
join the Executive Health Program and has primarily been working in that area
ever since.
Professionally, Dr.
Raslau's interests lie in disease prevention and focusing on healthy lifestyle
choices. He believes that healthy living can be distilled down to making
positive choices in four principle areas: food, activity, sleep, and stress.
Dr. Raslau also believes in a whole-person approach focusing on physical,
emotional, and spiritual health. He believes that the large body of literature
regarding brain neuroplasticity supports this integrative model.
Dr.
Raslau is married and has two young children, a girl and a boy. He and his
family spend time enjoying the outdoors and each other. They are active in a
small church just outside of town and enjoy seeing Rochester and the
surrounding communities grow and develop.
