Shield of Life
Our Mission
​
Shield of Life is founded on the passion for bringing HOPE to those seeking to reverse disease, through TRUTH in evidence-based scientific research, and by providing LOVE, support, and guidance to foster FAITH and BELIEF in the profound human capacity for healing and transformation.
​
Born from Dr. Klioze's more than 25 years of medical practice experience in successfully mitigating and reversing disease, Shield of Life exists for one deeply held reason — to free people from the burden of disease so they can live with full purpose. When the weight of illness no longer consumes your energy, your attention, and your joy, you are free to focus on what matters most — blessing the lives of those around you.
​
Disease does not just affect the body. It steals your purpose. It narrows your world. It turns your focus inward when your greatest gifts are meant to flow outward. At Shield of Life we believe that restored health is not the destination — it is the doorway to the life you were meant to live and the people you were meant to serve.
​
This transformation is made possible through the 7 layers of your Shield — a comprehensive, evidence-based framework built from Dr. Klioze's lifetime of clinical experience and personal practice. Each layer is essential. Each one builds upon the next. Together they form a living shield of protection, resilience, and vitality that no single layer could provide alone.

Meet Dr. Andria Klioze
Dr. Andria Klioze is a physician, educator, community advocate, and founder of Shield of Life. For more than 25 years, she has helped people reclaim their health, reverse disease, and return to the lives they were meant to live.
Her career began at the VA in Gainesville, Florida, where she helped build a Hospitalist Program from the ground up while serving as Director of Education in the University of Florida's Dean's Office. In 2002, she moved to the Daytona Beach area and founded a first-of-its-kind Metabolic, Obesity, Diabetes, and Insulin Pump Clinic at the Daytona Beach VA — a program with no equivalent elsewhere in the VA system. For more than 23 years, she built and ran it largely on her own, treating some of the most medically complex patients imaginable: people navigating renal disease, liver disease, heart failure, and cancer, often alongside obesity and diabetes.
What she learned — both at the VA and from decades of informally guiding friends, family, and neighbors — was that lasting transformation never came from a single medication or intervention. It came from addressing the whole person: diet, movement, sleep, breath, mindset, and community. Long before she had a name for it, she was practicing what would become the 7 layers of the Shield of Life.
It was the people she'd helped — patients, colleagues, friends, and family who witnessed these transformations firsthand — who urged her to share this approach more broadly. In October 2025, after 25 and a half years of service to the VA, Dr. Klioze stepped away to devote herself fully to Shield of Life.
Her influence reaches well beyond the clinic. As a Clinical Assistant Professor at Florida State University, she has lectured to physicians and faculty. She has delivered Grand Rounds at local hospitals and the Orlando VA, spoken for the Florida Academy of Family Practice and the Obesity Medicine Association, lectured nationally for Brown & Brown, and addressed chambers of commerce, businesses, and Rotary clubs across Volusia and Flagler Counties. For more than 17 years, she and her husband, Dr. Scott Klioze, have co-hosted "Doctors Are In" on WNZF radio in Flagler County. She is Past President of the Volusia County Medical Society and remains active with the Flagler County Medical Society.
Dr. Klioze doesn't just teach the Shield of Life — she lives it and shares her own health journey openly as proof of what's possible.
Her vision is simple: when people are freed from disease, they stop focusing inward on their own suffering and start focusing outward — on family, community, and purpose. That's what Shield of Life is for. Not just longer lives, but fuller ones.
Our Transformational Program
Shield of Life's Transformational Program meets you where you are: join our Physician-Guided track — Start to Heal, then Continue to Heal — or follow both independently at your own pace using our lecture library. To either path one may add the Shield of Life App (under construction) for full access to our educational library and community.
PEMA Therapy
Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Activation (PEMA) is a next-generation, science-based approach to electromagnetic therapy, using targeted pulsed fields to optimize cellular function and support the body's natural healing processes. By working at the cellular level, PEMA delivers a more advanced, effective path to improved energy, recovery, and long-term vitality.
Body Composition
Our state-of-the-art SECA body composition scale delivers clinical-grade accuracy — up to 98% — giving you a precise breakdown of fat, muscle, water, and bone density. But what truly sets it apart is its ability to assess cellular health, offering insight into how your cells are functioning at their core. This deeper level of analysis means you're not just tracking numbers — you're understanding the true state of your body, inside and out.
