Why is it called KitavaMD?

The island of Kitava is off the coast of Papau New Guinea. The islanders have been studied over time by medical professionals for their simplistic diet, one that dramatically differs from the traditional Western way of life. It was noted that none of the inhabitants suffered from acne - although there is likely a genetic component to this, researchers believe healthy lifestyles plays a significant role in the lack of acne on the island. This true story of Kitava, a land with no acne, is the inspiration behind our name.
