A few patients share more about their journey

Had a long list of symptoms including frequent sinus infections. All doctors wanted to give her drugs or surgery. Did not want any more antibiotics or chemicals in her body. She has avoided surgery, no more antibiotics, and has confidence in her health!

"It takes a lot for me to say I'm going to do something serious now" - hit the bottom. The thought of not being around for her family made her realize the importance of committing to her health. Now she has a new sense of well-being!

Wanted out of conventional medical system, wanted a more personal relationship with a doctor; suffered from an autoimmune condition and constipation, didn't want to take medications. Also talks about insurance.

Mother of three, normally healthy, developed digestive issues, irritability, IBS, headaches, stress. Knew something was changing. Wanted a natural solution, looked for help.

Cosmetologist and mom of 2, needed more energy for work and kids!

Felt horribly sick for 5 years, could barely get out of bed most days. Yet her doctor's tests always indicated nothing was wrong with her. She feels like this program has saved her life.

My practice

I passionately believe health is one our most valuable assets. I believe that our very best health is not something that just comes to us; it is something that we have to work for. At the same time, working for our best health can be, and should be fun. I believe that health is the sum total of a web of interconnected factors that include what we eat and how we digest our food, how we move, how we sleep, how we relax, and how we relate to each other. Health is the place where our genetics and our environment come together. We each have the opportunity and the responsibility to make the best of this interaction. I am honored to be in a position to help you make the most of your genes and your environment to reach your maximum potential.

My Specialties

As a physician, I specialize in you. I take care of the whole family from newborn babies to those over 100 years of age. My primary interest is functional medicine which focuses on underlying causes of and prevention of disease. We are all biochemically individual. Functional medicine focuses on improving each person’s biochemistry to help them obtain the best quality of life that is possible. My focus is on lifestyle medicine, encouraging people to take an active part in their health through dietary changes and exercise, as well as stress reduction.

My Philosophy

Health care should be a partnership between a doctor (or other health care provider) and an individual. I strongly encourage collaboration between members of a health care team. I believe that we all have the ability to reach our potential and that the best information can help us to get there. It’s my role to provide that information, and hopefully inspiration as well.
