What we do

We will take a full inventory of what diets/nutrition styles you have tried and which aspects worked best for you and why.

We will work on deprescribing medications so there are fewer monthly expenses. When you improve your metabolic health, your frequency of doctor visits goes down as does need for expensive testing. Keeping you out of the hospital is always a cost savings venture. 

Its rare to find a western trained medical doctor up to date on the latest labs, nutritional studies and preventative measures to actually tackle metabolic health and not simply prescribe medications to treat symptoms. This approach targets the root of medical problems and provides evidence backed knowledge on ways to treat involving lifestyle.

I will have an in depth initial session with you in person preferably to go over your health history, goals, resources, limitations in order to craft a tailored approach specifically for YOU. You will have access by text, email, voice message to me directly. We will schedule check ins via tele or in person every 2 weeks initially and spaced out as you progress. I will be able to monitor blood glucose, blood pressure and weight (as needed) remotely to help track and take accountability. I will be available for questions and adjustments throughout the entire process until you no longer need me. That will be my goal.

As much as I am invested in getting you healthy, it won’t matter unless YOU are also invested fully. YOU wouldn’t be here on this page if you weren’t. I can guide you, educate you, support you, provide the tools BUT ultimately YOU are the mechanic and will need to do the actual work. You’ve already taken the first step by searching me out. Putting money on the table also puts your skin in the game, and committing is half the battle. You will fail….but you will get back up and try again and I will be here to help you. 

After we figure out the nutritional approach that works best for YOU, we will offer a Pantry Sweep option where together, we go through your pantry and fridge discussing pros/cons to the foods there and where we can improve. This is roughly a 2 hour process but can be super helpful as a starting point. We also offer a Grocery Run service whereby I accompany you to your preferred grocery store and we discuss labels, ingredients and choices that will improve your health but fit your lifestyle.

We will also take into consideration how your household divides work (cooking, cleaning, kids) and how your daily schedule will allow adjustments to fit more seamlessly.   

By figuring out your goals, we can tailor an approach that targets those areas. Most clinics have a one size fits all approach and the goals are usually centered around weight loss. Weight loss can be a happy side effect of improving one’s metabolic health but may not be your main goal. Often, improving metabolic markers pays off in improved sleep, mood, energy, fitness and general quality of life. Lets figure out what YOU want and make that the target.

Obesity and subsequently metabolic dysfunction is a disease, side effect of hunger. We will look at how stress and sleep affect your ability to control hunger. We will assess how you value meals, mealtime, snacking and how that fits into your daily schedule. We will look at specific factors that affect YOUR hunger levels and how to adjust what you eat, when you eat, how you eat to curb those issues.

We will address together other factors that contribute to metabolic syndrome and difficulties with hunger – addiction behaviors, restrictive eating patterns, any other psychiatric components that challenge health markers like depression, anxiety, and other chronic psychiatric illnesses.

Yes. But not right away and probably not like you think. There are many ways to address adequate exercise and their benefits that do not require CrossFit, power lifting or running marathons. We will find the right kind that fits YOU, your lifestyle, your limitations but that also provides the benefits you need to get your health back on track.

We will address your current medical conditions, medications and provide safe options to help improve health markers such that some medications can be weaned, removed, deprescribed safely in conjunction with your regular doctor or specialists.

We will discuss other inflammatory diagnoses that may coincide with metabolic syndrome that can be improved as you get control of your metabolic health. The downstream effect on all medical conditions once you improve your metabolic health is truly impressive.
