I lost my mom in May 2018. She was my best friend and the person I turned to for EVERYTHING. My mom was THAT person who never ate processed foods, consumed organic produce as often as possible, never touched alcohol or cigarettes, exercised 4-5 times per week…..yet at the age of 66, a neurodegenerative process kicked in. It was like a light switch. Over the next few months, I helplessly watched her rapidly decline before losing her within 7 months of her diagnosis. Sadness set in…and confusion. Why?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a physician, who had gone through 12 years of training and had been on the front line of acute care saving lives for over 10 years, I could do NOTHING to help my mom. We bounced around from city to city, doctor to doctor, specialist to specialist to no avail. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

For me, medicine was BROKEN. Was there something that could have been done to prevent her disease? How is it that I had just lost the healthiest person I knew? I had missed something.

For me, medicine was BROKEN. Was there something that could have been done to prevent her disease? How is it that I had just lost the healthiest person I knew? I had missed something. I realized after this tremendous loss that my mission in this world is GREATER. I have so many people I wish to serve.Enter FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE. An evidence-based approach to health that looks for the root cause of ailments,re-ignites the body’s INNATE ability to heal itself, and ultimately reverses disease!

I quickly realized I had to start with myself. I was feeling burned out, exhausted, unable to concentrate, had gained some weight, and was suffering from severe headaches and insomnia. I was “healthy” according to conventional medicine. But I felt TERRIBLE. It was then that I began my extensive studies in Functional Medicine and Integrative Health. As I applied these principles to my own life, things CHANGED. Within a few months, I was sleeping through the night and waking up refreshed, had more energy than I had experienced in YEARS, and had lost 7 pounds without any effort. My brain fog had lifted, memory improved, and my mood was elevated. With targeted modifications of my sleep habits, nutrition plan, meditation, routine exercise, and supplements I was able to turn my life around. No prescription medications were needed. I was elated.

THIS is the future of medicine.
