Here's my story
I went into medicine, like many young doctors, with a deep desire to make a difference in people’s lives. I was motivated and eager to help. I knew the recommendations we were taught in medical school: the calories in, calories out model. I would carefully calculate how many calories a patient needed to cut each day to hit a realistic weight loss goal by their next visit.
My patients would leave with a plan, excited and hopeful. I would feel proud, thinking I had given them the tools they needed. But when they returned, very few had reached their goals. They often told me the same story: they started strong for a week or two, then ran into hunger, fatigue, irritability, and frustration.
At first, I assumed it was a matter of willpower. But when it happened over and over again, I knew there had to be more to the story. The truth is, in medical school we learn very little about nutrition. We’re trained to diagnose disease and prescribe medications—but not to teach patients how to restore their health at the root.
Finding a turning point.
That realization was the turning point. I left traditional practice and opened a Direct Primary Care clinic—what I like to call “blue-collar concierge medicine.” With more time to truly care for my patients, I also had more time to dive into the research. And what I discovered transformed not only my medical practice, but the way I now help people achieve lasting health.
I began to understand the hormonal drivers of weight gain and obesity—and how those same imbalances contribute to many of the chronic diseases we face today, like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
It became clear that lasting health was not about willpower or calorie math. It was about restoring metabolic balance, addressing root causes, and teaching people how to work with their bodies instead of against them.
That realization completely changed the way I practice medicine. I knew I had to create a program that gave people more than a prescription—something that provided education, guidance, and accountability to help them finally break free from the cycle of diets, medications, and frustration.
I'm on a mission...
"It is my mission is to make health simple again. By teaching practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies, I help people break free from the cycle of medications, fad diets, and frustration - and finally experience true health."
The Resume
I have been a family medicine physician since 2013. I attended medical school at the Indiana University School of Medicine and residency training at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center.
- Traditional Insurance Based Family Practice. I spent the first four years practicing in a traditional office. I was not able to spend the amount of time I wanted to with my patients and found that I was managing prescriptions more than helping people heal.
- Direct Primary Care. I transitioned my practice into a direct primary care practice in 2018. I was able to limit the number of patients that I cared for and extend the time I had available to truly counsel my patients on nutrition and lifestyle.
- Online Health Coaching. My passion is to help as many people as I can. It is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I love watching the process unfold and hearing the success stories from the men and women I have worked with. This is why I have chosen to expand my reach through online health coaching.
