Are you tired of not feeling like yourself and wondering if you’ll ever get your energy and joy back? Please know the way you feel now does not have to be your long-term normal.
Are you frustrated, and maybe even a bit down, because no matter how hard you’ve tried – to eat well, exercise, and talk with your doctor – nothing improves?
Have your health concerns even been dismissed by physicians and loved ones?
Have you been asked to settle for less than feeling your best?
After helping many patients in my private practice progress from discouraged to vibrant, active, and resilient, I know your health concerns are real. The source of — and solutions to — your health concerns may surprise you. This is where I can help.
Before my board certification in Internal Medicine and over a decade of practicing Functional Medicine… I was working as a chemical engineer and manager with IBM.
After returning from a vacation, I got REALLY sick. From severe gut issues, to hair loss, to extreme fatigue… my colleagues at work thought I was actually dying.
I went to many recommended doctors with high hopes of healing my body. Unfortunately at the time, I was given medications that only served as bandaids… without TRUE solutions… and my symptoms continued to worsen.
At the same time, I devoured every health book I could find, met with an ayurvedic doctor, a nutritionist, an herbalist, an immunologist, a naturopath, and an acupuncturist, putting every piece of research together and experimenting with multiple diets until I finally reached a breakthrough in my own healing. I knew that somehow there must be a better way to practice medicine…

C0v!D looks very different for everyone.⠀
⠀
For some patients, it results in mild flu-like symptoms or a loss of taste and/or smell.⠀
⠀
For others however, particularly patients with previous underlying illnesses and conditions, it requires medical care due its effect on the lungs and overall immune system.⠀
⠀
Regardless of whether or not you’ve had a severe or mild case of COV!D-19, it’s important to know the facts and how to properly nourish and care for your body post-COV!D. ⠀
⠀
So, I wanted to take a few moments to share some questions to ask your Physician if you’ve been exposed to the virus to prevent any problems that might occur after exposure. (Make sure to save this list)⠀
⠀
And if you’re looking to learn more about your post-c0v1d journey and tips to support you on it, check out the link in my bio.⠀

This wild caught teriyaki salmon salad is full of flavor and healthy, nutritious ingredients.⠀
⠀
Since it’s dairy-free and paleo friendly, it also makes for a delicious recipe to try for lunch or dinner.⠀
⠀
I personally recommend choosing wild caught fish because it’s nutritionally superior to farmed fish and free of antibiotics, pesticides, and GMO feeds used on fish farms.⠀
⠀
When you select wild seafood, you also support the coastal communities that catch it.⠀
⠀
A win-win ❤⠀
⠀
Another benefit to this recipe is that it’s full of sulforaphane – one of the most potent antioxidants and detoxifiers thanks to the cruciferous vegetables.⠀
⠀
So if you’re looking for something delicious and healthy to whip up for dinner this evening, here’s what you’ll need:⠀
⠀
Ingredients:⠀
2 wild caught salmon filets⠀
1 cup organic spinach⠀
½ cup red cabbage, chopped⠀
½ cup kale, chopped⠀
1 avocado, diced⠀
½ cup white mushrooms, sliced⠀
⠀
Teriyaki Sauce:⠀
2 tbsp white vinegar⠀
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil⠀
¼ cup coconut aminos⠀
1 tbsp coconut sugar⠀
1 tbsp garlic powder⠀
1 tsp paprika⠀
Black sesame seeds⠀
⠀

Zinc is a critical nutrient for the immune system, and one that those most at risk for COV!D-19, including the elderly, tend to be deficient in.⠀
⠀
Zinc functions in both the innate (first line of defense) and adaptive immune systems and even suppresses viral attachment, playing a role in fighting respiratory infections. ⠀
⠀
For these reasons, zinc is a key player (along with vitamin C) in the protocol used in COV!D-19 treatment.⠀
⠀
What people aren’t aware of is that zinc also plays a role in our sense of taste.⠀
⠀
When we are deficient in zinc we can’t taste our food as well and might go for more salty, sweet or processed options. Interestingly, a loss of taste and smell is a documented symptom of COV!D and in some cases is the first, or only, sign of the disease. ⠀
⠀
To learn more about zinc, its role in COV!D and how to know whether or not you’re deficient, check out the link in my bio to read my blog post.⠀

If you look back in history 60-70 years ago, all food was grown organically and it’s only been more recently, with the modernization and industrialization of agriculture, that non-organic methods have become the norm. ⠀
⠀
The organic movement is really a return to simpler times and ways of growing food that align with nature and human health instead of harming both. ⠀
⠀
After all, what’s good for the planet is good for your health.⠀
⠀
Organic means that a food was grown with natural methods and without the use of chemical herbicides (like glyphosate), pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones or genetically modified seeds or feed.⠀
⠀
Organic foods must meet the US Department of Agriculture guidelines for how crops are grown, animals raised and for food processing in order to carry the organic seal or use the word organic on a label. ⠀
⠀
When it comes to organic labeling, there is a lot of confusion and organic standards have changed over the years. ⠀
⠀
When you look at a food or food product, here are some labels that you will see, and what the labels mean.⠀
⠀
Check out the link in my bio to learn more about the various “organic” labels and why it’s crucial to pay attention to them.⠀

⠀
Quite literally, our skin is an external reflection of our internal health.⠀
⠀
Oftentimes when something shows up on your face, like the various types of acne featured above, it’s an important clue to something deeper going on in the body. ⠀
⠀
If you are beginning to notice fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging or are dealing with acne, rosacea or another skin condition, Functional Medicine has a lot to offer your healing journey by working to address the root causes of your skin complaints. ⠀
⠀
This is because Functional Medicine is based on the premise that all systems in your body are interconnected. ⠀
⠀
The skin doesn’t live and function separately from anything else in the body.⠀
⠀
What is happening elsewhere affects the skin and what happens to the skin affects the body as well. ⠀
⠀
EVERYTHING is connected. ⠀
⠀
Conventional western medicine, on the other hand, divides the body into separate systems. If you have a rash or acne, you might go to a dermatologist for some testing or skin supportive medications or creams, which may be helpful temporarily.⠀
⠀
Functional Medicine, in contrast, really honors the connections between all the organs and systems in the body.⠀
⠀
Many issues and conditions that show up as symptoms on the skin, may have roots elsewhere. One of the common ones is between skin health and gut health. ⠀
⠀
If you’re struggling with acne, rosacea, and other skin related problems, then I’d like you to read my latest blog post, “How to get better skin - Skin and the Microbiome Connection.”⠀
