Read MoreAre 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…

As we continue to learn more about C0V!D, it's increasingly clear that the health of the host (person) is paramount. ⠀
⠀
This is why I encourage you to take every action you can, right now, to improve your immune system to fight this infection. ⠀
⠀
The first step is by not underestimating the power of foundational health support. I’m talking about good sleep, stress management, exercise and, of course, solid nutrition. ⠀
⠀
Once the foundations are in place, I also believe implementing key supplements can help boost the immune system. ⠀
⠀
So today, I want to focus more on the nutrition piece of this prevention pie. Food is powerful medicine, especially when high quality foods are consumed consistently, day after day.⠀
⠀
By eating the right foods you build a foundation of health, support the immune system, lower inflammation, build optimal nutrient status and ward off chronic disease.⠀
⠀
For more tips regarding how to boost your immune system, check out the link in my bio to download my FREE Guide - which highlights 12 tips you can start implementing today for a healthier you. ⠀

If you get a cut or step on a nail, the immune system delivers pain, redness and swelling to the injury, so that immune cells can repair the damage and protect you from infections. ⠀
⠀
In this acute scenario, inflammation reduces when the job is done... ⠀
⠀
With chronic inflammation, however, there are simmering levels of inflammation throughout the body that never reduce to a safe level.⠀
⠀
Chronic inflammation is an underlying driver of chronic disease and is related to diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and many other health conditions and diseases.. ⠀
⠀
Looking for ways to reduce inflammation? If so, start with:⠀
⠀
• Loading up on anti-inflammatory foods⠀
• Eliminating inflammatory foods like sugar and processed foods⠀
• Controlling blood sugar⠀
• Making time to exercise ⠀
• Managing stress⠀
• And much more.⠀
⠀
Inflammation is of particular concern with C0V!D. This is because as the virus progresses, inflammation dramatically increases and may possibly overwhelm the system. ⠀
⠀
We know that those with pre-existing conditions, including the same chronic diseases related to inflammation, are at a higher risk for severe complications and fatality. ⠀
⠀
Because of this inflammatory connection, one goal of prevention and treatment of C0V!D (not to mention the prevention and treatment of chronic disease) is to reduce inflammation. ⠀
⠀
The most powerful tool for reducing inflammation?⠀
⠀
YOUR DIET. ⠀

When people think of the Paleo Diet they typically think of loads of steak and protein and zero carbs...⠀
⠀
But this couldn’t be farther from the truth!⠀
⠀
Which is why I'm an advocate for this lifestyle and its many benefits.⠀
⠀
What Paleo ACTUALLY is...is a diet that mimics what our early ancestors ate. It focuses on eliminating processed foods, sugar, dairy, grains, legumes, gluten etc. and incorporates whole, all-natural foods such as high-quality protein, healthy fats, and the right carbs like fruits and vegetables.⠀
⠀
This is precisely why it’s referred to as the “caveman diet.”⠀
⠀
The Paleo Diet’s primary principles are avoiding toxins and foods that are overly processed...and instead, focuses on foods that provide sustainable energy and looks at food as fuel/medicine to optimize health.⠀
⠀
The main foods allowed on the Paleo Diet are:⠀
- Organic, grass-fed meat and eggs⠀
- Fruits⠀
- Vegetables (except corn)⠀
- Fish⠀
- Nuts and seeds (except peanuts)⠀
- Healthy fats like olive, avocado or coconut oil⠀
⠀
If you’re interested in learning more about how to stay healthy and resilient and Paleo proof your life... I have plenty of tips and tricks to help you get started in the link in my bio.⠀
⠀
Have you tried the Paleo or Keto diet? If so, share with me what your experience has been like below.⠀
