As A Patient
I am just like you!
I have experienced many years of pain from my autoimmune disease and arthritis. I understand how it feels to be a patient and understands that not every patient wants pharmaceutical drugs to get better. I have been through the highs and lows of suffering from chronic disease and understand how hard it is to find the right doctor. I still remember the days that I could not walk to work or had to take days off of school due to my chronic illness. Luckily, I don’t have to think about that anymore as a patient as my disease has improved significantly.
As A Specialist
I am on a mission to help others like myself.
Because of my holistic healing journey, I have made it a priority to find out answers for my patients outside of conventional medicine. I am a graduate from the University of Arizona, I am certified in functional medicine through the Instititute of Functional medicine, and I am certified in lifestyle medicine from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I understand the power of pharmaceutical drugs but also know that autoimmune disease can improve through a more holistic route as well. I use the knowledge I have learned from functional, integrative, and lifestyle medicine to develop a unique treatment plan for my patients.
HEALING AND RESTORATION STARTS WITH EACH MEAL.
I see patients all over the USA and internationally as well.
I combine many of these medicines to make a custom plan that works best for each patient. Please go to my clinic website www.drlifestyle.org to learn more about my practice and to make appointments.
