Coming from years of prevention-focused care in internal medicine, I kept seeing patients who were doing everything right but still felt off — and I knew the answers existed, but I needed a better framework to find them.

Standard diagnostic labs are built to find and diagnose disease, and they do that well. Functional labs ask a different question entirely — why is this happening in the first place? When I found functional diagnostic nutrition, something clicked. It gave me a framework to finally look at the whole picture — gut health, hormones, thyroid, metabolism — and understand how they’re connected.

I sit at the intersection of three worlds: modern medicine, lifestyle medicine, and functional diagnostic nutrition. That combination means I can prescribe, I can interpret labs at a functional level, and I can build protocols that address root causes rather than symptoms in isolation. I’m not interested in quick fixes. I’m interested in understanding why your body is doing what it’s doing — and giving you a clear path forward based on that.

When I’m not seeing patients you’ll find me in the mountains — skiing, trail running, or biking — or in the garden, the kitchen experimenting with whole food cooking, or reading a book in the sunshine. I live for time with family and friends.
