Arkansas

After practicing preventive medicine and public health in Bangladesh for thirty years, I founded and am the Executive Medical Director of the nonprofit, the Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine, where our mission is to advance health through healthy living by empowering individuals and communities to prevent, treat and reverse disease through personal, effective, and sustainable lifestyle practices.  We envision a society in which individuals and their communities embrace, encourage, and facilitate healthy living.

I take a holistic and integrative approach to gynecology and obstetrics, but with a special interest in nutrition for treatment and prevention of chronic disease. I am a certified Food For Life instructor and spokesperson in Arkansas for the Washington, D.C.-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. In 2015 I co-founded the “Kickstart Your Health Little Rock” initiative with the Physicians Committee. I was interviewed for the upcoming documentary “Eating You Alive” (http://www.eatingyoualive.com).
