Health Coach, Naturopathic Medical Student

My goal is to educate individuals in truth that they may come to living healthy, happy lives devoid of outside intervention.

I am a physician and health coach, working one-on-one with individuals, using the power of whole food, plant-based nutrition to reverse chronic diseases. I help my clients quickly overcome obesity, chronic pain, fatigue, diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, heart disease, and other health problems. I hold a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at Cornell University. I am a member of the National Society of Health Coaches and a graduate of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I opened my health coaching practice, Living Health Works, after practicing anesthesiology for 21 years. In addition to health coaching, I speak to professional organizations, and write a blog on the subject of food as medicine at livinghealthworks.com.
