My story
A lifetime of searching for real answers
My path to root-cause medicine started long before I wore a white coat. As a kid, I watched my mom's health decline for years with no real answers.
She gained 100 pounds and battled high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, depression, and ulcers. Doctors gave her one prescription after another, but nothing truly improved. Her diabetes went undiagnosed for years, caught only after a car accident sent her to the ER, and the spiral eventually led to thyroid cancer and multiple surgeries. Watching a decline that felt so preventable shaped my mission: look past the symptoms and find what is actually driving them.
Then, at 25, I hit the same wall myself. Unexplained fatigue, chronic joint pain, hormone imbalances, and test after test that came back normal. After a year of frustration, a conversation at a functional medicine conference uncovered my real problem: Lyme disease.
That moment changed everything. I dedicated myself to the deeper causes of chronic symptoms, questioned the conventional playbook, and built an approach that actually works. Today I help people who have been dismissed find the root of what is really going on.
