A practice focused on wellness and improving overall health

The core of the practice focuses on improving the overall health of an individual with particular interest in:

  • Stress Management and Mental health for working professionals

  • Hormone balancing (thyroid, peri-menopause, menopause)

  • Lifestyle choices to prevent and reverse of chronic disease

Focus of Practice

To achieve these goals, the practice leverages the principle features of Family, Lifestyle, and Integrative Medicine.

Family Medicine

  • Evidence-based allopathic “Western” medicine (including prescription drugs)

  • Care for all ages, whole body (not limited to any one organ system)

  • Cares for individuals in the context of the community in which they live

Lifestyle Medicine

  • Therapeutic lifestyle interventions to prevent and reverse chronic diseases

  • Nutrition, physical activity, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep, social connection

Integrative Medicine

  • Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease – including mind, body and spirit

  • Use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body’s innate healing response

  • Appropriate consideration given to the use of less-invasive and less-harmful interventions, when possible, while addressing the whole person in addition to the disease

  • The concept that medicine is based on good science, is inquiry-driven and open to critical consideration of new paradigms

  • Healthcare is best provided as a partnership between physician and patient
