If you or anyone you know says,
“I don't feel right, yet the Doctors can't find anything wrong.”
“I eat right, but can't lose weight.”
“I have this pain, but I have tried everything, and nothing helps.”
You’re in the right place!
My passion for health and wellness started at an early age. When I was a young child, I was overweight and always sick and as I got older I wanted to find out how to fix that. As a teen I emersed myself in books about nutrition and health, and in my college years I studied nutrition at Montclair State University. Decades later, I still study, learn, read research papers and learn from my mentors every day. My mentors are doctors and health professionals who have had enough of the conventional health system. They are MDs who realized early on that the medical system did not help people become healthier; it just kept them alive. They take extremely sick people, some who have been told by other doctors that they have no choice but to live with their ailments, and fix them with nutrition and supplements. They get them off most, if not all, meds and give them their lives back. That's what they taught me to do. If you’d like to learn more about who my mentors are and how they’ve impacted both me and the field of functional medicine, feel free to browse their info under my Mentors tab.
This site is not flashy or gimmicky; it's down-to-earth and real, just like me. I did it myself because it's who I am. No professional health and wellness web designer was hired to create a fancy website because that’s not what matters. Unfortunately, I have seen many medical doctors who get into this space and put a lot into a showy website while their knowledge is lacking. Many of them have not studied biochemistry, physiology, research and nutrition at a deep level; yet they charge an enormous amount of money for their services, testing, and proprietary supplements.
My approach is both more comprehensive and more affordable than these doctors. I have helped clients get off insulin, blood pressure medication, thyroid medication and more! With my help, many metabolic and gut issues can be solved in one to three months. One of the first and best lessons I learned is that you only test for things that you suspect are the problem. Tests are there to confirm what I believe is going on, not to go on a fishing expedition. I combine a questionnaire called the Cell Blueprint with blood work to understand what priorities need to be focused on first. I have my clients use a special website where labs are taken at any LabCorp for a fraction of the normal price. If you can get them for less money somewhere else, that is fine, too! I do not make any money from any lab testing. We may need to obtain some additional blood work, but I won’t waste my clients' time or money.
Unfortunately, I’ve met clients who have spent $10,000 on testing, and the doctor never solved the problem. For example, one of my clients is an RN who had seen 30 doctors in two years, yet they could not find what was wrong with her. She sent me 26 panels of blood work they had ordered; that's not 26 blood tests, that's 26 panels of blood tests. In 48 hours, I figured out what was wrong. Being able to find the problem ironically made me second guess myself and wonder if I was incorrect. I asked my mentor of almost 30 years to cross check my findings. He analyzed it and congratulated me for correctly identifying my client’s issue. My mentors are a great resource to me if and when I need them while assisting my clients.
