Target Root Causes Rather Than Just Managing Symptoms


Most people are not getting the help they need from our healthcare system “sick-care system”. 

In our system dictated by Insurance Companies, Big Pharma and Big Business, most people only have about 15 minutes with their doctor, and in that time, the emphasis is mostly just on prescribing and managing prescriptions, not helping them target the ROOT CAUSES of their problems, so they can PREVENT and REVERSE disease, without medications.

80% of our most common chronic diseases can be Prevented, including: 80% of Heart Disease, 80% of Strokes, 80% of Type 2 Diabetes, 40% of Cancers, 30% of Alzheimer’s Dementia, and More. 

Not only that, but many of our most common diseases can even often be reversed- including Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol.

I know what it feels like to struggle with your health, but not get answers or help from our healthcare system.


As a board certified physician who has worked on the front lines of our healthcare system in the ER for over 15 years, I know that most patients are not given any help to lower their blood sugars, cholesterol, and blood pressure, to help them lose weight, or to help them improve the way they feel, without medications— even though this is the help most people need most.

While searching for answers and a better solution, I continued my training, and earned a second board certification in Lifestyle Medicine. Through this training I learned about the ROOT CAUSES of our most common diseases, and how to help people PREVENT and REVERSE their type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol without medications—information I never learned in med school.

Realizing that if I didn’t know this information, my patients didn’t either, I made it my mission to empower patients to PREVENT and REVERSE disease by targeting ROOT CAUSES. The results have been incredible.

Everyone deserves this help.

"Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, free of disease and free of medications.

But in order to achieve this, we need the guidance, support, and tools to target the root causes of our problems— so we can prevent and reverse disease. Unfortunately, in our healthcare system, the emphasis is mostly just on disease management and expensive pharmaceuticals, not disease prevention and reversal— leaving most of the patients that I see feeling powerless and frustrated with their health.

I understand, because in the past, I have felt that way too.

I believe that everyone should have the right to the guidance, support and tools, to prevent and reverse disease and feel their best— and this is why I created my Head Heart Hands programs, which have empowered so many participants transform their health and transform their life, in just 12 weeks."

Reversing Insulin Resistance is the Key to Permanent Weight Loss   

Our body weight is regulated by a complex balance of hormones, and it is when this system is not working correctly, that we gain weight. These hormones, including Insulin, also are linked to many of our most common diseases-- including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, polycystic ovarian disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and dementia. This lifestyle plan aims to restore the natural balance of this system, and to REVERSE INSULIN RESISTANCE, while addressing the mindset issues which often hold us back. There will be NO counting calories, NO counting carbs, and NO shame.
