Every new patient I meet is like a puzzle, and I relish the experience of helping each person find the unique combination of pieces that makes their life more complete and fulfilling. I understand that lifestyle change is hard and uncomfortable, but it can also be purposeful and manageable when thought of as a more long-term investment toward your best self.

So how do we actually make lifestyle changes that we can stick to, for good?

Once I practiced this for myself, I found that food affected my mood, digestion & energy.

I want to help you figure out how to eat in a way that is healthy for you, and that's going to look a little different for everyone. A good nutrition plan should add value to your life, not take center stage.

They've tried strict diets, joined numerous exercise programs, and set unrealistic goals - only to experience frustration and failure.
