I went to medical school at Chicago Medical School (Rosalind Franklin University), and received two Masters of Biomedical Sciences and Health Administration, I went to one of the blue zones – Loma Linda University for a family medicine residency and lifestyle & integrative medicine fellowship. I’m double board-certified in family medicine and lifestyle medicine and an expert in healthy behaviors.

For my entire career, I’ve loved studying human behaviors. I saw how many got stuck in bad habits and struggled to get help, take their medications, or get healthier. I saw patients being trapped in a revolving door that led to frequent doctor’s visits, hospitalization, and eventually an early death. I witnessed the power of life-saving procedures and medications, but it was mostly temporary because most people went back to their same life and unhealthy patterns.
