Board-Certified Internal Medicine | Metabolic Health & Physician-Guided Weight Loss

I am a board-certified internal medicine physician with more than 15 years of experience caring for patients in both hospital and telemedicine settings. For over a decade working in hospital medicine, I witnessed firsthand the consequences of chronic disease—patients repeatedly hospitalized due to complications of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.

These experiences shaped how I view modern medicine.

Much of healthcare today focuses on treating the late complications of metabolic dysfunction, rather than addressing the underlying drivers early.

During medical school and residency, physicians receive extensive training in diagnosing disease, managing acute illness, and performing procedures. However, the deeper metabolic and lifestyle factors that drive chronic disease—nutrition, insulin resistance, hormonal signaling, sleep, and environmental influences—often receive surprisingly little attention during formal medical education.

Over time, this became personal for me.

At one point in my own life, my BMI reached 30.1, placing me in the obesity category, dealing with early hypertension and increasing my risk for diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—conditions that also run in my family. Rather than accepting that trajectory, I began studying metabolic physiology, nutrition science, hormonal regulation, and the environmental and lifestyle factors that influence weight and long-term health—topics that are often only briefly addressed during medical school and residency training.

Through research, clinical experience, and my own lifestyle changes, I gained a deeper understanding of how metabolic dysfunction develops—and how it can often be improved or reversed when addressed early.

This experience reshaped the focus of my medical practice.
