With over 13 years in traditional primary care, I am embarking on a journey to transition and deepen my approach, moving towards a more comprehensive, holistic model of care. This shift promises a wealth of benefits for your overall well-being.
I am thrilled to integrate new modalities into my practice, and I can't wait to share with you what you can anticipate from these exciting changes.
- Functional Medicine: I am currently advancing my expertise by studying functional Medicine, an integrative, patient-centered approach to health. This enables me to address the root causes of diseases, emphasizing optimal wellness. I'll be offering functional medicine consultations in the near future, adding a holistic perspective to the services provided.
- Culinary Medicine Specialist (CCMS) through Health Meets Food: I am in the process of becoming a certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, which will allow me to harness the power of nutrition for healing. This journey will not only make your care holistic but also deliciously tailored to your well-being.
- Brain Health Coaching with Amen Clinics: With my ongoing training in brain health, I aim to address the crucial connection between brain health and overall vitality, ensuring a comprehensive approach to neurological well-being.
- Health and Life Coaching with the Health Coach Institute (HCI): I am actively pursuing certification in Health and Life Coaching, focusing on holistic strategies to guide you in making health-centered life choices.
- Functional Patterns Training: I've been diving into the world of functional patterns training! This approach focuses on helping people move in ways our bodies were designed to. As a physician, I see firsthand how movement limitations can impact patients' quality of life, especially as they age. By understanding functional patterns, I can better guide my patients towards exercises that improve their everyday function. This means they can stay active, improve pain, and maintain their independence for longer.
The Rationale Behind the Shift.
While modern healthcare offers numerous advantages, it often overlooks the intricate balance of physical, emotional, and environmental factors impacting our health. By incorporating all this knowledge into my practice, I aim to offer a more rounded, all-encompassing approach to your well-being.
I'm very excited about this! Together, we'll chart a course through your health journey, addressing traditional concerns while also diving into broader aspects of holistic wellness.
