Practice Areas
My overall practice is built around the balance and interplay between three pillars of good health—Nutrition, Movement and Sleep—to give you a comprehensive approach to recovering from any of your health issues and preventing others from emerging.
I always see my clients as experts: Experts regarding themselves and their lives. My expertise is about the science we rely on to guide you toward better health and wellbeing. Our engagement requires a partnership between experts who work together, sharing knowledge and goals. Only as partners, combining your self-knowledge with evidence-based strategies, can we create steps that don’t just look good on paper, but actually work with your daily life.
A description of the three pillars of health follows.
Nutrition
My clients often ask me, "Which diet works best?" In my view, this is not the right question. Nutrition is about much more than popular diets and the effect they have on the number displayed on the bathroom scale. Your body is your vessel for life, and what you feed it determines how well it runs. A better question might be, "How can I use nutrition to support my long-term health?" Reframing the goal toward the promotion of health is a critical starting point. We will navigate the complexity of optimal nutrition, combining general principles of science—such as how much protein you really need and which are the foods to choose as sources—with the realities of your life story.
My goal is to help you build a system that enables you to consider daily food choices with knowledge, clarity and freedom. Only then can you consistently make the right choices, improve your body composition, and feel at your best at any age.
Movement
Movement is perhaps the most potent medicine we have, but it needs to be the right dose and type for you. When taking advantage of expert recommendations tailored to your current situation, physical activity transforms from a chore into a tool for health and well-being. We will navigate the landscape of physical activity together to find what serves your body best, focusing on your preferences but also structured, evidence-based protocols. Depending on your goals and your age, we might target stability to keep you safe, strength to build resilience and freedom in movement, or aerobic training to support your heart and cognition.This approach is not just about general fitness; it is a way to help you improve or resolve most metabolic conditions (such as diabetes, insulin resistance, fatty liver and many more) and effectively manage or prevent frailty. Whether you want to feel more capable in your daily movements or push your performance, we will find the type of exercise that suits your current situation. Ultimately, our goal is not just to add years to your life, but to add life to your years.
Sleep
Sleep is the foundation that holds everything else together. It is the time when your body and your mind replenish. When you rest well, you feel energized and resilient, but when sleep suffers, it affects everything, from your immune function to your memory, from your emotional equilibrium to your metabolism. We will start by understanding why sleep is the foundation of health and look closely at your unique situation—your sleep environment, your daily rhythms, and your habits. Many issues related to health and vitality can be prevented or mitigated by building a solid foundation of “sleep hygiene”.We will take a look at these factors to shape a personalized plan that helps you fall asleep more easily and stay asleep. In some cases, we might also explore specific, non-tolerance-building supplements to give you extra support. My goal is to guide you toward a routine that enables you to wake up feeling truly rested and alert, preventing health issues down the line.
How the three pillars are interrelated
While we often discuss Nutrition, Movement, and Sleep as separate categories, your body experiences them as a single, interconnected system. They are in constant conversation with one another, meaning that a change in one area inevitably creates a ripple effect across the others. For example, a restless night does more than just leave you feeling tired; it disrupts the hormones that regulate hunger, making it chemically harder to make healthy food choices the next day. Conversely, the right nutrition fuels your physical activity, allowing you to move more spontaneously, and with intention rather than fatigue. And this purposeful movement? It helps regulate your blood sugar and dampens inflammation, while building the healthy "sleep pressure" your body needs to rest deeply at night, completing the circle. Because of this deep connection, we cannot treat these pillars in isolation. Neglecting one often stalls progress in the others, while improving one amplifies the benefits of all three. My approach is designed to harmonize these elements, ensuring they support rather than sabotage one another, creating a sustainable cycle of long-term health.
A few words on the importance of labs
Sometimes we need to look under the hood to see what is really going on inside our body. We often find ourselves with plenty of “data points”—the measurements from blood and other specimen samples that enable us to analyze results or trends. Which of these data points actually matter? Finding clarity on the specific lab work you need is the first step to assessing your current health status, understanding your personal risks, and anticipating future issues, rather than waiting to react after they have developed. I will help you identify the data points you need, learn to interpret the results, and use this clarity to track your progress over time.
