I am fellowship-trained in anti-aging, regenerative and functional medicine. With 10 years of experience, I have been a forward-thinking leader in hormone optimization, preventive medicine, nutrition, and fitness. I take pride in the fact that I have followed a healthy lifestyle since I was a sophomore in high school. In spite of poor genetics, the excellent health I enjoy today at 39 years of age is a direct result of my commitment to healthy living. Why so much education post med school? School is no longer enough in my opinion and you may have notice this as well trying to find a medical practitioner who really knows the nuts and bolts of hormone optimization. They do not teach this in medical school and learning from the AndroGel Rep was not sufficient education to give my patients the care they need. This is my passion and I am committed to providing the most up-to-date care to my patients. Medical knowledge is increasing exponentially, and medical school is challenging enough just teaching students the basics of diagnosis and disease. By the time a doctor enters practice, medical research has already advanced 10-15 years. To stay current nowadays, some practitioners like myself have chosen to go back to school. I have made it my mission to train and teach physicians and coach patients on the gold standard approaches to hormone optimization and preventative medicine.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
