His goal is to meet his patients where they are, and work with them at their pace to improve their health, one day at a time. Since beginning his journey in plant-based medicine, he has been repeatedly amazed to learn how a very healthy diet and lifestyle habits can help prevent, treat, and even reverse illnesses such as overweight and obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and colitis, as well as depression, early dementia, and some cancers.
