About Us

RNs cannot prescribe. Thus, I decided to advance my education and licenses so that I could order the correct tests and treatments that my patients deserved. Since physician assistants generally work under physicians’ supervision and NPs may work independently of physicians, I chose to become an NP. Then, since I wanted to treat people of all ages, I earned both adult and child health NP licenses.

As an NP, I perform similar duties to those of a doctor: I obtain the patients’ histories (allergies, medications…), perform thorough physical examinations, order and interpret laboratory and diagnostic tests. I also diagnose, educate to empower, offer natural, healthy alternative options, and prescribe medications when needed. I have performed procedures such as starting IVs, blood draws, joint aspirations, incisions, drains, foreign body removals, biopsies, casting, suturing, stapling, and insertion of catheters and airways.

I thought: there are cancer centers everywhere, but how many preventive centers have you seen? I’d rather warn a child to wear a helmet than treat his head injury.

I’d rather be ProActive to Prevent your Dis-order Today than ReActive to Treat your Dis-order Tomorrow!

Modern medicine often tries to fix the problem after the fact. Once the damage is done, it’s often irreversible, what I call the “hard-boiled egg syndrome.” I’d rather prevent a heart attack than try to reverse the permanent/irreversible damage (dead heart muscle).

Rather than most practitioners who only use western (synthetic) or eastern medicine (more natural alternatives), I use both; I use what is best for that individual patient and unique situation. It may be a natural alternative, or a medication, or both. For decades, before there was even a school for functional (root cause) medicine, I have been merging eastern alternatives with western medicine (aka “integrative medicine”) to attack the root cause, produce synergistic effects and better outcomes.

Some problems may be avoided, controlled or even reverted with a combination of proper nutrition, weight reduction, physical fitness, lifestyle changes (i.e., smoke cessation) and other Biohacking methods that I call “not just supplementation, but ACTIVATION.” Activation is actually activating, or stimulating, vital pathways in our body to do what they used to do and should do, to work more efficiently.

Biohacking seems to be more than just “masking tape on a garden hose.” It seems to attack the root causes of the problems. Biohacking means to hack, or try to take control over, your own biology. We can Biohack with nutrients that affect our genes/genetic expression. For example, when Grandma ate well and stayed slender, she avoided her family tendency of diabetes from being genetically expressed.

Prevention is one of the most critical parts of healthcare, yet the most overlooked and under-budgeted.

The odds of getting killed in a plane crash are one in eleven million, but we still wear our seat belts, just in case. In the U.S., the current odds of developing diabetes as an adult are one in four, odds of developing obesity are one in three, and cancer just one in every two! The top two leading causes of death in the U.S. are heart disease and cancer!

The CDC estimates that 75% of healthcare funds are spent on chronic conditions, disabilities, and deaths that could have been prevented! We need to focus on being proactive with our bodies, as we do with wearing seat belts on planes and helmets on Harleys.

Preventive measures need to be learned and taught before disease; not merely to treat, but to try and prevent problems. Heart attack means that heart cells have died, a part of the heart (a vital organ) has died; for the most part, it’s irreversible damage, the hard-boiled egg syndrome. Rather than just treat heart attacks, more people should try to prevent heart attacks!

To beat the one-in-eleven-million odds of dying in a plane crash, you wear your seat belt. To beat the #1 cause of death (heart disease), a one-in-two-chance, a fifty-fifty chance of getting cancer, an often-deadly fate, most do absolutely nothing?! Perhaps, they lack the knowledge to empower themselves! Thus, my mission is to empower millions with this know-how.

Physical examinations do not typically prevent disease, but rather detect disease that’s already there. Exams are still advised because they can detect disease earlier.

Traditional medicine is geared at symptomatic relief only. But even though the symptoms may subside (i.e., chest pain), the underlying problem (i.e., heart blockage) is still there, silently worsening. Doctors prescribing pain medications are “masking” symptoms, not fixing them! Often modern medicine is like masking tape on a leaking garden hose, masking the problem and good for now. Meanwhile, the underlying root cause is continuing to worsen, until suddenly, the body can’t handle the problem any more, breaks down and totally fails.

Medicine is based on simple algorithms that do not tend to look for the root cause nor take into account individual factors like I do.

Before I started activating my genes, I felt very achy, didn’t sleep well, lacked energy, couldn’t focus and was sad.

Biohacking (i.e., “not just supplementation, but ACTIVATION”), has changed my LIFE!

Over time, I felt less achy and slept better, which, in turn, provided more energy and better concentration. The effects seemed cumulative i.e., more and more energy and that made me happy. I no longer needed medications and that made me happy too!

Many of my patients tell me similar success stories and that they have not felt this good in years! One patient said, “After many specialists, you were the first to introduce activation, not just supplementation, to me and I haven’t felt this good in decades!!”
