I’m a physician focused on helping patients achieve optimal health and longer healthspan through preventive medicine and lifestyle changes.
Core Philosophy
– Health requires daily conscious awareness and proactive maintenance
– Most healthcare is self-care
– Healthspan (years without chronic disease) is as important as lifespan
– Prevention is better than treatment
– Lifestyle changes are key to lasting health improvements
Key Areas of Focus
Sleep Optimization (7-9 hours/night)
– Maintains body homeostasis
– Strengthens immune system
– Requires good sleep hygiene
Physical Activity
– Regular exercise is essential for health
– Customized to individual needs
Nutrition
– Diet significantly impacts overall wellbeing
– Focus on healthy eating patterns
My Approach
1. Comprehensive health assessment
2. Evaluate current health status through:
– Physical examination
– Lab work when needed
– Imaging if required
– ECG as appropriate
3. Address lifestyle factors at every visit
4. Develop personalized health strategies
Patient Self-Assessment Questions
1. Am I truly healthy? How do I know?
2. What aspects of my health need attention?
3. How can I improve my physical and emotional wellbeing?
Remember: Many chronic health issues stem from lifestyle choices. Making conscious daily investments in your health – like contributing to a retirement plan – leads to long-term benefits.
