Credentials & Certifications
Medical Doctor, Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Sports Medicine
What do you do on your free time?
I enjoy a variety of hobbies, including hiking, mountain biking, cycling along the greenbelt, nature photography, kayaking, cooking, and taking dance lessons. I also cherish spending time with my 19-year-old daughter, who lives in Washington.
What brought you to the world of functional medicine?
Early in my career, I explored ways to improve the orthopedic and musculoskeletal system, which led me to acupuncture, chiropractic, and physical therapy. In the late ’90s, I discovered Functional Medicine while teaching at Bastyr University, where I was introduced to naturopathic medicine. In 2003, I began teaching for the Institute for Functional Medicine, attending their trainings, connecting with global experts, and speaking at and helping plan their annual meetings.
