"You see, I may have accumulated multiple degrees and certifications over the years, but that did not stop me from gaining nearly a hundred pounds and causing my health to completely fall apart. At the same time, I have been practicing typical Western medicine for four years, getting frustrated prescribing pill after pill after pill, and realizing that patients didn't like the pills; they cost money, they had side effects. And ultimately, despite all these medicines, my patients were still having heart attacks, strokes or needing heart surgeries. Something was missing. Then Netflix randomly suggested that I watch the documentary Forks over Knives and my whole mindset shifted."

"I was actually angry! I was never taught in 10 yeas of medical training that heart disease was not only preventible but even reversible in the vast majority of cases! I was not taught that other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, autoimmune disorders and many other things are actually preventible and treatable through a lifestyle medicine approach! I changed my diet instantly, lost a ton of weight and improved my energy and more! I have passion for lifestyle medicine and I shifted my practice towards a lifestyle medicine model."
