Personal Statement
My life's work and passion is studying and practicing medicine in my area of specialty, Age Management (Anti-Aging) or Preventive Medicine. Throughout my training and practice of Internal Medicine (Adult Medicine), I often wondered how many of my patients could have changed the course of their lives if only they had consulted a physician with specialty training in Preventive Medicine/Age Management Medicine. So much of the chronic illness and disease that I managed in daily medical practice was preventable. I decided early on to pursue further training in the areas of interest to me, particularly Preventive, Holistic and Longevity Medicine.
In my own life, I practice what I preach. I follow a well designed complete program for healthy aging. As I spent more and more hours invested in learning about prevention, I applied it to my own life and I saw the difference that it made. It is my strong belief that the doctor must heal thyself first before attempting to guide others in their own healing. It always seemed ironic to me that a physician who claimed to be a healer and who had clearly not followed their own advice would ask more of their patients than they did of themselves. My own individualized program for healthy aging consists of the synergy produced by a low glycemic, anti-inflammatory nutritional approach, that in my case is calorie restricted but nutrient dense, optimal exercise and appropriate hormone modulation. I have experienced the difference that this program has made in my life and I invite you to contact me to discuss the difference that it can make in yours.
