Two Broken Approaches to Health

Modern healthcare offers you a choice between two extremes—neither of which actually helps you live longer or better.

Mainstream Medicine

A Pill for Every Ill

Reactive, whack-a-mole medicine that treats symptoms downstream instead of causes upstream. Wait until something breaks, then prescribe.

  • Blood pressure high? Here's a pill.
  • Cholesterol up? Here's a statin.
  • Can't sleep? Here's Ambien.
  • No time to discuss diet, exercise, or stress
  • 15-minute appointments, lifetime medications
Influencer Wellness

Data Dumps & Hidden Agendas

Non-scientific advice from social media personalities earning commissions on every supplement and test they recommend.

  • Panels of 100+ labs with no guidance
  • Expensive supplements with no evidence
  • "Protocols" that change with sponsorships
  • Conflicts of interest never disclosed
  • Overwhelm disguised as optimization
A Better Way

Lifestyle First. Evidence Always. Medication When Necessary.

I'm a board-certified Family Physician with no supplement line, no affiliate links, and no hidden agenda. My only goal is helping you live longer and better using what actually works.

🎯

Parsimony Over Panels

We test what matters and skip the noise. No 200-marker panels—just the biomarkers with proven predictive value.

📚

Top-Tier Evidence Only

Every recommendation is backed by peer-reviewed research—not podcasts, not tweets, not sponsored content.

🥗

Lifestyle Before Prescriptions

We exhaust behavioral interventions first. But when medication is the safest, fastest path to stability—we use it.

🚫

Zero Conflicts of Interest

No affiliate codes. No supplement sales. No kickbacks. Just a physician whose only incentive is your health.

Triage First. Then Optimize.

We don't fix everything at once. We identify critical issues first, stabilize, then systematically improve—the same way good medicine has always worked. Each gate unlocks only when you're ready.
