"Complete health involves physiological, psychological, emotional, spiritual and financial aspects. All of these play a role in well-being. I use the latest science, coupled with individual needs to guide people on their journey towards optimal health. Communicating the 'scientific-why' behind medical strategies empowers individuals to make more healthful decisions based on their own unique set of circumstances."
"The science of medicine is complex and ever changing. Plus, the availability of medical information is overwhelming. My ability to interpret, integrate and communicate the tsunami of medical science information into practical easy-to-understand solutions is something I excel at and thoroughly enjoy."
