Personal Statement
I established this practice to provide an option in healthcare, focusing on long-term wellness rather than just treating illness. I believe that chronic diseases are primarily driven by lifestyle choices, and that making lifestyle changes is key to finding root-cause healing. There is significant success with low-carb approaches, including more extreme diets like the carnivore and lion diets. However, these are not the only paths to achieving root-cause healing. Factors such as sleep, stress management, exercise, movement ability, and environmental exposures are also crucial in helping individuals heal. I have successfully implemented these strategies with my patients, and I use them myself.

While this practice is founded on Catholic principles, it is not exclusively for Catholics. I want to make it clear that these moral foundations guide my approach to healthcare. Many of these principles were articulated by Popes Pius XI and Pius XII, the most recent popes to thoroughly address these matters.

As the sole employee of this practice, I can assure you that any communication will be directly with me, your doctor.
