About Us

I, as a retired physician DO, with over 30 years of experience in functional health, nutrition, and safe & effective application of nutraceuticals, along with Alicen Nia, a certified nutritional consultant and medical administrator of over 30 years who successfully healed her own gut-metabolic issues, are inspired to offer you a mind-body, personalized, and practical approach. 

I obtained my undergraduate degree in physiology and biochemistry in 1985. I completed my doctorate degree in osteopathic medicine from the original school of the founding father of osteopathy in Kirksville Missouri (class of 1993.) I pursued my postgraduate training in a 3 year family medicine residency. The scope of my clinical experience ranged from emergency care in underserved communities, to urban occupational medicine, to establishing my own primary care clinic in functional integrative medicine. Although I retired from my practice, my deep passion & experience in teaching inspired me to offer Nutrition & Lifestyle consultations based on the principles of Functional Nutrition and Functional Medicine.  

Over 25 years ago, health challenges inspired me to search for a natural, practical, and effectual lifestyle.  

My background in health administration and nutrition, along with my personal health experience, provides a holistic approach to guide you to achieve your health goals. 

I have been a certified Nutritional Consultant for over 18 years. I work with clients from all walks of life and help them navigate life's challenges. My background in medical administration and my personal health challenges allow me to provide a holistic approach to nutritional coaching.
