Welcome to Integrative Health Solutions.
I have been a health care professional for over 20 years.
In my practice I primarily focus on treating people with complex, chronic degenerative and autoimmune diseases with a combination of the leading edge sciences of Functional and Nutritional medicine with the wisdom and vast experience of Traditional Chinese medicine. I have found that this combination of healing traditions helps me understand and respond to some of today’s most complicated health challenges in a very comprehensive and effective way.
My passion for these challenging medical conditions comes from my own experience of regaining my own health. Twenty two years ago I was diagnosed with a very aggressive combination of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease. I went from a 165 lb professional athlete to a 112 lb patient in the intensive care unit in under a year. Although pharmaceutical intervention saved my life, the doctors told me that I would likely be weak, sick and in pain for the rest of my life.
I, of course, wanted a second opinion!
After a year of eating an Ancestral diet, taking medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements, exercising appropriately, engaging in stress reduction practices like meditation and receiving treatments like acupuncture I was back to a healthy weight and was no longer experiencing any symptoms. The experience of resolving my condition has fueled my passion for being the best researcher and health detective that I can be while helping others to regain their health.
If you are suffering from chronic poor health, if you interested in attaining optimal health, or if you are a clinician looking for some insight into 21st century health care then you have come to the right place. Check out the Blog for informative and inspiring articles about health and the challenges we all face on a healing journey. If you are looking for support with healthy eating I wrote a book about it. If you need more direct and personal support I offer support through Skype and by phone.
If you feel ready to commit to a comprehensive detoxification, rejuvenation and weight loss program I offer a seasonal health challenge program four times a year.
