Summary

• I am an integrative functional medicine physician specializing in complex chronic diseases. An expert on cell function, the microbiome, and environmental toxicology, I focus my attention on cancer prevention and reversal as well as on most digestive, autoimmune, autonomic, and other chronic health conditions. Patients from around the world often come to see her after they've consulting with many other specialists and reaching their wit's end, left with no answers on how to cure their illness. My depth of knowledge in evidence based Eastern and Western medicine combined with over two decades of clinical medicine experience is why I am able to consistently find the gaps in care other experts miss and never have to accept the status quo.
  I founded SF Advanced Health in 2013 by bringing together the best minds in Eastern and Western Medicine and focusing on providing proactive healthcare solutions that go beyond pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures. With the philosophy 'Food Thy Medicine, Medicine Thy Food' at the center of my work, I places an enormous emphasis on nutrition and optimization of every organ so that the body is able to jumpstart the natural healing process based on treating the root cause and not only symptom alleviation.
  I am also the chief medical advisor for Cambiati Wellness and the UTI supplement company Uqora as well as for educational health tech start-up Advanced Health Academy. As one of the nation's top functional medicine doctors, I am passionate about changing the landscape of how medicine is practiced to be proactive, preventive and empowering versus conventional medicine's current model of being reactive and fear driven.
