Summary

• I am a board-certified internist and lifestyle medicine physician. I finished my IM residency training at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I was a primary care physician for almost six years. I am currently practicing as a lifestyle medicine doctor using a telemedicine platform. I work one on one with patients who most especially desire to understand the root cause of their chronic diseases, lose weight minimize prescription medication whenever possible. Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based lifestyle approach to prevent, treat and oftentimes reverse lifestyle-related chronic diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, gout, obesity, autoimmune disease, cancer, allergy, and many more. It advocates a predominantly whole food plant-based diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, and avoidance of risky substances.
