Summary
- I am a board certified internist, trained in Western Medicine. In my capacity as Chief Medical Officer for AffirmativHealth, I provide expertise in Western Medical Science as well as bring together the ancient medical knowledge of Ayurveda to work in concert with my western training and experience. My goal is to bring you to the highest level of health and well being possible. At AffirmativHealth, we provide a targeted and comprehensive program, wholly based in science, for treating early Alzheimer's disease and dementia. You can read about what we do in our new book, Outsmart Your Brain - An Insider's Guide to Life-Long Memory (available on Amazon, Google Books and Barnes & Noble). Our latest research, found in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports, shows that our program not only stabilizes cognition but improves it, providing hope that there is a way to treat memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.
