I
have had the vision of being a doctor in my mind since
I was a boy in a small town in upstate New York. I
would try to EAT WELL and EXERCISE to help become
strong and fit. Going through high school I wondered
why I did not have problems with acne like my friends.
Later I learned that it was because my parents grew
and we ate most of our food from our garden. More
importantly, we ate less processed food as a result. I
have gradually learned whole foods help my body do its
own healing via the process of detoxification and
elimination and by bringing wonderful nutrients into
it. Becoming a doctor I have learned that I can help
you begin your steps back to natural health through
simple things like food. I also use other therapies
including HYDROTHERAPY, which uses hot and cold water
to bring out the Vis medicatrix naturae of your body
and modulates or balances inflammation and the immune
system. I also have an extensive background with
musculoskeletal injury and dysfunction. I use massage
and physical therapy techniques as well as the other
naturopathic interventions including diet assessment
and development, manipulation, nutri-ceutical medicine
and botanical medicine. There are millions of
wonderful processes that are going on in your body to
allow you to live your incredible healthy life
everyday. Let's work together to have your body be
in your best and most optimal health. This is my
passion and this is what you can count on me for
regarding your health.
