Our goal is to put you back in charge of your wellness, so that you can achieve the health and vitality that are natural symptoms of a being functioning well and in balance.

As Ben Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

As an Emergency Medicine physician, I see dozens of people every day that could have avoided coming to the Emergency Room by heeding this simple advice.

Why wait until you have a disease or disorder to pay attention to your health? There is a wealth of information and opportunity in your daily experience. Fatigue, lapses or excesses in energy, nonspecific aches and pains and other vague symptoms are there for a reason. Your blood pressure and cholesterol may be within a normal range, as may hormone levels and other markers of inflammation and chronic disease. Nevertheless, something is happening within the complex workings of your being…that presents itself now as only a minor discomfort. Not enough to get in the way of your ability to function. But why wait?

This information can reveal the beginnings of a problem. And it may be the key to the solution while it is still manageable; before it has consolidated into a disease or disorder. With the right information and perspective, with the right help, you can find out what your system’s tendencies are towards disease, illness, deficiency, and excess. And begin to make critical changes now.

As the Taoist sage Lao Tzu says, “Take on difficulties while they are still easy.” Nip potential and future problems in the bud…now. Do not resolve yourself to eventual and inevitable decay…begin a strategy now that brings your health forward into the future with you. Learn what you need today to live long…and live better.

	Whole Life Medicine is the manifestation of a lifelong desire to use medicine in a way that is beneficial to everyone; not just the sick. For years, I struggled with the dream of getting into medical school and becoming a doctor. However, when I finally got there I found myself struggling to find a way I could use the rigorous and proven facts I was learning in a way that would actually make a difference in peoples’ lives before they were sick or in crisis. This became even more apparent during my specialty training in Emergency Medicine, where I saw at the same time the tremendous amount we can do in an emergency… and how little we can actually change once things have progressed that far. I have finally found a way to incorporate my years of study and experience in tai chi chuan, meditation, acupressure, and other “alternative” practices into a method that also applies my years of medical training in a way that motivates people to make manageable changes now that can have tremendous impact down the line.

	Clients at Whole Life Medicine begin their experience with a comprehensive investigation into their current state of affairs. The experience begins with an in-depth medical history and physical exam. This is followed by an extensive, comprehensive panel of blood tests, individualized to each client. The information discovered and revealed by this process is then presented to you in a written format, in a way easy to read and understand. All of this great information is then available for us to work on, together, as a team, to create a collaborative strategy to achieving your best health. This includes incorporating experts in the fields of holistic medicine, nutrition, supplements, hypnosis, acupuncture, and bodywork. We then continuously re-evaluate and course-correct that approach. This means that your resources are used for maximum benefit and potential to you, so that your time and energy can be concentrated on creating change - and enjoying the results.
