“Seeing improvement in patients with something as simple as nutrition and lifestyle …seeing patients get better. They make little lifestyle changes and start to see the benefits and then they want more. And suddenly my passion for healthy living spreads.

 

People often come in feeling trapped, like they’re stuck. They feel sick, but everyone’s telling them there’s nothing wrong.

 

I understand that they’re experiencing real problems even if they don’t have a clear cut diagnosis. When they understand the possibilities—what they can do to get better—I get really excited because this is the kind of thing that can give them freedom.

 

I look forward to taking care of patients and teaching them knowledge that empowers them. When you teach them, they can take that, start to flourish, and then use it to take care of their families. And it’s ok when eventually they don’t come back because you know they’re doing well.”
