My approach to medicine
One of the reasons I became a Gastroenterologist is because people appreciate a functioning GI system EVERY single day. People breathe, sleep, walk and so much more - all without thinking about it. But everyone appreciates it when they have a satisfying poop every day. That’s why I chose Gastroenterology – to give people that small but lasting happiness on a daily basis.
Through my work in Functional Medicine, I branched out beyond treating only GI complaints. I came to appreciate the impact of nutrition, environment, stress and trauma on the gastrointestinal system and the long-lasting impact on the rest of the body. It has been my great privilege to be able to help people heal, in both body and mind, with this approach.
