I was diagnosed with multiple auto immune conditions. This hit me out of the blue. Just days before, I had been treating 30 patients a day and taking 36-hour calls at the hospital. Suddenly, I found myself exhausted, in constant pain, and feeling as though my entire system had shut down. Desperate for answers, I sought help from one doctor after another, but conventional medicine failed to offer relief. The medications I was prescribed only caused debilitating side effects.



Disillusioned with the limitations of traditional approaches, I turned to my own research in complementary and alternative medicine. I had always admired the work of Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Mark Hyman, so I began incorporating their insights into my life. I made transformative lifestyle and nutritional changes, and embracing daily rituals of exercise, breath training, yoga, and targeted nutritional supplements. Slowly, I began to feel like myself again.

While continuing to practice medicine at the Texas Medical Center, I was honored to be recognized as one of the Top 10 Internists in both Houston and the state of Texas. Over my 13 years as a primary care physician, I had the privilege of treating around 50,000 patients and serving on the Board of Integrative Medicine at St. Luke’s. Yet, my passion for Integrative and Functional Medicine only grew stronger.



I knew I had to dedicate myself fully to this field. Over the next four years, I embarked on a rigorous journey of training with some of the most esteemed experts, including Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Neil Nathan, and Dr. Dale Bredesen. I completed a prestigious two-year fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, training directly under Dr. Weil. As one of the first couple of hundred physicians globally to complete this fellowship, I felt equipped yet still eager to learn more.



I deepened my expertise by becoming one of the early practitioners worldwide to earn IFMCP certification in Functional Medicine. My dedication to mastering environmental medicine led me to train with the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness, under the direct mentorship of Dr. Neil Nathan. Inspired by Dr. Dale Bredesen’s groundbreaking work in dementia reversal, I completed his program to further enrich my understanding. Additionally, I expanded my training in genetics, exploring how genetic factors influence health and contribute to personalized treatment approaches.
