Welcome
This page is designed as a place to provide patient education about the importance of diet and how to eat healthy, reduce inflammation and prevent chronic disease.
I have a few blog posts covering topics I believe are important.
This page is intended to be a supplement to a comprehensive consultation.
Every body is different and we each have individual needs.
The information contained on this website reflects my understanding of physiology, immunology, cellular signaling, and autoimmunity and that from my Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine training.

One type of Artificial Sweetener has been linked to Cardiovascular disease.
The sugar alcohol Erythritol has been linked to an increase in platelets sticking together and increasing blood clot risk. It is found in many artificial sweaters alone and in combination with stevia, monk fruit ect.
- Based on my review Stevia alone is a safe alternative. Read your ingredients label to look for Erythritol.
Trusted Supplements
In general I like to use Fullscript for my supplements so i know they are actually what they say they are and they have 3rd party testing. They are cheaper since they come from their warehouse. I also use a variety of supplements from other local stores.
I personally like these brands: Integrative therapeutics, Pure Encapsulations, Throne, Nordic Naturals, Host Defense Mushrooms, GOLI, Nori Krill Oil, Qunol for CoQ10.
