About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy of care is rooted in the osteopathic philosophy of medicine, which sees an interrelated unity in all systems of the body, with each working with the other to heal in times of illness. Osteopathic medicine brings a whole-person approach to care by focusing on looking beyond mere symptoms to understand how lifestyle and environmental factors impact well-being.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to make a difference in the lives of others. With chronic diseases at epidemic levels in our country and throughout much of the world, many people are becoming disenchanted with the current mainstream medical model and the overall worldly complexities, and yearning for a healthier, fitter, simpler, more connected and meaningful existence. Indeed, we are entering into a wellness revolution regarding personal health. People are realizing that health is one’s most valuable asset, and that health is essential for well-being and happiness. This shift will have monumental benefit to individuals, communities, societies, ecosystems and indeed the planet as a whole. What better legacy to leave for future generations!
Personal interests
I am establishing a hobby farm, and plan on growing organic fruits and vegetables, raising heritage chickens, establishing a honeybee colony and cultivating a medicinal herb garden. I enjoy cooking, biking, skiing, hiking, camping, kayaking, playing guitar and chess. I also enjoy writing, and plan on creating a blog with content on hobby farming, health and wellness.
