10 Years Sober This Week

Ten years ago, if you told me I’d be celebrating sobriety by running a medical practice and talking about gut health, I would’ve laughed. Yet here we are.

I thank Jesus first for carrying me through, and I’m grateful for my wife Alyssa, my kids Luke and Emma, my parents, and everyone who stood by me when life was messy.

I’m blessed to care for people’s body, mind, and spirit—and that work helps keep me sober. I do this not just for myself, but for the people still struggling who need to know healing and freedom are possible.

And I do it for my kids, Luke and Emma. I want to build a legacy they can be proud of—one rooted in faith, purpose, and service.

One day at a time—ten years strong, and just getting started.

𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁.

At my heaviest, I was 268.5 lbs and wearing size 40 pants.
That number doesn’t define me, but it does shape how I show up to help others.
I know what it feels like to carry more than just weight - the frustration, the exhaustion, the shame.

Now as a Functional Medicine Provider, I get to walk alongside others on the same journey with real tools, root-cause care, and compassion.

Yes, I offer GLP-1s, but I do it differently.

No one-size-fits-all plans. No magic shots without support.

I approach weight loss the way it should be: comprehensively from hormones and inflammation to mindset and metabolic repair.

I’m now offering a range of peptides, including GLP-1s, in a safe, supported, and personalized way.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
You just need someone to help you put the pieces together.

Let’s do this the right way.

✝️ The Future Is Functional

I didn’t get into medicine to hand out pills and rush through 7-minute visits.
I got into this to listen, to care, and to help people truly heal — body, mind, and spirit.

That’s why I practice functional medicine.
Not just to manage symptoms, but to ask the deeper question:
Why is your body out of balance? What’s the root cause?

And I believe God designed our bodies with an incredible capacity to heal —
but we need time, truth, and the right tools to get there.

This isn’t just medicine.
It’s ministry.
It’s purpose.

🧠 CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) is a complex condition caused by a persistent immune response to environmental or infectious triggers — and tick-borne co-infections are one of them.

Attending the CIRS Conference in Arizona deepened my understanding of this connection, and it’s what sparked my interest in ILADS certification. I want to stay on top of the latest research so I can better support my patients dealing with chronic, multisystem illness.

✅ True healing requires us to look beyond conventional models and embrace all aspects of medicine—immune function, infection, environmental exposure, and more.

Grateful for this learning opportunity and excited for what’s ahead!
