It trusts that food is medicine, that diets should be personalized, and that our lifestyle choices are powerful determinants of our overall health. Licensed Nutritionist and Physical Therapist
When I saw my own children thriving on an ancestral diet, I became even more fascinated by groups of people still eating traditional diets—ones untouched by modern processing and convenience. I learned that
those still eating traditional diets don't suffer from chronic illnesses—they maintain their health throughout their life, even in old age. I further witnessed the benefits of a nutrient-dense, whole foods diet when I began to follow an ancestral approach to my own nutrition and lifestyle. I stopped having cravings, my hormones practically balanced themselves and my allergies disappeared. Lifestyle and nutrition have a strong relationship in research, and that relationship has guided my personal life too. I've always been focused on physical health and how to build and keep my strength. As a high school athlete, Division I lacrosse player at Hopkins, personal trainer, and now a doctor of physical therapy, my next step to round out my background with nutrition and functional medicine made sense. Today, I can tell you with full confidence that most chronic diseases can be treated through diet and lifestyle choices—functional nutrition. Everything from heart disease, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, allergies/asthma, eczema, and so many other conditions rooted in chronic inflammation.
