Throughout my career, I've witnessed both the remarkable capacity of the human body to heal and the profound impact that illness can have on individuals and families.
After more than a decade practicing neurological rehabilitation and musculoskeletal care, I became increasingly interested in how we could intervene earlier to preserve health, independence, and quality of life.
My father's battle with glioblastoma made brain health deeply personal. A five-time marathon runner, he embodied perseverance, resilience, and a commitment to healthy living. Losing him reinforced my appreciation for how precious our cognitive abilities, relationships, and everyday experiences truly are.
My personal experiences have also deepened my appreciation for neurodivergence and the importance of recognizing individual strengths, challenges, and differences rather than focusing solely on diagnostic labels.
These experiences inspired me to pursue advanced training in integrative, lifestyle medicine, metabolic psychiatry, and brain health and ultimately establish Marathon Wellness—a physician-led practice focused on healthy aging, cognitive longevity, and integrative mental health.
My approach combines conventional medicine with evidence-informed integrative and lifestyle medicine, emphasizing scientific rigor, personalized care, and genuine human connection. I believe in looking beyond diagnoses to better understand the whole person, identify potentially modifiable contributors to health, and support meaningful, sustainable change.
Whether helping someone preserve cognitive function, address chronic health concerns, explore integrative approaches to mental health, or simply feel and function their best, my goal is the same: to help people take a proactive role in their health.
Ultimately, I believe the goal of medicine should not simply be to help us live longer, but to help us live better—with vitality, resilience, cognitive health, and purpose.
