Precision medicine is a highly personalized, preventive practice of lifestyle, metabolic and integrative medicine. The goal is to prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease for each patient. The best medicines: nutrient-dense whole foods, movement, community, sleep, compassion, service, laughter, sunshine, intervals of fasting, gratitude, time in nature, time with pets/animals, and the dissociation of oneโs ego ๐ฏ๐ฏ I trend laboratory biomarkers, body composition/imaging data and wearables (CGM, HRV) with my patients to optimize performance and health(span). The goal is to reduce inflammation, atherogenic lipoprotein burden, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, intestinal dysbiosis, glycation, insulin resistance, sarcopenia, osteopenia, cognitive decline and immune senescence. -Board Certification, American Board of Emergency Medicine (2004, 2014) -Board Certification, American Board of Obesity Medicine (2022) -Certifications: North American Menopause Society, Age Management Medicine Group Institute of Functional Medicine, International Peptide Society -Fellowship in Precision Medicine, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine -Member: National Lipid Association, Obesity Medicine Society Residency Training: University of Chicago, Emergency Medicine 2000-2003 (Chief Resident) Assistant Professor of Medicine, U of Chicago 2000-2010 Assistant Professor of Surgery, Loyola University 2010-2018 Education: MD Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, 2000 BS U of Illinois (Biology & Chemistry, graduation w distinction) 1996 I believe the pursuit of longevity is anchored by the regulation of mTOR, cAMPk and IGF-1.
