Doctor Turned Health Coach ·

2025/12/08

I built my DPC practice because I wanted medicine to feel human again. In this episode, I talk honestly about what worked and what almost broke me. Starting my DPC practice was one of the most meaningful decisions of my career. I reached a point in traditional medicine where I felt rushed, boxed in, and unable to give patients the time they deserved. I wanted a model where I could slow down, listen, and actually help people make real progress. In this episode, I talk about how my DPC practice

Doctor Turned Health Coach ·

2025/12/01

Most supplements do not fix the root problem. But habits do. Supplements are tools, not magic - they are no different than prescription medications. In this episode, I explain how I decide when a supplement makes sense and when it is a distraction. I start with the big picture, nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and support. I then review common products people ask me about. Creatine helps with strength and lean mass if you are training. Omega-3 can help if you rarely eat fish. Vitamin D can help

In this episode, I examine the coronary artery calcium score (CAC) and its role in assessing heart health amid concerns of over-reliance on the test as we near 2025. I highlight its limitations, including that a zero score doesn't rule out cardiovascular risks, while a high score can indicate accelerated plaque formation. I stress the importance of using CAC tests for those at moderate risk based on cholesterol levels and family history, rather than as a sole determinant for heart disease

I break down the two main effects I see clinically: slower gut transit that reduces appetite and central effects that quiet cravings or “food noise.” I explain why food drive varies widely between people, why these drugs don’t speed metabolism or change nutrient absorption in a meaningful way, and why most of the benefit comes from lower calorie intake.
