Why Start Full Life Medicine: For Your Health- Every Stage of Life

It truly bothers me to see people living with debilitating conditions, often without answers from traditional care, when a path to vibrant health is within reach. Whether it’s a child with autism or an older person with diabetes. My experience as a physician constantly reveals that many issues are linked to deeper imbalances that, if addressed, could prevent serious chronic diseases and dramatically improve overall well-being.

This insight ignited my mission: to restore health and vitality for young and old. As an athlete and person living in our modern world, I've faced my own health challenges that help me empathize with your journey. I've dedicated my life to studying these principles and utilizing them in my own life to achieve lasting wellness.

This means helping parents, especially mothers, understand how their health directly impacts their baby's well-being from conception. By addressing the root causes of health issues, whether for common conditions or complex chronic diseases, we empower both young and old to achieve lasting freedom, renewed energy, and the full life they've been longing for.While treating patients in the emergency room, I see many people come in with symptoms and problems that I know can be healed if I could work with them further.

I’ve been interested in and studied health and wellness for most of my life as an athlete. I have struggled with my health at times, and had weight problems, (and thus can empathize with your pain/struggle), I remain healthy by utilizing these strategies in my own life. I hope to help people find the freedom, health and life that they long for. 

My Story: Native Texan

I grew up in central Texas. Enjoying science, structures and organization, I entered college in pursuit of an engineering degree, but quickly realized a desire to help people find life. Mixing those desires I decided on a degree in Biochemistry/Biophysics, then pursued a PhD in cancer research, studying at a cellular level with small goals to cure cancer. But God began giving me a desire to interact more as a physician rather than in the laboratory. I’m grateful to have attended Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, getting all the benefits of modern medical doctor (M.D.) education as well as osteopathic training - helping me see the whole person and learn additional skills to treat and prevent disease. I am board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine.

For over 25 years I have studied and implemented functional/integrative medicine with increasing focus. As with many in this field, it began with my looking for answers to my own symptoms that modern medicine seemed unable to fully address. Finding my own healing has led me to understand the roots of our health, and desire to help others find answers, achieve optimal health, and know hope and healing are possible!

Other interests

I have been active in sports my entire life, with a focus on tennis and soccer, and then enjoyed competing in triathlon for several years. I love to be outside enjoying nature. I also spend time reading, working on a farm/ranch, with family, and regularly travel overseas to help those in need. Know that proceeds from your investment in you go to helping medical missions. While i fall short daily & am far from perfect, I endeavor to “live a life of love as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us.”
