My Story

I've been there...

For over 20 years, I lived in the world of high achievement — gaining multiple degrees in science, earning credentials, working with large corporations, leading major R&D projects, and checking every box of professional success.

From the outside, it looked like I had it all together — the accomplishments, the recognition, the drive.

But on the inside, I was running on empty.

I remember one cold winter morning, sitting in the parking lot outside work — unable, and if I’m honest, unwilling to step out of the car.

My head was filled with mental chatter — a thousand thoughts colliding at once.

My neck and shoulders were so stiff I could barely move.

My personal life felt like a hot mess, and my professional life seemed hollow.

I felt directionless. Helpless.

I had lost my hair, the spark in my eyes, my confidence, and any sense of excitement. It was complete mental overload — mixed with physical pain and heaviness that I didn't even know how to name at the time.

There was nothing to look forward to — only the heavy knowing that something was deeply off inside my body, and that I was an accident waiting to happen.

I felt the weight of everything pressing down — the exhaustion, the overwhelm, the quiet realization that something had to change.

That moment became my turning point.

It didn’t happen overnight.

It took time — learning to slow down, to listen to my body, to heal, and to rebuild myself piece by piece.

Through that process, I discovered something powerful: the same science I once used to develop products could also be used to transform lives — beginning with my own.

Today, I combine evidence-based lifestyle medicine, food-as-medicine principles, and behavior change techniques with a deep understanding of the mind–body–spirit connection.

Because healing isn’t just about what you eat — it all starts with the right mindset, and how you nourish your thoughts, your energy, and your relationships.

I help individuals translate science into simple, actionable strategies to prevent burnout, restore vitality, and create harmony in every area of life.

Because true success isn’t about how much you achieve — it’s about how deeply you feel alive while doing it.
