Functional Medicine & Wellness in Houston
As a dedicated practitioner of Functional Medicine, I have spent over two decades helping patients achieve optimal health through personalized nutrition and lifestyle interventions. My journey began in emergency medicine, where I developed a deep understanding of acute care before transitioning to chiropractic and functional wellness. Since establishing my private practice in 2000, I have combined rigorous academic training with hands-on clinical experience to address chronic illnesses and complex health cases. My practice integrates advanced Functional Medicine testing with evidence-based nutritional strategies, tailored to each patient's unique needs.I have also shared my expertise as an educator, teaching emergency procedures at Texas Chiropractic College for five years. Today, I extend my mission through Functional Wellness Academy, providing accessible online education to empower individuals with knowledge about holistic health solutions. My commitment to patient-centered care remains rooted in transparency, continuous learning, and a passion for transforming lives through natural, sustainable wellness approaches.
