Elie Jarrouge is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and nephrology. He was a hospitalist in Houston, TX from 2013 until early 2022. As a hospitalist, his job was to take care of acutely ill patients admitted to the hospital for a myriad of medical conditions. In his early 30s, he wrestled with a host of health issues including chronic back pain, high blood pressure, prediabetes and was 35 lbs overweight. After being frustrated with conventional approaches, he took a radical departure from mainstream medicine and used lifestyle to completely reclaim his health. After his personal experience and realizing that most patients who end up in the hospital are often metabolically sick, he shifted his professional interests to focus on nutrition as his main tool to combat chronic metabolic diseases, primarily obesity and type 2 diabetes. He currently coaches patients how to change their lifestyle and helps them reverse their chronic diseases and come off medications.
