In this episode, I open up about my personal journey into medicine, how my son’s health crisis during medical school shaped the doctor I am today, and why I believe in practicing medicine with time, care, and accountability. As a licensed naturopathic medical doctor and primary care provider, I share how I balance conventional treatments with holistic approaches, and why I think medicine needs both science and humanity.

You’ll hear:

The personal story that drove me to become the kind of doctor I am today

Why I spend extra time with patients and focus on building trust

The strengths and challenges of both conventional and alternative medicine

How patients can learn who to trust in today’s confusing healthcare world
