Physician. Functional Medicine Strategist. Longevity Architect.
Helping women 35+ restore hormonal resilience, rebuild metabolic strength, and extend long-term vitality through precision root cause medicine.
My Clinical Philosophy
Midlife physiology requires a different level of medicine.
Hormonal shifts, metabolic resistance, stress physiology dysregulation, and mitochondrial decline are not random events — they are predictable biological transitions.
My work focuses on restoring cellular energy, recalibrating hormone signaling, and rebuilding long-term resilience through structured, phase-based care.
The Way I Practice Medicine
In conventional care, many women are told their labs are “normal” while their physiology clearly is not.
Energy declines.
Sleep fragments.
Muscle mass shifts.
Weight becomes resistant.
Anxiety rises.
ycles change.
These are not random symptoms.
They are stress-pattern adaptations unfolding over time.
Midlife is a biological transition — not a failure of willpower.
My clinical work focuses on identifying the underlying drivers of metabolic resistance, hormonal dysregulation, inflammatory load, and mitochondrial decline. Using advanced functional diagnostics and a structured, phase-based framework, I guide patients through precise restoration rather than symptom suppression.
This is not trend-based wellness.
It is longitudinal, physician-led systems medicine.
I work primarily with women 35+ who are navigating the intersection of stress physiology, metabolic aging, and hormonal transition — and who want clarity, structure, and long-term resilience.
Because longevity is not simply about living longer.
It is about preserving strength, cognition, metabolic flexibility, and physiological capacity as you age.

The Difference in My Approach
My work is structured, physician-led, and longitudinal.
I do not practice symptom-based medicine.
I build physiological restoration plans.
My approach is:
• Mitochondria-first — restoring cellular energy as the foundation of metabolic and hormonal resilience
• Stress physiology–centered — addressing nervous system load, cortisol patterns, and adaptive dysfunction
• Diagnostic-driven — utilizing advanced functional lab interpretation to uncover root drivers
• Phase-based — structured care that builds progressively rather than layering random interventions
• Longevity-oriented — focused on preserving strength, cognition, metabolic flexibility, and long-term vitality
Every intervention is strategic.
Every phase builds on the last.
Every plan is designed for long-term physiological capacity — not short-term symptom relief.
The REWIRE™ Longevity Method
All private care within my practice is structured through The REWIRE™ Longevity Method — a physician-designed, phase-based clinical framework.
REWIRE is built to address the biological cascade that often unfolds in women 35+:
Chronic stress load → Mitochondrial decline → Hormonal dysregulation → Metabolic resistance → Inflammatory burden.
Rather than layering isolated interventions, REWIRE organizes care into strategic phases designed to:
• Regulate stress physiology
• Reduce inflammatory and toxic load
• Restore mitochondrial energy production
• Recalibrate hormone signaling
• Reinforce long-term metabolic resilience
This structured progression allows the body to adapt, recover, and rebuild capacity — rather than being pushed into temporary compensation.
REWIRE is not a quick fix.
It is a clinical architecture for longevity.
Beyond the Clinic
My work is grounded in a deep respect for physiology and human resilience.
I remain endlessly curious about mitochondrial science, stress adaptation, metabolic flexibility, and the biological architecture of aging. I believe midlife is not a decline — it is a recalibration point.
Longevity is not about chasing youth.
It is about preserving strength, cognition, and metabolic capacity for decades to come.
True vitality requires structure.
It requires strategy.
And it requires a physician who understands the full system.
