From Patient to Healer — A Journey of Transformation
Every healer has a story. Mine began with my own struggle with chronic illness.

Started my journey studying qi gong, traditional Eastern medicine, and various holistic healing modalities.
After 15 years of training, I opened my first dojo with my instructor to begin teaching martial arts professionally.

Began struggling with a debilitating chronic illness that left me disabled for over a year. I had severe fatigue, depression, carpal tunnel, hot flashes, chills, tendonitis, systemic joint pain, crippling neck and back pain. I couldn’t train and couldn’t work. I hit rock bottom and lost everything. My condo, my girlfriend, and my business all evaporated before my eyes.

One of my mentors and a brilliant nutritional formulator, the late Reid Eckert, saved my life. After walking into his vitamin shop on a fateful afternoon, he confidently told me he knew what was wrong and that he could ‘fix’ me.

Frustrated at the horrific state of our health care system—and not understanding why a young, insured, previously healthy athlete couldn’t get relief—it felt like a calling from God.

I began my practice focusing on root‑cause healing in a storage closet of a physical therapy office where my mother worked as an occupational therapist for over 25 years.

As demand grew, it was time to upgrade so I could help more people. I moved into my own space and transitioned from a single room shop to a 4‑room clinic.

My brother—a double board‑certified internal medicine and obesity medicine hospitalist—became increasingly fed up with the status quo. He pivoted into longevity medicine, hormone optimization, peptides, and medical weight loss. We partnered to open a longevity center in Boca Raton.

We now operate three integrative medicine clinics in South Florida. I serve as Chief Medical Officer for a mental health facility, and we’ve helped well over 10,000 patients reclaim their quality of life.
