About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.: Foundational to my approach to dermatology is an understanding of how underlying states of health and disease manifest in the skin. Because I want my patients to not only look their best, but feel their best too, I take a holistic approach to optimizing the health and quality of the skin by also addressing the wellbeing of what lies beneath it. How? By including a discussion of the most effective, evidence-based, AND side-effect-free way to prevent and reverse inflammation and chronic disease — following a whole-food, plant-based diet! Why? Because I want my patients’ immune systems to not be so busy fighting dietary inflammation that they are prepared and able to stop new cancers themselves so my cancer-removing skills aren’t needed.
After doing a CO2 laser procedure to really turn-back-the-clock, I know that my patients following a plant based diet will have the added benefit of clear arteries to supply all the powerful antioxidants circulating from their meals filled with greens, beans, berries, and seeds to continuously support the newly-formed collagen from the inside-out. Additionally, whole-food, plant-based diets are unparalleled in their ability to boost fat loss while enabling lean muscle gain. This is particularly exciting for our patients seeking to jump-start their weight loss through CoolSculpting or increase their strength with the TruSculpt Flex as a whole-food, plant-based diet will not only help with immediate results, but help sustain a healthy weight and strong physique for years to come.
