Culpeper

I delight in empowering my patients to manage their acute and chronic disease through application of lifestyle interventions such as whole food plant-based diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, avoiding risky behaviors, and connection; I am certified in lifestyle medicine with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and I am actively involved in my community by giving presentations on plants as medicine, the Blue Zones, and the role that animal production plays in climate change and the environment. I am particularly interested in outreach to the Hispanic community, as many members have chronic diseases but no access to health insurance and limited resources. I am also a Food for Life instructor with PCRM.org, offering health and cooking classes in my community.
