I am a certified organic farmer and I run a Detox Retreat on my farm in Eugene, Oregon. People come to detox by doing a juice fast or by eating a clean vegan diet. Detoxes receive massages, colon hydrotherapy sessions, guasha sessions, cranial/sacral therapy and daily coaching. I also do online or in person coaching for lifestyle changes.

I have been a plant based eater and cook for over 30 years. On our farm, we host people who want to change their lifestyle to include more plants. We also make our own herbal medicines for just about everything!

I am also a PBCC certified coach and am looking forward to working with individuals who want to change their lifestyle to enable them to have more vitality and health.

I’m an an ANCC board certified Family Nurse Practitioner who earned my Doctor of Nursing (DNP) degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and certification in nutrition from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. My clinical interests and specialties include primary care and lifestyle medicine, integrative nutrition and gut health, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming care. I provide patients with comprehensive care that is tailored to meet their individual needs.

I have combined my background in law and policy with my clinical skills and passion for healthcare to advocate for my patients while providing equitable care for underserved and marginalized communities. While completing my doctoral education, I conducted both local and national research and co-authored peer-reviewed publications. I have investigated dental hygiene programs in Hawaii, healthcare worker wellness in Hawaii, and the attitudes and intentions of healthcare providers across the U.S. toward vaccines during COVID-19.

I hold a Doctor of Medicine degree and have completed a residency in Emergency Medicine, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in managing complex clinical scenarios. My training has been complemented by a 12 months subspecialty fellowship in interventional pain management, where I have developed proficiency in a range of procedures including nerve blocks, epidural injections, Minimally invasive surgeries such as Spinal Cord Stimulator Implants Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression, and radiofrequency ablations. In addition, I have owned my own interventional practice for several years. I also practice a Whole Foods Plant Based No added Oil diet.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering patient-centered care, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual. My approach involves a multidisciplinary strategy, collaborating with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.

In addition to my clinical skills, I am adept at utilizing the latest pain management technologies and staying abreast of advancements in the field through continuous education and research. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity because of your commitment to innovation and excellence in patient care, values that resonate deeply with my professional ethos.

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of joining your team and contributing to the ongoing success and reputation. I am confident that my expertise and dedication would be a valuable asset to your department. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team and am available for an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and can provide further details upon request. I look forward to the possibility of working together to advance the field of pain management.

In addition to the above, my son is currently a senior at Corvallis High School, here in Corvallis, Oregon. His first choice for college is the Actuarial Sciences program at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. It would mean everything to me and my wife to advance my interventional pain medicine career while being close to our son.

I have committed my entire professional career, spanning 30+ years, to providing nutritional guidance for a multitude of individuals on their quest to disease management, prevention and wellness. As a passionate Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Plant Based Coach, I seek to empower my clients with the knowledge and skills needed to embrace a healthier lifestyle through the power of fresh wholesome foods.
Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege to work with individuals in clinical, wellness, and mental health settings. Many of these individuals were taking an exorbitant amount of medications to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. As a result of simple dietary changes to include wholesome plant foods, many were able to eliminate medications for these conditions. In fact, one individual lost over 100 pounds, which actually disqualified him from weight loss surgery.

My hope is that through engagement, and empowerment, I can assist individuals to incorporate principles of a whole food plant-based lifestyle to restore health and prevent the onset of chronic diet-related conditions.

I am a primary care physician, retired USAF Colonel flight surgeon, agricultural advisor/consultant and author of both health and agricultural books. I am a vegan along with my wife Lisa Everett Andersen who is a clinical pharmacist and certified clinical nutritionist. I started my adult life in sustainable/biological agriculture and subsequently went to medical school and have always practiced integrative medicine.

I provide primary care, integrative medicine, IV therapies, prolotherapy, nutrition counseling and collaboration with my wife and other clinical pharmacists at Obrien Pharmacy, Mission, Kansas. I treat new born to the most elderly, every kind of issue experienced including collaboration with NP midwives to sustain delicate pregnancies and assist with fertility and bioidentical hormone replacement therapies.
