Read more…I am a dermatologist raised on a Western diet, who converted to plant-based eating nearly 5 years ago after being forced to read The China Study for my wife’s birthday present. She knew that I would be convinced as an epidemiologist if I read the data, and she was right. I am an academic dermatologist at the University of Utah. I am currently on a two-year sabbatical working as a senior medical officer in dermatology at Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand to experience a quality national healthcare system firsthand.
As a dermatologist, my research and clinical focus has been to understand what matters most to his patients and how his patients’ skin issues affect their quality of life. This links well with my goal to help patients transition to a plant-based lifestyle. I am also keenly aware of how complicated health insurance is, and often, how patients are required to pay for more of their care and treatments out-of-pocket. I spend time trying to identify the most cost-effective care for my patients and have made this knowledge available online at medicalsecrets.com.

Read more…After graduating from medical school (University of Cologne, Germany) in 2002, I commenced my post graduate training in anaesthesiology at the Tulane University of Louisiana in New Orleans. Owed to Hurricane Katrina it was necessary to relocate and I seized the opportunity to complete my residency at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Harvard University) in Boston. My initial inclination was to pursue a career in cardiovascular and thoracic anaesthesia and underwent fellowship training at the Texas Heart Institute (Baylor College of Medicine) in Houston. For visa related reasons I returned to Europe where I trained in critical care worked in adult and paediatric cardiac anaesthesia. In 2012 we decided to move to New Zealand where I first completed another fellowship in cardiothoracic anaesthesia and critical care before I accepted a permanent position as a consultant anaesthetist in a small rural hospital in the eastern Bay of Plenty.
Only then did I look beyond my “specialist horizon” and realised that applied human nutrition holds the key to better health and a sustainable healthcare system. The classic approach to medicine will always have its place and remains the last line of defence but primary prevention and chronic disease reversal with evidence based nutrition is equally important.
In New Zealand only registered dieticians are allowed to dispense dietary advice. Hence I will only provide general education on evidence based nutrition and NOT individual dietary advice.
