For over 25 years, I have been a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist in Atlanta. Over the years, my personal journey for improved health and disease recovery led to practicing a whole-food plant-based, no oil eating style in 2021. Finding dramatic health benefits, I became increasingly interested in helping people achieve and sustain changes in their lifestyle to improve their health. Following my retirement from clinical psychiatric practice in 2023, I became board certified in Lifestyle Medicine. Partnering with our existing program, Kinetik Focus, we are launching Kinetik Health which focuses not only on education regarding the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, but also provides skills for behavioral change, accountability, coaching and community support to make the necessary changes for improved health.
