What we work on
Six areas. One plan.
Sleep changes blood sugar. Stress changes hormones. The gut changes what reaches your cells. These areas are not separate, so I read them together and build one plan that connects them.

How I work
Measure. Compare. Balance.
Measure
What matters for you, and only tests whose answer would change what we do.
Compare
Your results against optimal ranges, not only the lab's normal range.
Balance
Foundations first, then the gentlest effective option, one change at a time.
The six areas
What we work on together.
Sleep & circadian rhythm
Timing, light, rest and repair
Sleep is when your body repairs and resets. When it is off, I look for why before reaching for a sleep aid.
What I look at
Your sleep and wake times, light, caffeine and alcohol, related labs (thyroid, iron, cortisol, hormones), and wearable trends over weeks.
How it connects
Blood sugar, hormones, recovery and appetite all follow sleep.
Nutrition & digestive health
What you eat, and how you digest it
Not a diet. A way of eating built around your labs, your goals, and the life you actually live.
What I look at
A normal day of eating, protein and fiber, alcohol, lipids and blood sugar markers, key nutrients, and a glucose monitor for a few weeks when useful. For digestion: your symptoms, and a stool test you collect at home when the answer would change the plan.
How it connects
Cardiometabolic health, muscle, hormones and sleep.
Movement & fitness
Strength, cardio and mobility
Strength, fitness and mobility are what let you keep doing what you love for decades. We build the right mix for your age, goals and joints.
What I look at
What you do now, injuries, recovery, resting heart rate and HRV, and DEXA and VO2max testing when a fitness assessment is of interest.
How it connects
Muscle is a major user of blood sugar, and training has to match recovery.
Stress & recovery
How your body handles load
Your stress system is built for short bursts. When it runs all the time, it shows up in sleep, energy, digestion and mood.
What I look at
What is on your plate, how you wind down, cortisol and thyroid markers, and HRV and resting heart rate trends.
How it connects
Sleep, hormones, blood sugar and the gut.
Hormone & sexual health
Energy, muscle, mood, sleep
Hormones are the body’s messaging system. We look closely when the symptoms and the labs point there, and treat when it is indicated.
What I look at
Symptoms and history, a full hormone and thyroid panel read together, and what sits upstream: sleep, stress, body fat and alcohol.
How it connects
Sleep, metabolism, muscle and stress.
Cardiometabolic health
Heart, blood pressure, blood sugar, lipids
Changes in blood sugar and blood fats start years before a standard lab flags a disease. We look early and read the numbers together.
What I look at
Fasting insulin and glucose, HbA1c, ApoB and lipid particles, Lp(a), inflammation, body composition, and heart imaging when risk calls for it.
How it connects
Sleep, stress, movement, nutrition and hormones all shape it.
One marker is a clue. Three markers are a story.
I look for patterns across your history, labs and data, not single numbers.
What I look at
Testing, when the answer would change the plan.
Testing is individualized and optional: at cost, no markup. You see it before you decide.
Metabolomics
How your cells are running right now: energy, nutrients, and brain chemistry.
