Areas of clinical interest

Both fatigue and metabolic issues can be caused by a myriad of factors. Getting to the root of both issues involves understanding the connection between the adrenals (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-axis)liverthyroidreproductive hormonesdigestive functionmitochondrial function and metabolic functionas well as determining nutrient insufficiencies which often aren't shown on blood tests (this is because the body will pull nutrients out of other tissues and organs to keep blood levels within range).  Stressof courseis also a major factor. Hence I teach lifestyle strategies as well as mindfulness and positive psychology to help manage stressalong with prescribing adaptogenic herbs to help improve energy and resilience by nourishing and rebalancing the HPA axis and calming the sympathetic nervous system.
