As a healthcare provider, I understand the importance of courage in advocating for my patients, embracing new medical approaches, and pursuing ongoing education. My commitment to functional and lifestyle medicine demonstrates my courage to step beyond traditional care models and explore innovative, holistic methods for restoring health. I am unafraid to challenge conventional approaches if it means improving outcomes for my patients.
