My purpose when founding Wise Patient was to offer lengthy appointments and unrestricted patient-physician communication between appointments. Soon, I was having these great conversations with my patients about the power of everyday decisions regarding nutrition, fitness, and time-budgeting to improve happiness and lifespan. I knew enough about my patients’ workdays and family life that I could create a mental image of them from where it was they were messaging or calling me. More patients wanted that. More doctors wanted that. Here we are today, using a modest monthly membership fee, paid by patients or their employer, to make it financially sustainable for the clinic.   

I love the science of medicine. You’ll find I take a metabolism-centered or mental health-centered view of many medical topics. I am most passionate about longevity, heart disease, blood lipids, nutrition, exercise, time-management, weight loss, anxiety disorders, and the psychology for successful living with chronic disease.

I love my family and pursue a work-life integration that allows me to enjoy them and them to enjoy me. My wife Neala and I have 2 boys, Mo and Bowie.
