Medical Wellness and Longevity
Our practice includes treatment (and if possible reversal) of chronic medical conditions, as well as optimization of health for disease prevention and longevity. This is all done from a precision/personalized medicine perspective where each patient's goals, preferences, genetic background, lifestyle factors and medical biomarkers guide treatment plans. Mental, emotional, social and spiritual health (a sense of purpose) are also critical aspects to healthy aging.
Two foundational components of maximizing health and longevity include achieving a healthy body composition and optimizing gastrointestinal function. We address these components in detail with all patients.
Gastrointestinal Health
"All disease begins in the gut" - Hippocrates
Although not ALL diseases begins in the gut, Hippocrates was correct in principle in that the gastrointestinal tract is foundational for health. Intestinal permeability and the gut microbiome are associated with many seemingly non-connected diseases such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, autoimmune disease, neurological issues, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and others.
We treat IBS, GERD, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), SIBO and other GI disorders where conventional therapies have not achieved the desired results. We do not, however, treat Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease.
Having personal experience with gastrointestinal issues, Daniel is passionate about helping patients get to the root cause of their gastrointestinal conditions. In addition, Daniel helps all patients to optimize their gastrointestinal function and microbiome as a key components of brain health, prevention and overall well-being.
