FUNCTIONAL & HORMONE MEDICINE FOR MEN AND WOMEN

I help women and men uncover the root causes of hormonal imbalances using functional medicine tools like hormone, metabolic, and gut testing. Together, we create personalized treatment plans that support energy, mood, metabolism, and long-term well-being.

• Women in their 20s–30s struggling with PCOS, fertility, thyroid, or weight
• Women in their 40s managing perimenopause symptoms like fatigue, sleep issues, and irregular cycles
• Women in their 50s+ seeking relief from menopause symptoms such as low energy, mood changes, joint pain, and weight challenges
• Women frustrated with conventional care and seeking root-cause, functional medicine solutions
• Men experiencing low testosterone, fatigue, low energy, brain fog, or weight gain, and looking to optimize hormones and overall health
• I see patients and prescribe in the following states: NV, CA, AZ, PA. If you are not located in these states and need general guidance about menopause you can go to the Menopause Society at menopause.org to get a list of providers in your state.

If you are interested in becoming a patient, please contact Northern Nevada HOPES to establish care with me as your PCP.

HOPES accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most PPO insurance plans. A sliding-scale option is also available for patients who are uninsured.

I am a board-certified holistic family physician with 24 years of experience. I completed my medical degree at MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA, and my residency in family medicine through the USAF National Capital Consortium. I served as a family physician and flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force for eight years and am a proud combat veteran.

After leaving the military—fatigued from both years of service and the effects of hypothyroidism—I became deeply interested in more integrative approaches to healing. This personal journey led me to study both functional and Ayurvedic medicine. I trained for four years at the California College of Ayurvedic Medicine, becoming a Certified Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist. In addition, I have pursued training through the Institute for Functional Medicine and am completing advanced study in Dr. Aviva Romm’s Functional & Integrative Medicine Training Program.

Since 2009, I have also practiced yoga & meditation, which continues to influence my approach to healing and wellness.

In working with patients, I aim to meet each person where they are. I believe the most effective path to healing is often the most elegant—one that avoids unnecessary complexity, excessive testing, or prescribing large amounts of supplements. My approach is simple, supportive, and rooted in a blend of ancient wisdom and modern science.
