I am a doctor. I spent twenty-five years practicing clinical medicine. I am double-boarded in obesity medicine and obstetrics and gynecology. I know it’s cliche, but I love helping people. I love walking alongside people as they navigate this messy, imperfect world.
I am an entrepreneur – a builder. When I see a space and I can do something to fill it with something necessary and beautiful, I just can’t help myself.
I am a speaker. I love talking about the things I’m passionate about. I love sharing my knowledge with others. I love watching people’s faces light up as they learn new concepts and integrate them into their mental framework.
I am a thought leader – and a bit of a disruptor. I was practicing obesity medicine long before GLP-1s exploded on social media and have been using these medications in my clinical practice for many years – safely, ethically, and responsibly – as part of a comprehensive strategy. I am constantly fighting against narratives created by big pharma and big insurance – narratives designed to capitalize on people living with excess weight – a vulnerable population that has been through enough.
I am a consultant. I love applying my knowledge and experience to industries outside of traditional healthcare. I am a voracious reader and I cast a wide net, learning from people in all disciplines – even those I disagree with. I love pulling concepts and frameworks together and connecting the dots. I believe we are so much stronger when we collaborate and put our brains together!
I am a coach. I love helping high-functioning women (especially women physicians) dig deep into themselves to find their way forward in midlife – during the phase I like to refer to as “the messy middle.”
