Obesity medicine, metabolic health and menopause care, practiced entirely through telemedicine.
I am board certified in Family Medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine and in Obesity Medicine by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, with menopause training through The Menopause Society. I am licensed in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and Guam, and I have completed more than 100,000 virtual consultations across seven years of virtual practice.
I write here for patients and for clinicians, translating current evidence into something you can actually use. Everything is sourced. When the evidence moves, I go back and correct what I wrote rather than leaving it standing.

Where to start
Weight Loss and Metabolic Health
GLP-1 therapy, anti-obesity medication, plateaus, side effects, muscle loss and what these drugs actually cost.
Menopause & Women’s Health
Hormone therapy after the black box warning, symptom evaluation, and the cardiometabolic changes that arrive with menopause and get blamed on ordinary aging.
Telemedicine: How Virtual Care Actually Works
What a video visit handles well, what it cannot do, and when you need to be seen in person instead.
If you are not sure where to begin, the Start here page lists the current work by subject.
The older archive
Some of what is on this site goes back to 2010, written out of urgent care and wilderness medicine practice. Rashes, burns, abscesses, tick bites, sore throats. I keep those posts deliberately rather than deleting them, because people still search for them and still find them useful.
I review them against current guidance and correct them when the evidence has moved, with a dated note saying exactly what changed. A post from 2012 is a record of what was true in 2012, and where that is no longer good advice, it now says so.
