Naturopathic physician and independent researcher working at the intersection of systems science, traditional medicine, and modern neuroendocrine-immune physiology. Clinician, educator, and writer — with a focus on salutogenic medicine and botanical therapeutics.

My teaching work spans an ongoing practitioner mentorship group, a professional Substack publication, and a freely accessible archive of graduate-level lectures. The common thread is systems-based clinical reasoning — helping practitioners develop a deeper, pattern-oriented understanding of complex, multi-system presentations.

Practitioner Mentorship Group

This ongoing small-group program is designed for licensed healthcare providers — including NDs, DCs, MDs, DOs, NPs, PA-Cs, LAcs, and others — who want to deepen their clinical understanding of complex chronic illness through a systems medicine lens.

Sessions are case-based and collaborative, integrating organ-network theory, neuroendocrine-immune physiology, and traditional medical frameworks into practical clinical reasoning. Participants are encouraged to bring challenging cases and engage in shared inquiry around physiological patterns, resilience, and multi-organ dynamics.

Areas of emphasis include:

  • Systems approaches to chronic and multimorbid conditions
  • Organ-network interactions and pattern recognition
  • Integrative interpretation of labs and clinical histories
  • Traditional medical frameworks (Chinese, Ayurvedic, Anthroposophical) in dialogue with modern physiology
  • Translating systems thinking into practical treatment strategies

Writing & Publication

I write for a professional audience on Substack, where my publication explores the intersection of systems biology, traditional medicine, and integrative clinical practice. Topics include organ-network theory, neuroendocrine-immune physiology, botanical therapeutics, and salutogenic frameworks for chronic disease.

Open Educational Resources

During my seventeen years as an assistant professor at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), I created an extensive library of recorded lectures for graduate-level medical education. These cover physiology, endocrinology, pathology, biochemistry, salutogenic medicine, and integrative clinical reasoning — representing hundreds of hours of freely accessible content.

They remain available as an open resource for clinicians, students, and researchers interested in systems-oriented approaches to health.
