Beyond the Scale: Finding the Root Cause of Chronic Disease

As a physician, my journey into medicine was deeply rooted in a desire to combine the analytical rigor of science with the profound impact of human connection. The world of medicine, ever-evolving and constantly challenging, offered a unique opportunity to apply knowledge in a way that genuinely improves lives. Yet, early in my career, I realized that simply treating illness wasn't enough. I yearned to empower my patients, not just to recover from sickness, but to prevent it, to truly live healthier, more vibrant lives. This led me to the specialized field of obesity and lifestyle medicine, a path that has since redefined my understanding of health and healing.
