From Patient to Healer — A Journey of Transformation

My Journey

Every healer has a story. Mine began with my own struggle with chronic illness.

2004

The Beginning

Early martial arts training

Started training martial arts in 1991. In 2004 I started my journey studying traditional Eastern medicine, qi gong, and various holistic healing modalities.

At this point in time, I already have 15 years of martial arts training and I also opened my first dojo with my instructor. I began teaching martial arts professionally to pro and amateur fighters, first responders and kids.

Almost Died

Struggling with chronic illness

Began struggling with a debilitating chronic illness that left me disabled for over a year. I had severe fatigue, depression, carpal tunnel, hot flashes, chills, tendonitis, systemic joint pain, crippling neck and back pain. I couldn’t train and couldn’t work. I hit rock bottom and lost everything. My condo, my girlfriend, and my business all evaporated before my eyes.

I saw over a dozen doctors and specialists. 3 different neurologists, 2 hand surgeons that wanted to operate, orthopedics, multiple visits to the endocrinologist with biopsies of my thyroid, physical therapy, cortisone shots, and my primary. They all told me things like, “everything was normal”, “its all in my head”, and did nothing but offer me drugs like pain killers and muscle relaxers. Some of them even laughed at me. I felt broken and disrespected, with no hope of a future.

The Rebirth

Recovery and mentorship

I was on the verge of giving up and ready to call it quits, when one of my mentors, a brilliant nutritional formulator, the late Reid Eckert, saved my life. After walking into his vitamin shop on a fateful afternoon, he confidently told me he knew what was wrong and that he could ‘fix’ me.

After all the specialists had failed me, I had no faith. But at this point, I had nothing else to lose and life wasn’t even worth living anymore. Yet sure enough, within a few weeks under his guidance I was starting to feel better, and within 6-8 months I was nearly 100% healed.

Medical Training

Frustrated at the horrific state of our health care system—and not understanding why a young, insured, previously healthy athlete couldn’t get relief—it felt like a calling from God. I now had a divine mission. I swore to dedicate the rest of my life to helping others in similar situations. I went back to school to finish my doctorate and pursue functional medicine training.

2017

Practice Launch

Worldfest event

I began my integrative Medicine practice focusing on root‑cause healing in a storage closet of a physical therapy office where my mother worked as an occupational therapist for over 25 years.

First clinic practice

As demand grew, it was time to upgrade so I could help more people. I moved into my own space and transitioned from a single room shop to a 4‑room clinic.

2022

We’re Growing!

Partnership and new longevity center

My brother—a double board‑certified internal medicine and obesity medicine hospitalist—became increasingly fed up with the status quo. He pivoted into longevity medicine, hormone optimization, peptides, and medical weight loss. We partnered to open a longevity center in Boca Raton.
