Bio

From the bedside to the blueprint.

I am a board-certified Internal Medicine physician with specialized expertise in Obesity Medicine and Hypertension, focused on improving metabolic health and preventing chronic disease at scale. My clinical experience spans the full spectrum — from managing critically ill patients with advanced conditions such as heart failure, cirrhosis, and coronary artery disease, to helping individuals reverse early metabolic dysfunction through proactive, evidence-based care.

Through years of frontline hospital medicine, I have witnessed the profound impact of uncontrolled hypertension, obesity, and insulin resistance on long-term health outcomes. This has driven my mission to shift healthcare from reactive treatment to preventive, personalized, and root-cause–focused care.

"Prevent disease before it begins — rather than treat it after it progresses."

Beyond the clinic

In addition to clinical practice, I am actively involved in medical education and research. I enjoy mentoring physicians and residents, developing educational content, and contributing to advancements in preventive and cardiovascular medicine. I am also building scalable health initiatives aimed at improving population health through sustainable lifestyle transformation.

My long-term vision is to create a healthcare ecosystem that empowers individuals to take control of their metabolic health — preventing disease before it begins, rather than treating it after it progresses.
