About

Welcome

I am a physician, a family medicine specialist with a focus on total health, diversity, and Washington, DC.

In 2007, I decided to relocate to our nation’s capital, from Seattle, Washington, to further my interests while continuing to live in the future. I believe in open leadership, sharing, and freedom from conflict of interest.

This week’s photographs were taken at Glenstone, a whimsical and biophilic place not far from Washington, DC, as well as a photographic cornucopia. There are also very powerful sights and sounds that photography cannot convey. We’re grateful for the gift that this museum is to our community. Enjoy.

Just Read: Carbon footprint of the global pharmaceutical industry – “Significantly worse than the automotive industry”

Just Read: Carbon footprint of the global pharmaceutical industry - “Significantly worse than the automotive industry”

I was highly interested in reading this paper because I have informally worked to understand the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the pharmaceutical industry through their own web sites, and usually leave confused and uninformed. Apparently, it’s not just me. This analysis includes the use of datasets that are not publicly available for the major …

Just Read: Defending Beef – Unlearning and Relearning the Sustainable Diet

Just Read: Defending Beef - Unlearning and Relearning the Sustainable Diet

Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Why? It covers a topic I know very little about, how our food is produced.

Part 10: Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor as a non-diabetic Physician: Impact of a (mostly) meat diet; Learning about the lives of people with diabetes

Part 10: Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor as a non-diabetic Physician: Impact of a (mostly) meat diet; Learning about the lives of people with diabetes

The numbers above and below are continuous glucose monitor measurements while eating a (mostly) meat diet for a few weeks. As the images show (and people seem to forget…), meat includes fish. As predicted, the numbers are normal, and very stable, given meat’s glycemic index = 0. I would say they are more stable than …
