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.

What is metabolic health for if it can’t be enjoyed 🙂 . This photograph was taken from the air (obviously), in one of the few, and most beautiful places in the United States, from which to do such a thing legally. Enjoy the view.
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCPolicyCenter (with syndication to @ggwash – thank you also). It was taken in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC (of course), which I say is undergoing its third destruction – first after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., second after the drug epidemic, and the current one, referred to …
The American Heart Association operates a “Heart-Check Certification” program that evaluates foods for their heart healthiness, yet a walk through a grocery store today shows that the certification program includes ultra-processed foods with a high sugar content. Pictured: “Barbara’s Multigrain Squarefuls,” #2 ingredient whole cane sugar, 47 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Confirmed that this …
This week’s photo was taken during experimentation with macro lenses and food photography. I encounter so many physicians who have never heard the term “diabetes reversal” or have misconceptions and misunderstandings about therapeutic nutrition. Tip A low-carbohydrate diet includes carbohydrates And plants And plants pre-digested by ruminants View this post on Instagram We’re now in …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist. I have been happy while in Washington to amass a collection of images of LGBTQ communities here. One day I will create a coffee table book… Enjoy the photo. The gay nightclub had legions of devoted fans and partiers before it closed last summer. Source: Town Danceboutique Might Make …
We’re now in the era of diabetes reversal. Why don’t more doctors know? Tip for fellow physicians: Question the statement “low carbohydrate diets work only in the short term.” Many of the often-quoted studies about diet and health are surprisingly short term. Perhaps most notably, the widely cited DASH diet [25] to lower blood pressure, …
This week’s photograph was taken on Northwest U Street, in Washington, DC (of course). You can see the beautiful mural on 15th and U Street, “Touch the Sky,” by Aniekan Udofia (@Aniekanreloaded) It can easily said that U Street has hosted more civil rights history per millimeter than almost any other place in the United …
I am in the 94 %. I have spent time in the 3 % or 5 % for short spans.
Metabolically healthy eating patterns can exist across 100% of the spectrum – with real food performing best and adjustments made for insulin resistance, as well as supplementation, in all categories, which can be done with medical supervision. Anything is better than the standard american diet (SAD), we know how that’s performing.
This is a very well written piece in the journal Religions (Religions_MDPI) covering the title of the piece. Even if you live in the future and know where you want to go, it’s important to know where you came from. I’m posting this here for reference – I encourage people interested in the history of …
Climate change is a threat to human health. This week’s photograph was taken in Washington, DC (of course). The photograph below is the impact on my blood sugar levels of this glycemic index 0 meal (I skipped the sauce) What is the/my Sustainable Diet? I don’t have an answer to this question. And, I would …
This paper, by Cucuzzella et. al (of all the authors Adele Hite, PhD RD is on Twitter – @ahhite) is a nice review of what’s known about standards of care for initiating low carbohydrate nutrition, especially in the inpatient setting. The appendices also include provider/physician handouts, patient handouts, and a deprescribing guide (since medications usually …
Last evening was the annual Washington, DC Capital TransPride (@DCTransPride365) rewind, held a few months out from the TransPride celebration as a review and planning for next year. 2019 marks my 7th Capital TransPride attendance. It marks my first participation as a Capital Pride (@CapitalPrideDC) photographer – the best photographs are ones of humans in …
Here’s a good quote describing the ongoing dissonance and tension between the last century and this one:
It is interesting that the ADA recommends eating starches and sugars and then the simultaneous use of acarbose to prevent their digestion.

Speaking of the future, if you don’t like it, just create a new one
