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.
More detail, including my official bio, is on the Portfolio page.

I agree with the points made and have posted examples of American media bias in several well known outlets (cough @USAToday, @NPR see- Thanks for publishing my …
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist. It’s of one of the most iconic views in Washington, DC, these days, of a most special place, the National Museum of African American History and Culture (@NMAAHC), taken with a borrowed fancy camera. Enjoy. More than 80 movies by and about African Americans will be screened in …
As I mentioned in part 6 of this series, for a person without known diabetes/prediabetes, the readings from a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) are going to mostly be flat (the incredible ability of our bodies to regulate themselves). As other research has shown (see: Just Read: New Insights into Glucose Dysregulation from Continuous Glucose Monitoring …
As I mentioned in part 1 of this series, a significant reason for me wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) was to understand (a very small portion) what it might be like to have diabetes. I will never fully understand what it is like to have diabetes, and I know that. I do understand what …

Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist. It was taken during one of my (or my) favorite event in Washington, the annual high heel race.This photograph features our current Mayor Muriel Bowser (@MayorBowser). Enjoy.

Thanks for publishing my photograph, @ggwash. It was taken in 2014, several cameras ago, at probably the very first DC Funk Parade (@FunkParade) Win money for an app focused city mobility and the environment, hear how to make commutes sustainable at GGWash’s panel, learn about changes to Bethesda’s bikeways, sit down at the green business roundtable, …
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist. It’s of the upcoming The Meatball Shop (@Meatballers) coming to 14th Street Northwest, Washington, DC. Metabolic health is “in.” Plus, this is how much area university presidents make, there may still be slowing on the Red Line, and more news. Source: Morning Roundup: Metro Inspector Gets Job Back …

I have been analyzing data from the Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) experience I’ve been having (see these posts for more: Why I decided to wear a continuous glucose monitor as a non-diabetic physician , and Part 2: Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor as a non-diabetic Physician: The Experience) and I had run into a problem …
Thank you for publishing my photos in this wonderful essay about placemaking, by (now book) author Clara Cecil. I love the meaning attached to something that I do every day without thinking about it: Ted, an avid photographer, decided to start taking a picture every day on the way to work to capture a physical …
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.
