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.
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist.

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 …

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.

Here’s a good quote describing the ongoing dissonance and tension between the last century and this one:
