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. It’s of a less-developed 14th Street, NW, a few cameras ago, a few photographic techniques-learned-ago, when I realized the street was going to change dramatically and best to document it when I did (2012). Sorry for the passing of Taylor Gourmet – it was cherished by Washington, DC, …

The next one, about the data. Disclaimer/Caveats It’s possible/highly likely that some of my …
The most memorable quote from the evening was from Joe Biden’s father to a young Joe Biden on seeing two men embrace each other: “It’s simple, they love each other.” Isn’t this century great? Enjoy the photos. All are @CreativeCommons licensed as usual.
Thanks for publishing my photograph @ggwash. It was taken in Washington, DC (of course), on a special evening, when the cranes in the air were choreographed to music. Several notable Washington, DC people were present enjoying the dance: Enjoy. The District has made substantial investments in affordable housing in recent years, though levels are still …
Answer: No. This is true across multiple venues and pieces of scholarship.

I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic (at least I didn’t think so). Or hypertensive. Or overweight (however, I am a formerly fat person). And I decided to wear a continuous glucose monitor (see photograph above). Why? I have been learning more about diabetes prevention & reversal (something that was never taught to us in the …
This is an excellent review paper recommended to me by Mark Cucuzzella, MD, that demystifies a lot of what we were never taught about fat in the diet. As I mentioned previously on this blog multiple times, saturated fat has been exonerated multiple times in recent months, most dramatically in this exchange at Food for …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DailyFreePress, in this review of Troye Sivan’s new album. I’m delighted to see these images receiving more visibility since they were taken at Washington, DC’s @CapitalPrideDC. Just like Troye himself, helping the LGBTQ be visible through his work. 👍 Isn’t this century awesome? Source: REVIEW: Troye Sivan releases ‘Bloom,’ explores …
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist. The photograph was taken in Washington, DC (of course) in the Logan Circle Neighborhood, where it’s clear the 🌎 is learning to ❤️ better. All we need to add to this completeness is a transgender pride flag emoji. Plus, here’s what Amazon would really do to D.C., Old …

The last day of the sensor is in 1 day. I’ll be …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @ggwash. It’s of the view of Church Street, NW, from the iconic @WhitmanWalker health building on 14th Street, NW. Enjoy. I’m a DC resident who has recently become interested in a career in urban planning. As I’ve begun researching grad schools, I’ve realized I need to become more plugged 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.
