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 using my photograph to illustrate this illuminating piece by @alon_levy, @DCPolicyCenter. The photograph itself was taken several cameras ago in 2012, from Arlington, Virginia, facing Washington, DC. I went back and saw what else I was capturing that day, which included a novel public art piece at Arlington’s Freedom Park, entitled “Spectrum …
Thanks for using my photograph to illustrate this story, @Skift. The photograph was taken a little over a year ago in Washington, DC. The U.S. Supreme Court appeared poised to uphold President Donald Trump’s travel ban as key justices used an argument session to aim skeptical questions at a lawyer challenging the policy. Hearing the …
This is a piece written about the upcoming Canada Food Guide, which is Canada’s version of the United States dietary guidelines, and concerns about food industry influence. The article is paywalled, however this response from Dr’s Carol Loffelmann (@KetoAnaesMD) and Barbra Allen Bradshaw is available to review, and I recommend it as a counterpoint to …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @UrbanTurf_DC It’s of the Carter G. Woodson National Historic Site (@WoodsonNHS), which I posted about here: Photo Friday: Carter G. Woodson National Historic Site, Washington, DC USA – More leadership in a world that doesn’t want you to lead This neighborhood, which housed so many people who shaped our country …
Thank you for using my photographs to illustrate this piece on the impact of policies that promote segregation in our communities. I presume these photos from my collection have been chosen because they illustrate micro-segregation.
Thanks for publishing my photo, @ggwash. It was taken at this week’s Vigil to End Violence, in Washington, DC. I’ll post more photos from that event soon. Here are a few of our favorite colorful images submitted to the Greater and Lesser Washington Flickr pool, showcasing the best (and sometimes the worst) of urbanism in …
This paper is just now starting to receive some discussion online, however, it came to me via the alerts service of my medical specialty society, the American Academy of Family Physicians (@AAFP). This is a link to the actual brief, which caught my eye because of three things: Insulin Resistance NAFLD Red Meat Israeli researchers …
This paper is lengthy and well covered throughout the social media sphere, so I won’t repeat what’s already been said.
A few things haven’t been said that I’m commenting on:
1. Significant Increases in Fasting Blood Glucose and Current Dietary Recommendations
2. Diabetes is increased, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is unaccounted for
3. Continued misconceptions about Washington DC as a high sociodemographic index (SDI) future-State
I have been using this expression a lot lately, and then it turned up on this sign. The other side of the sign appeals to me as well 🙂 . Rest of the photos below. #ScienceMarchDC #theta360 – Spherical Image – RICOH THETA
As I’ve written here previously, the condition of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has seemed to come out of nowhere, is still creating confusion within the medical profession, and is continuing to grow in prevalence. It’s a follow-up to a previous post here, see: Just Read: Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease-Meta-analytic assessment of …
Thanks (again) for using one of my photographs, @DCPolicyCenter. I love all of the education I receive via the photographs I take, long after they are taken. This photograph used to adorn this post about a recent @KojoShow on the topic of DC’s housing stock, which is well worth a listen if you’re interested in …
Thanks again for publishing my photograph, @ggwash. It was taken on my morning commute, via #ActiveTransportation (of course) Here are a few of our favorite colorful images submitted to the Greater and Lesser Washington Flickr pool, showcasing the best (and sometimes the worst) of urbanism in the greater Washington region.

I am now getting ready for @Ketofest 2018, aka what happens when an entire town is converted to a #DiabtesReversal #MetabolicHealth lifestyle. Plus I need to increase my library of #LCHF dishes
I have one more paper I’d like to read to complete a series I wrote about regarding non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
There’s a paper I’ve read about NAFLD whose conclusions and scientific approach I seriously question, just checking my suspicions out with other physicians before I a review.
It’s this one – Zelber-Sagi S, Ivancovsky-Wajcman D, Fliss Isakov N, Webb M, Orenstein D, Shibolet O, et al. High red and processed meat consumption is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance. J Hepatol [Internet]. 2018 Mar [cited 2018 Mar 21]; Available from: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0168827818300588.
