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.
If you don’t like the news, go make your own / the future doesn’t create itself / the future has to start somewhere and it’s usually here. Thank you David Birsen & Nadine Calderon, founders of Washington, DC based Revol Snax (@RevolSnax) and part of Washnington, DC’s Union Kitchen Accelerator (@UnionKitchenDC) for presenting at the …
Thanks for quoting me in this piece mentioned below, Portland Press Herald (@PressHerald). I agree with the sentiments of the artists (Charlie_Craggs) starting this movement – Emoji is (has become) more than just a character set. Inclusion and exclusions of significant parts of society can be reflective of bias: “Emojis are a way for the …
Thanks for publishing my photo, @GeorgetownMet. Isn’t Washington, DC beautiful? Photo by Ted Eytan. Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest: More on those snakes that shut down the library. Arrest made after string of sexual assaults in and near Georgetown. News is sl… Source: The Morning Metropolitan | The Georgetown Metropolitan
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist. It was taken near dusk in Georgetown, Washington, DC USA (of course). Rosslyn, Virginia is in the background. Enjoy. Plus, problems at the D.C.

Health and sustainability are inextricably linked. Sick humans on a healthy planet are not more sustainable than healthy humans on a sick planet. I applaud WeWork’s (@WeWork) commitment to the environment. Climate Change is a threat to human health. At the same time that meat is not being catered for corporate events, there are copious …
This is a study done using data from Kaiser Permanente, performed by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (@KPCHR), looking at the relationship between triglyceride levels and cardiovascular disease in a group of patients who had their LDL’s controlled (values of 40 to 100 mg/dl). H/T @MacroFour for the link. I believe the paper …

Thank you (again) for publishing my photograph, @LSEUSAblog, in this piece written by Michael Zills. I understand the premise, however, I can be much more efficient in expressing it, to save time: Change = Loss Love Always Wins This Century is the Best Century Might as well add these Equality Equals Health Visibility Equals Life …

New technology shows early signs of metabolic unhealth In the slide above, the challenges to glucose regulation can be …
I’ve discovered that what I do has a name – “Narrative Art” (thank you George Lucas) Every photo tells a story, I’ve been asked to tell this one (just this once…) There doesn’t seem to be an enormous mea culpa from the scientific community that we got it wrongFiona Godlee, Editor in Chief, The BMJ, …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @MSN. (I didn’t know MSN was still publishing?) In any event, I found it interesting that my photograph is the last one in the series of photographs about “100 years of military history.” This says something about legacies. Every photograph tells a story, and the placement of this one tells …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @ggwash. This photo was taken on a very unseasonably warm evening, the night before the inauguration of President Barack Obama, in January, 2013. In the intervening year I became fascinated by alternate modes of transportation, and learned, incidentally, how the standards of pavement markings are set, and sometimes not set …
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
