About

Welcome

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.

Photo Friday: Real or Artificial Meat, NOVA Group 1 (Unprocessed), NOVA Group 4 (Ultra-processed), and the USDA Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard

We’re now in the era of diabetes reversal, why don’t more doctors know?

Thanks for Publishing my Photo, in Transportation is more than traffic: Measuring the impact of development on walkability - D.C. Policy Center

Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCPolicyCenter (with syndication to @ggwash – thank you also). It was taken in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC (of course), which I say is undergoing its third destruction – first after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., second after the drug epidemic, and the current one, referred to …

The Spoonfuls don’t carry the American Heart Association seal; The Squarefuls do. 2nd Ingredient: Cane Sugar

The Spoonfuls don't carry the American Heart Association seal; The Squarefuls do. 2nd Ingredient: Cane Sugar

The American Heart Association operates a “Heart-Check Certification” program that evaluates foods for their heart healthiness, yet a walk through a grocery store today shows that the certification program includes ultra-processed foods with a high sugar content. Pictured: “Barbara’s Multigrain Squarefuls,” #2 ingredient whole cane sugar, 47 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Confirmed that this …

This week’s photo was taken during experimentation with macro lenses and food photography. I encounter so many physicians who have never heard the term “diabetes reversal” or have misconceptions and misunderstandings about therapeutic nutrition. Tip A low-carbohydrate diet includes carbohydrates And plants And plants pre-digested by ruminants View this post on Instagram We’re now in …

Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist. I have been happy while in Washington to amass a collection of images of LGBTQ communities here.

Just Read: Cutting Carbs Curbs Kilos, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure - And Maybe Not in that Order

We’re now in the era of diabetes reversal. Why don’t more doctors know? Tip for fellow physicians: Question the statement “low carbohydrate diets work only in the short term.” Many of the often-quoted studies about diet and health are surprisingly short term. Perhaps most notably, the widely cited DASH diet [25] to lower blood pressure, …

Photo Friday: U Street, Washington, DC USA (The Future Has to Start Somewhere, it's Usually Here)

This week’s photograph was taken on Northwest U Street, in Washington, DC (of course). You can see the beautiful mural on 15th and U Street, “Touch the Sky,” by Aniekan Udofia (@Aniekanreloaded) It can easily said that U Street has hosted more civil rights history per millimeter than almost any other place in the United …

Slide Update: Few Americans are Vegetarian or Vegan, Explicit Weight Bias in Medicine Now Greater than LGBTQ, Recognition of the Authentic Human is the Best Success

I am in the 94 %. I have spent time in the 3 % or 5 % for short spans.

Metabolically healthy eating patterns can exist across 100% of the spectrum – with real food performing best and adjustments made for insulin resistance, as well as supplementation, in all categories, which can be done with medical supervision. Anything is better than the standard american diet (SAD), we know how that’s performing.

Just Read:  The Global Influence of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Diet 

This is a very well written piece in the journal Religions (Religions_MDPI) covering the title of the piece. Even if you live in the future and know where you want to go, it’s important to know where you came from. I’m posting this here for reference – I encourage people interested in the history of …
