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.

But please no personal …
This is a very helpful study which establishes via a good protocol that people on low-carbohydrate diets can experience a significant rise in their cholesterol levels. Across a population, there may not be a significant rise of LDL cholesterol on average. However, at the individual level, there may be changes that significantly concern patients and …
Conflict of Interest continues to be a significant challenge in the medical profession, and has really become a huge issue/problem especially in the nutrition space. I’ve decided to create a separate page on this site to declare mine (or lack thereof). This post is about that update plus several examples below from well known organizations …

Thank you for publishing my photograph, @Washingtoninan. It’s of newly elected ANC Commissioner Monika Nemeth (@TheMonikaNemeth), who just made history, as the article mentions. The photograph is from her first run last year, when she asked me to take photographs of her in and around the neighborhood she serves (ANC3F). We knew she was going …
Greetings from the most inclusive city in the 🌎, the place I can’t believe I get to be in most days. In the last century they used to say this about another state in the United States, in this century, it’s as DC goes, go goes the nation. Enjoy the photos.
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @MsMagazine. It was taken at the steps of the Supreme Court in June, 2018, in a scene I can best describe as “eery.” You can see the rest of the photographs to see what I’m talking about. Much is at risk in the age of Trump, from reproductive rights …
I don’t know how this happens – I guess the news just builds up and I’m compelled to ask to be on Casey Quinlan’s (@MightyCasey) podcast 🙂 . This time I couldn’t resist. Huge News She informed me that she’s dropped 30 pounds and reversed her prediabetes. With diet (Low carbohydrate, healthy fat to be …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @Jerusalem_Post. Interestingly, I noticed the phenomena (and challenge) of the electric bike in Israel when I was there 2 years ago.

Thank you for publishing my photograph, @ggwash. As stated, it’s from the Trinidad neighborhood of Washington, DC. As always, I enjoy learning more about my photographs after I take them. Enjoy. A long-forgotten railway and a brickyard may be behind Trinidad’s diagonal street grid. Thousands of DC students had trouble getting to school due to issues …
This paper, written by european researchers, describes a newer way to estimate insulin sensitivity (or it’s unhealthy opposite, insulin resistance) using commonly obtained lab values. Here’s the equation they came up with: The novel formula for SPISE was computed as follows: SPISE = 600 X HDL-0.185/(TG0.2 x BMI1.338, with fasting HDL-C (mg/dL), fasting TG concentrations …
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.
