Not in the traditional sense. I'm a licensed naturopathic physician working as a metabolic health consultant. This is a consulting relationship, not a doctor-patient relationship. I'm not managing your prescriptions or replacing your GP. Think of it as having a doctor in your corner who actually looks at the whole picture, knows how to read it, and tells you the truth.

You're probably wondering if "naturopathic doctor" means real medical training or something less.

Fair question. A licensed naturopathic doctor completes a four-year, accredited medical program covering the same foundational sciences as conventional medicine, plus additional training in clinical nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and natural therapeutics.

I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Science from Northern Arizona University, then my doctorate at Bastyr University, one of the leading accredited naturopathic medical schools in the country. In Arizona and Washington, NDs are licensed as primary care providers.

The short version: I completed rigorous medical training with a broader lens. I'm not here to replace your conventional care. I'm here to fill the gaps it leaves.

Honestly? It's closer to coaching than most clinicians will admit. I'm working with you biweekly, in your corner, helping you build something that actually holds, not writing a script and sending you on your way.

What makes it different is the angle: I'm not a 20-year-old with a ring light and a supplement code. I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor bringing real clinical training to that relationship.

It's not therapy, and it's not medical care; that boundary doesn't move. But it is coaching, from someone who can actually read your labs and knows what they mean, doing work your GP doesn't have the time or the mandate to do.

Similar foundation, different execution.

• You won't leave with a grocery bag full of supplements and a 40-page protocol.

• The goal is clarity and the fewest effective changes, not maximum intervention.

Two sessions over about a month.

1. The first is a 90-minute deep intake: your history, your labs ordered, and one or two practical changes to start now.

2. The second is a 60-minute review: your numbers in context, what they actually mean, and a clear plan built around your life.

3. You leave with a real starting line, not a pamphlet.

Baseline is your starting line, not the finish.

• Most people move into the 3-month program from here, because two sessions is enough to know what's going on, not enough to actually shift it.

• The 6-month program exists for folks who know going in they're looking at something deeper, an old injury cycle, years of compression, more ground to cover.

• There's also a monthly subscription option for those who've finished a program and want to maintain a checkpoint.

No pressure either direction. We figure out what's worth pursuing next after we see what the Baseline shows.

The Baseline runs about four weeks start to finish. From there, some folks have what they need and run with it. Others want to keep building with ongoing coaching.

I work with people over 3 or 6 months to actually put the plan into practice.

Either way, Baseline is the cleanest starting point, not a forced commitment to anything beyond it.

I order them directly through Fullscript Labs, a lab ordering platform built for this kind of work. You'll get drawn at a lab near you, on your schedule. No GP visit required.

A flat $10 physician review fee is built into the order. Results come to both of us at the same time. If anything urgent flags, you'll get a direct call. Not a portal message, not a form letter.

One note: this lab ordering setup isn't available to clients in New York, and orders aren't eligible for insurance reimbursement.

*Fullscript acquired Rupa Health; clients familiar with Rupa Health’s lab process will recognize its format and ease immediately.

That's one of the most common reasons that people end up here in the first place.

A standard panel is a snapshot, not a full picture. We look at markers your GP is testing and a few that they aren't, and we evaluate and interpret everything in the context of how you actually feel, not just whether you fall within a reference range.

Nope. The Baseline is where people go when they're ready to actually see what's going on.

If you want to talk first, book the 20-minute call. We'll discuss your health goals, any current symptoms or concerns, and go from there. It could be Baseline, 3 months, or 6 months, depending on you.

• The Baseline: $700. One month, two sessions, full lab review, a real starting line.

• 3-Month program: $2,100. 7 sessions, 2 lab draws.

• 6-Month program: $3,700. 13 sessions, 3 lab draws.

Many folks start with The Baseline to see what is going on under the hood. Depending on their goals (health or performance), they commit to 3 or 6 months of coaching and consulting.

You've probably already spent more than this on things that didn't work: fragmented appointments, supplements nobody coordinated, advice that sounded right but didn't stick.

This is one person, one framework, looking at the whole picture. The price reflects that.
It's also deliberately not concierge medicine pricing.

You're not paying for clinic overhead or a country club membership. You're paying for someone who actually knows what's going on with you, applied to your specific situation.

That's the most common thing folks say before they realize how much they've normalized.

"Not that bad" usually means functioning well enough to keep going, not well enough to feel like yourself.

If the effort you're putting in stopped matching the results you're getting, at work, at home, in the gym, in your energy, that's worth looking at. You don't have to be in crisis to deserve a better baseline.

Most programs skip straight to telling you what to do. The problem isn't that you didn't follow through. It's that the program had no foundation in your actual situation, your actual values, or why any of it mattered to you specifically.

When life gets hard, and it will, that's what holds. A protocol without orientation is just another thing that didn't stick.

No. Insurance dictates what I can look at and how long I can spend with you. This model exists specifically to skip that.

Everything is direct pay, and you get the time and attention that actually produce a plan.

Yes. Payment is processed through Stripe, which accepts HSA and FSA cards like a regular debit card. No insurance reimbursement forms, no hassle.

I'm licensed as a naturopathic physician in Arizona and Washington. Virtual consulting is available to clients in most states. Not sure if your state qualifies? Reach out before booking.

Book the 20-minute call. No paperwork, no long-term commitment. We'll talk through what's going on and figure out whether Baseline or something more makes sense. (Or if I’m not your guy at all. That can happen, too.)

Fair, some aren't right away. No pressure to book anything. Come back when you're ready.
