Not in the traditional sense. I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor 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.

A licensed naturopathic doctor/physician 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 doctorate from Bastyr University, one of the leading accredited naturopathic medical schools in the country.

InArizona andWashington, NDs are licensed as primary care providers.

The short version: 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.

Two sessions over about a month. The first is a 90-minute deep intake: your history, your labs ordered, and one or two practical changes to start now. The second is a 60-minute review: your numbers in context, what they actually mean, and a clear plan built around your life. You leave with a real starting line, not a pamphlet.

Baseline is your starting line, not the finish. Most guys 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 guys 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 guys who've finished a program and want to keep a checkpoint in place. No pressure either direction. We figure out what's next after we see what the Baseline shows.

The Baseline runs about four weeks start to finish. From there, most guys move into the 3-month program, some go straight to 6-month if that's clearly where they're at. There's no obligation tied to Baseline. You can do it, get your answer, and decide from there.

I order them directly through Rupa Health, 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.

There's a flat $10 physician review fee 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.

That's one of the most common reasons guys end up here. A standard panel is a snapshot, not a full picture. We look at markers your GP isn't running and interpret everything in the context of how you actually feel, not just whether you clear a reference range.

The Baseline is $1,200. Not for "just two appointments." For finally knowing what's actually going on in your body, the real levers you've had under your nose this whole time, the risk that might be sitting there unnoticed, and one clear voice cutting through the noise of every healthfluencer telling you something different.

The 3-month program picks up from there. $2,200 from Baseline, $3,200 if you're starting fresh. Seven sessions over thirteen weeks, working through your labs, your values, and the stories you've been telling yourself about why nothing sticks, until you can actually see the difference between what's true and what's just noise in your head.

The 6-month program goes further. $5,200 from Baseline, or $2,200 more from the 3-month. This is where the work moves into your kitchen and your body, not just your head.

Here's what's well known: most men wait until "the event" before they take their health seriously. We white-knuckle, suppress, and shove our physical health out of sight, out of mind, often at the cost of our mental and emotional health too. The Baseline is one month to slow down and actually see where you're headed: a cliff, or a future where you're the kind of grandpa who can still get on the floor with his grandkids. The 3- and 6-month programs are for guys who want to secure that second version.

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 different. The Baseline is built around that same 90-minute intake and 60-minute review, and the ongoing programs keep that rhythm going: one hour every two weeks, with direct messaging in between if something comes up. Not a patient portal, not a callback from a nurse three days later. Me, knowing your file, your life, and what you're actually trying to do.

It's a real investment in yourself. And it's not concierge medicine, which runs $2,000 to $3,000 a month for comparable access. 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, priced honestly at roughly half of what that costs anywhere else.

That's the most common thing guys 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 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.

Neither. I'm a clinician, but this is a consulting relationship. The work is evidence-based and grounded in clinical assessment. Mindset and behavior come up because they're part of the clinical picture, not because I'm a coach.

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.

Most guys start with The Baseline. One month, two sessions, full lab review, a real picture of what's going on before we build anything on top of it.

If you already know your situation runs deeper, old injuries, years of neglect, more than a quick fix, you don't have to start at Baseline. We can discuss going straight into the 3-month or 6-month program during the intro call. Either way, we start with a conversation.

No. Baseline is the right starting point for most guys because it gives us real data before we build a plan. But if you already know this is bigger than a quick look, recurring injuries, years of running on empty, something that's been building for a while, we can talk about going straight into the 3-month or 6-month program instead.

The only thing that doesn't change is the conversation first. Whichever entry point makes sense, we figure that out together before anything starts.
