Autoimmune & Lyme Disease Recovery
Autoimmune or Lyme Symptoms? You Don't Have to Keep Living Like This.
Root-cause Naturopathic care for people with autoimmune disease and/or Lyme disease, who are looking to restore their energy, mental clarity, and physical function — through the D.E.R.N.A.M. Healing Method.
It's "just stress" isn't an answer. Something really may be happening in your body.
Many people have been told your labs look normal. That it's anxiety. That you should sleep more and try to relax. Meanwhile, you may be pushing through each day on fumes, losing your words mid-sentence, experiencing lightheadedness and/or dizziness, strange aches and pains that comes and goes or keeps moving after time around your body. And, you keep wondering when when will things turn back to normal.
Many people who experience these type of symptoms aren't just imaging it. This is something understand on a personal level because I been there too. I spent years being misdiagnosed before I learned what was actually driving my own symptoms — and that experience is exactly why I approach this work differently today.

I became the doctor I needed.
In my twenties I developed an autoimmune condition immediately after getting the Hepatitis B vaccine for occupational safety reasons while working as an EMT. During those early years, I quickly learned that conventional medicine had no real answers for me. Fortunately, in the middle of my own struggles, I became aware of Naturopathic medicine, and it helped me get my life back.
My health journey didn't stop there. Years later, I became infected with Lyme disease and several of its associated co-infections, but this diagnosis didn't come easily. I was sent from doctor to doctor, with no one giving me a real answer for why I felt so bad. That's when I had to take my health into my own hands, and once again, Naturopathic medicine gave me my life back. Now, I share everything I learned from my own experience to help treat and restore my patients' health.
In Their Words

"The most compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable doctor I have ever known. He's treating a stomach condition I'd had for four years, after four gastroenterologists couldn't help."
