About Root Cause Integrative Wellness

My journey into functional and naturopathic medicine began long before I officially stepped onto this path. As a traditional medical physician practicing abroad, I often found myself asking a quiet but persistent question: Why isn’t prevention emphasized more? I saw how people were placed on medications for life, how chronic conditions—especially autoimmune ones—seemed inevitable, and how little time we spent understanding why the body was reacting in the first place.

That question became personal when both I and close family members faced autoimmune challenges. We were told this was simply how it would be — that lifelong medication was the only solution. But something in me resisted that finality. I wanted to understand the deeper mechanisms, the triggers, the patterns. I wanted to know why the body was struggling and whether it could find its way back to balance.

That search led me down a lesser-known road, one that merged the science I was trained in with a new paradigm of healing. I immersed myself in biochemistry, nutrition, the microbiome, immune regulation, and the body’s stress response. I completed rigorous additional training and became board certified in naturopathic medicine and functional medicine, gaining a framework that honored both evidence and individuality.

Over time, one truth became clear: the body is rarely acting without reason. With the right support, it can often move toward healing. Through this lens, gut health emerged as a central hub — an interconnected root beneath so many symptoms involving inflammation, hormones, immunity, mood, and energy. It became the key that allowed the whole picture to finally make sense.

Today, I combine my international medical background with naturopathic and functional medicine training to help people uncover the root of their symptoms, no matter where they live. I offer both virtual and in-person care, supporting individuals across different countries who are seeking clarity, connection, and a deeper understanding of their health.

I believe every symptom has an explanation, every body has the capacity to rebalance, and every person deserves to understand why they feel the way they do.

Wherever you are on your health journey, I’m grateful you’re here — and I’m honored to walk this path with you.
