Why I Wrote This Book
I've spent 25 years as a doctor, but I've also spent years as a patient—and that dual perspective changed everything.
When I got sick in my 20s, I was bounced from specialist to specialist. I was tested for everything from Giardia to a brain tumor. I was prescribed medications while simultaneously being told "everything looks normal"—yet I knew something was very wrong.
I felt dismissed, misunderstood, and powerless. I yearned for someone to trust—someone who would actually listen and guide me through the uncertainty, not just order another test.
When I finally got the care I needed during medical school, I realized: The system isn't designed to empower patients. It's designed to process them.
I wrote Beyond the Prescription to change that—to give you the roadmap I wish I'd had, and the one I give my patients every day.
What You'll Learn in the Book
In Beyond the Prescription, I'll walk you through a proven roadmap to reclaim agency over your health. You'll learn:
How to redefine health on your own terms—not the algorithm's, not the influencer's, not the insurance company's
A framework for seeing your complete health ecosystem that refuses the false choice between conventional medicine and holistic wellness
How to understand your own patterns as a patient and leverage your strengths while addressing your blind spots
How to navigate the medical system, ask better questions, find trusted guides, and get the care you actually need
How to make peace with uncertainty and focus your energy where it truly matters
This isn't theory. It's the exact process I use with my patients every day—and now I'm giving it to you.
