She attended UC Berkeley and earned her M.D. at SUNY Stony Brook, and has dual U.S. board certifications in Emergency Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine.
Practicing in NY/NJ for over 15 years, she found that nearly 80% of her Emergency Room patients were suffering from conditions due to unhealthy lifestyle choices.
Realizing that to best serve her patients, a more upstream approach was necessary and began incorporating lifestyle medicine interventions.
She then had the opportunity to move to Tokyo, Japan to work in cancer immunotherapy, and now helps patients thrive and not just survive with not only cutting edge immunotherapy treatments, but lifestyle interventions and mindset.
