Wellness Values:
-
The quality of our food matters. This is why I am dedicated to educating patients about the value of farmer’s markets and eating locally-grown foods.
-
Preventing disease starts with what we put (or do not put) into our bodies.
-
Nutritional choices are a building block on our way back to good health.
