Although I have a lot of research and academic experience, I have left conventional academic pursuits, publications in 'prestigious' journals, or a career in academia. This is because I have no respect for these institutions, and have realised that most of the research that is published is tainted in favour of greater corporate interests. The world of academia is corrupted by money, and the 'Science' is where the money is. However, I am still a curious person by nature, so I do read a lot of research, and I am constantly learning. Most of the research produced by the Pharmaceutical Industry is dodgy, to say the least. I do not care about having my name in a journal, so I will be publishing most of my research on this website or my LinkedIn. I am open to criticism and I love questioning everything I believe, because that is real Science. After being a high-achiever for many years, I have completely abandoned traditional ideas of 'success'.

Personal Experience:

• Have manged to completely reverse a decade of chronic illness including IBS-C, Endometriosis, Binge Eating Disorder, Hypothyroidism, Depression using a holistic lifestyle. I have spoken about this elsewhere.

Patient Feedback:

• 'You are the best doctor I have ever met in my life - so thorough, and compassionate' - 82 year old patient I met in clinic.
  
  
• 'Thank you for listening to me and believing me - you're an amazing doctor' - A 35 year old Endometriosis patient who was gaslighted by the entire medical team and told her symptoms were in her head, whose MRI report was 'normal' but when I had a 2nd look I noted it was not.
  
  
• 'Thank you for caring for my father during his last days, you're the only doctor I've met who actually listens and cares' - Son of an 85 year old dementia patient I cared for in the hospital.
  
  
• ' You're a good one - that's rare' - Patient's family I met in A+E.

If you want to work with me, here is my philosophy.

• I offer personalised advise based on my research and experience, and a holistic assessment of your health issues, analysis of lab reports, further testing, and a holistic management plan.
  
  
• I do not have a traditional patriarchal approach to Medicine wherein I claim to know everything, and that you must obey what I say. I am passionate about informed consent, and thoroughly explaining and understanding your health issues with you. I am very happy to do research on particular topics, or direct you to resources where I might not be knowledgeable. I am very good at research and lateral thinking, and I always think of things from an evolutionary perspective. I believe you are your own healer. The body is an intelligent work of evolution. I do not consider myself an expert on anything. Science is a humbling endeavour, and patient education is my utmost passion.
  
  
• I am extremely holistic. I will address things such as diet & fasting, physical activity, sleep and circadian hygiene first; I will recommend supplements if needed. But there is no health within individualism and capitalism.
  
  There is no health without community, purpose and belonging. Trauma from the childhood, Trauma from the day to day of living within civilization & capitalism, Ancestral trauma, Species Isolation and Disconnection from the Land are going to cause disease. 
  
  Be willing to have an open mind, and be ready to question everything you believe!
  
  
• One Size does not fit all, therefore trial-and-error is a must in order to find what treatment plan works for you. This means that it might take a while for the interventions to work.
  
  
• I can explain side effects of medications and provide medical opinions on what drugs I recommend for you to continue/not continue, and can discuss the real medical research and risk/benefit analysis with you, along with my clinical experience.
  
  
• I will not judge you at all, and will listen to you with an open mind. I am here to understand you, help you and provide you support and reassurance. I know first hand what it's like to experience medical gaslighting.
