Wellness Products & Nutritional Supplements
My mission as a healthcare provider is to enhance my patients' health and wellbeing on a daily basis.  To achieve this goal, I not only offer a wide variety of individualized treatment options, but also identify and provide the highest quality supplements and personal care products available.  All of the products selected meet the highest standards of research, development, and production, making them truly “best of class.”



NanoGreens10

Everyone knows the importance of eating lots of fruits and vegetables for maintaining health and preventing disease, but how many of us actually eat our 5 servings a day?  Did you know that the USDA just increased the recommended daily allowance to 9 servings a day, for the typical 2,000 calorie diet? 

Because of the vast health benefits of eating tons of fruits and vegetables, and because of our general difficulty getting enough high quality servings a day, I recommend a “green drink” for all my patients.  NanoGreens10 is the drink I recommend, for the following reasons:

My family and I take NanoGreens10 everyday, and love it.  It naturally boosts our energy, and helps us maintain regularity.  We think it tastes great, too… some patients heartily agree, while others feel is has a strange aftertaste.  Ask for a free sample and decide for yourself!

NanoGreens10 is only available through healthcare practitioners.

Vitamins & Supplements

Modern research is continuously proving the importance of supplementing our diets with high-quality vitamins and minerals to both maintain health and to prevent disease.  In a 2002 article published in JAMA, authors Robert H. Fletcher, MD, MSc, and Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH, concluded that "Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements." (JAMA. 2002;287:3127-3129.)  Click here for the abstract, and a link to the full article.

In learning about vitamins and supplements, what has shocked me is that the FDA does not tightly regulate this industry….  The result is that what is written on a label is rarely what is actually present in the product.  No matter what brand of supplement you choose, make sure that you are actually getting the vitamins and minerals you are paying for by checking that your brand meets the following standards:

For the convenience of my patients, I have chosen to become a distributor of the vitamins and supplements which my family and I take—USANA Health Sciences—as they are not available through retail stores.  In addition to the criteria discussed above, I believe USANA offers superior products for the following reasons:


Sensé Beautiful Science

The personal care product-line from USANA includes skincare, hair and body care products.  All pharmaceutical-grade Sensé products are thoroughly tested by dermatologists, allergists, and ophthalmologists to ensure quality and safety.  The use of three different technologies distinguishes Sensé products from others:


Other USANA Nutritional Products

In addition to high-quality vitamin and mineral supplements, USANA also offers weight management systems, low-glycemic nutritional drink mixes, and high-quality nutrition bars.
