Standard preoperative appointments focus primarily on getting you "cleared" for surgery. But being cleared for an operation isn't the same as being in peak condition to heal from it.
In medicine, the entire window surrounding a surgical procedure — before, during, and after — is called the perioperative period. By bridging my background as a practicing anesthesiologist with the root-cause principles of functional medicine, I help you prepare your body well before you enter the operating room.
Optimizing your health weeks or months before a procedure helps reduce complications, naturally manage post-op pain, lower inflammation, and significantly shorten your recovery time.
The Power of an Integrated Approach
Acute Safety & Precision

A personalized roadmap tailored to your health profile and upcoming surgery.
Metabolic & Nutritional Readiness
Correcting key vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, balancing blood sugar, and supporting cellular energy (mitochondria) so your tissue can rebuild quickly.

Safeguarding your microbiome against surgical antibiotics, calming systemic inflammation, and strengthening your immune system post-op.
Natural Pain & Stress Modulation
Using targeted nutrients, lifestyle strategies, and nervous system support to reduce pain sensitivity and lower your need for heavy narcotic pain meds.
Detoxification & Rapid Tissue Repair
Supporting your liver and kidneys so your body efficiently processes anesthesia, while optimizing collagen production for faster wound healing.
