A physician who kept notes.
Board-certified in internal medicine (ABIM) with advanced training in functional, aesthetic, and longevity medicine. Internal medicine residency at Mount Sinai; earlier training in anesthesia and critical care in Delhi. Across twenty-five years and more than 15,000 patients, one pattern kept repeating: clean labs beside lives that had quietly come apart. An IFBB Pro who won gold in Masters Men’s Physique and bronze in the Open division, he brings the same discipline to physique as he does to medicine.
