A Letter from the Founder

Most people don’t lack access to health information.

They lack clarity.

We live in an era of unprecedented data—labs on demand, wearables on every wrist, protocols and opinions delivered daily to our phones. Knowledge has never been more available. And yet, meaningful health outcomes remain elusive for many people who are intelligent, capable, and deeply invested in the lives they are building.

That tension is not accidental.

Information without context creates noise.
Action without strategy creates exhaustion.
And medicine without continuity rarely creates trust.

Cultivate Health was built in response to that reality.

My medical career began in Emergency Medicine, where I spent more than a decade caring for people at the moment something had already gone wrong. Traditional medicine is exceptional at what it was designed to do—but it is not designed to protect the long arc of a life. It does not reward early action, long-term thinking, or nuance. It reacts.

In 2022, the sudden loss of my wife at age 38 permanently altered how I understand risk, time, and responsibility. The future stopped being theoretical. It became personal. As a physician—and as a father of three young children—I began asking different questions:
What actually preserves capacity over decades? What risks quietly compound while we’re busy living? And what kind of medical relationship would I want if the stakes were truly long-term?

Cultivate Health is my answer to those questions.

This practice is intentionally small. I limit the number of people I work with because this model depends on depth, consistency, and trust built over time. Real precision medicine does not happen in a single visit, or through a dashboard alone. It emerges longitudinally, through repeated conversations, careful interpretation, and an evolving understanding of a person’s biology within the context of their life.

At Cultivate Health, advanced diagnostics matter—but they are never the endpoint. Labs, genetics, imaging, physiologic testing, and emerging technologies help clarify patterns and surface risk. They help us see more clearly. But they do not make decisions for you.

The most important work happens in the space that technology cannot occupy: interpretation, prioritization, and judgment under uncertainty. It happens when we decide what matters now, what matters later, and—just as importantly—what does not matter at all. It happens when health decisions are aligned with your values, your family history, your responsibilities, and the future you are trying to protect.

Most people I work with are not sick. They are capable, functional, and high-performing. They are also standing at an inflection point—the period when small biological risks begin to compound into large future outcomes, and when deliberate action has the greatest leverage. This window is easy to miss. Traditional medicine often does. 

Cultivate Health is not designed for everyone. It is designed for people who understand that their life, work, and relationships depend on the health of their body and mind—and who are no longer willing to leave that to chance. People who value continuity over convenience, strategy over quick fixes, and partnership over prescriptions alone.

This is a strategic engagement. You bring curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to engage thoughtfully with your own biology. I bring medical expertise, advanced diagnostics, and a long- horizon perspective focused on preserving strength, clarity, and independence for decades to come.

The goal is not more interventions. The goal is fewer, better ones—applied at the right time, for the right reasons, and revisited as your life evolves.

If that resonates, I would welcome the opportunity to sit down together. Everything meaningful about this work begins with a conversation.
