Functional Medicine, in the Comfort of Your Home.

.

Can I fly to come see Dr.Z in person?

Due to my travel schedule, at this time I am only connecting with people through remote consultations.

Consulting Services for Natural Living Product Developers

I understand what the natural health consumer wants. Do you?

If you’re creating a healthcare product aimed at integrative doctors or their patients, I can help point out roadblocks and offer pointers on how to circumvent them. The bar is set higher for this market, and I can help you adjust for it accordingly.

Working on something BIG? We can start with a chat by phone or web using the scheduler below. Depending on the scale of your project and your interest in working with me, we can then discuss a flat fee or an hourly rate for ongoing support.

Consulting Services for Fellow Healthcare Providers

Are you a fellow healer in need of guidance? Would you like to “pick my brain?”

Clinical Support. Stuck on a tough case? Needing some guidance? Wanting to learn the nuances of how to prescribe a certain herb, or interpret a functional lab test? Need some strategies for using natural medicine in your practice? I’ve got your back.

Business Advice. If you have questions about structuring your business, whether or not to accept health insurance, how to collect payments, how to find a healthy work/life balance, or how to best train your personnel, we should talk. (Seriously: members of my team write me random notes telling me how much they love working with me.)

Internships for Medical Students

Externship, Preceptorship, Shadowing, etc.

It’s my honor to support, inspire, educate, and empower fledgling healthcare providers.

Whether you’re looking for support around job applications, work/life balance, or something else, I’m happy to help.

Please note that I am currently not accepting preceptorship or job shadow applications, but am available for phone/web mentorship sessions.

Considering a Career in Natural Medicine?

Talk to somebody on the “inside”

How much does medical school really cost?

Is it better to become an MD, DO, ND (or NMD), NP, PA, homeopath, clinical nutritionist, clinical herbalist, health coach or what?

What about job satisfaction, earning potential, opportunities for working/volunteering abroad, loan forgiveness, versatility of skillset? When do you fit in travel, a wedding, and childrearing if you want to become a doctor?

There are so many factors to consider when taking the very big step of pursuing a career in medicine. There’s no one right choice for everybody, but with a little thought you may be able to find the path that best suits your talents and goals.

I am a graduate of a CNME-accredited naturopathic medical school and can speak to the pros and cons of the education I received (which, by the way, was phenomenal!) and the job prospects I found (and didn’t) when I got out of school. I’ve also been out of school long enough to see what kinds of personalities thrive in this industry and what kinds don’t. I have close friends that are NDs, MDs, DOs, NPs, PharmDs and all other kinds of practitioners – some in private practice, others working in hospitals and urgent cares, others working for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, others teaching, others writing, others working with plant medicine in the Amazon, and still others in research – who have shared with me (both on and off the record) how they feel about their career choices and the advice they wish they’d received when they were sitting where you are right now.

I hope you’re asking yourself these tough questions and doing more than just guesstimating the answers. Let me help you connect some of the dots and fill in the gaps so that you can make the choice that’s ultimately smartest – and healthiest – for you in the long run. Because my goal? Is for you to be happy.

Your future self will thank you. (And me!)
