SYSTEMS ENGINEER • IHP LEVEL 2 • DATA-DRIVEN HEALTH
I Was Where You Are
High-achieving. Driven. Ignoring the warning signs until my health, family, and performance all paid the price.
High-achieving. Driven. Ignoring the warning signs until my health, family, and performance all paid the price.
For 8 years, I built radar systems—mixed signal PCB design for defense, automotive, and commercial applications. Hardware, firmware, software, scripting. I loved solving hard problems. Debugging complex systems piece by piece, accounting for every variable.
I was also pushing hard. Starting side projects. Chasing financial freedom. I looked around at "successful" engineers: broken family lives, lost zeal, metabolic issues, overweight, melancholy. I didn't want that destiny. So I kept working harder to escape it.
But I was running out of steam. Not recovering. Prioritizing work over sleep, nutrition, exercise. Extremely stressed. My drive was fading. Ambition dulled. Motivation inconsistent. Training hard but barely building muscle. Classic signs I didn't recognize at the time.
As an engineer, I don't give up when 8 things don't work. I keep isolating, testing, analyzing. So I started doing functional labs—not the doctor labs that said "normal." I researched. Podcasts. Books. Always learning.
The results hit hard: severe magnesium deficiency, leaky gut, brain fog, low testosterone. All invisible on standard panels. Every symptom had a measurable cause. I implemented supplement protocols, targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, functional medicine detox. Felt results in a few weeks. More at 8 weeks.
The moment everything changed:
I didn't realize you're supposed to actually feel tired when you fall asleep. I was so used to feeling wired and tired, eventually passing out. But one night I laid in bed and felt my eyelids getting heavy. Felt my brain shut off. Felt my body releasing melatonin.
That night I felt so much relief as my body finally started to recover.
That balanced approach made me 10x more productive. Learning faster and better. More present with my family (3 kids). Better decisions. Drive and ambition restored. Building muscle again. More confident. Excited about life again.
I got IHP certified at age 30. Same debugging methodology, different system. Find the root cause. Test the fix. Verify the result. Now I help driven men avoid the burnout I lived through—and fix the hormonal dysfunction conventional doctors miss—before it becomes a lifetime of medication.
Help driven men optimize energy, focus, and vitality—without burning out or becoming dependent on lifelong medication.
Three Core Principles:
Where systems engineering meets functional medicine
Integrative Health Practitioner certification in functional medicine. Certified in functional lab interpretation (HTMA, OAT, metabolic panels). Trained in 7 integrative disciplines. Root cause protocols, not symptom management.
Systems engineering: radar, defense, commercial applications. Data integrity and pattern analysis across complex systems. Debugging interdependent variables (hardware, software, biological). Same methodology I use to trace YOUR root causes.
Every biomarker tracked and cross-referenced. Protocol adjustments based on data, not guesswork. Building YOUR health system from verified components. Engineering precision applied to metabolic health.
My training draws from 7 proven disciplines—hover to see how each one helps YOU
Individualized metabolic typing—your body isn't like everyone else's. I identify YOUR specific constitution to optimize diet and lifestyle for sustainable energy.
Your body's self-healing systems work when given the right signals. I identify what's blocking natural regulation (toxins, deficiencies, stress) and restore balance.
Nature provides what synthetic solutions mask. I use food-based protocols and targeted supplementation to fix deficiencies without lifetime dependency on pills.
Advanced lab interpretation (HTMA, OAT, metabolic panels) reveals dysfunction years before disease. I catch what your doctor's standard labs miss.
Energy flow and organ system connections matter. Symptoms in one area often trace to imbalances elsewhere—I map those connections to find hidden root causes.
Optimal doses of nutrients at the cellular level—not RDA minimums. I use high-dose targeted supplementation to correct deficiencies that fuel metabolic dysfunction.
Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm aren't just "in your head"—they create real hormonal dysfunction. I address the mental and emotional patterns driving your physical symptoms.
How I debug metabolic dysfunction
Standard labs only catch disease. Functional labs (HTMA, OAT, metabolic panels) catch DYSFUNCTION. Most clients have 5-10 underlying issues conventional doctors never test for.
Systematic pattern recognition + 10 years debugging experience = connections doctors miss. Example: Elevated glucose + low magnesium + high cortisol + gut inflammation = insulin resistance ROOT CAUSE, not just "eat less sugar."
Symptoms are outputs, not inputs. Fatigue isn't the problem—it's the OUTPUT of mitochondrial dysfunction. Fix the input (nutrient deficiency, toxin overload, gut permeability), the output (fatigue) resolves.
Address CAUSE, not symptom. No stimulants for energy (masks the problem). No sleep aids for insomnia (ignores cortisol dysregulation). Fix magnesium, heal gut, support detox pathways—energy and sleep return naturally.
Track biomarkers. Adjust protocol based on symptoms and lab changes. Continuous improvement until the system is optimized. Then teach YOU how to maintain it independently.
From burnout to optimization
Chronic fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, "normal" lab results, told to "just manage stress better"
Functional labs reveal hidden dysfunctions: mineral imbalances, gut permeability, detox pathway congestion, low testosterone
Root causes addressed, energy restored, mental clarity back, body composition optimized, strategic independence achieved
