I can answer questions pertaining to fitness therapy, i.e., post rehabilitative fitness programs for special population groups, such as those diagnosed with a lifestyle related medical condition within six weeks after formally diagnosed-as medically necessary extended care and alternative medicine. I do not answer questions specifically about gym, track, and field athletics, as these are for sports specific athletic trainers or personal training specialists-I work best with people who have been prediagnosed with a lifestyle related medical condition such as those who have been prescribed fitness therapy (or medical exercise therapy) by their primary care practitioners.

I can answer any question related to conditions treated by naturopathic medicine and how they might be approached. These would include (but are not limited to) allergies, arthritis, depression/anxiety, autoimmune diseases, irritable bowel, PMS, menopause, hormone dysfunction, chemical sensitivity, headache, and chronic pain. I am also happy to discuss naturopathic therpaies including herbal/botanical medicine, medical nutrition, diet therapy, detoxification, manipulation, hydrotherapy, and natural hormone replacement. I would also welcome questions on naturopathic philosophy, licensure, scope of practice and education
