I'm a board-certified physician in both Emergency Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and founder of Highland Longevity, a concierge longevity clinic in Fort Worth, Texas. My perspective on metabolic health is shaped by both clinical expertise and personal experience. I lost 87 pounds using GLP-1 medications—but made the common mistake of losing significant muscle in the process. That experience drove me to redesign my entire approach: I subsequently lost an additional 17 pounds of pure fat while preserving lean tissue. This journey transformed how I practice medicine and gave me firsthand insight into the challenges my patients face. With over 6,000 clinical hours in emergency medicine, I've seen the downstream consequences of metabolic disease—and became convinced that the real opportunity lies in prevention and optimization, not just acute intervention. I founded Highland Longevity to bridge the gap between reactive sick care and proactive health optimization. My practice focuses on medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and advanced diagnostics including DEXA body composition analysis and VO2 max testing. I emphasize evidence-based, physician-guided protocols using only FDA-approved medications or properly compounded pharmaceuticals. I speak and write about the science of sustainable weight loss, muscle preservation during caloric deficit, GLP-1 medications, hormone optimization, and the metabolic adaptations that make weight management so challenging for most people. Expertise: Obesity Medicine, GLP-1 Therapy, Metabolic Health, Longevity Medicine, Hormone Optimization, Body Composition
