As a best-selling author”HAPPY GUT®-a cleansing plan to help you lose weight, gain energy and eliminate pain,” featuring his proprietary “blueprint” for healing the gut, the Gut CARE® project-he has helped thousands of people around the world solve gut-related health problems.

From his website:

“I believe that I treat patients in the same way that I want family members to be treated by their doctors. I use the same philosophy when selecting experts.

My first criterion is: Will I send my loved one to see this expert? In other words, will I entrust the care of my family to this specialist?

This is my nursing philosophy and my approach to medicine. Everything else starts from there. “
