Welcome to Soul Science Living
Helping you integrate and empower your soul and body through science and practice of meditation, mindset, nutrition, movement, and lifestyle.
Let’s get started
Conventional healthcare is broken. That includes the “disease care system” and much of the integrative, functional, or holistic health worlds. I’m here to help you discover the path that serves you to the highest level.
1. Why this, why now, why me?
I’m driven by the observation that much of conventional medicine and complementary healthcare are missing the point.
Conventional medicine has done amazing things. If you’re acutely ill or injured it is often the best place to be. But if you’re dealing with chronic pain or illness, or you’re feeling ok and want to live the best possible life, you might not get much help. And you might get shamed, dismissed, mistreated, or harmed by arrogance or unwanted effects of drugs or procedures.
The scientific method and “evidence-based medicine” where developed to help us provide more reliable diagnosis and treatment. But the principles have been corrupted by arrogance, narrowmindedness, and monetary and political factors.
Complementary healing has amazing potential for many difficult conditions. But there is often lack of solid basis for the practices, and unscrupulous or poorly-informed practitioners and entities who gain at your expense.
And both those worlds of healing often miss the most important point.
The most important point is that you have an extraordinary capacity to grow, heal, and live to your highest potential.
It is the things that you can do for yourself that will bring you there.
You have choices about what you do with your mind-body connection, your movement system, and your metabolic/biochemical system.
Your conscious choices and actions in those domains of self-care are what have the biggest impact on your well-being, success, fulfillment, and longevity.
I’ve traveled all the worlds of health care, scientific training, natural healing, integrative healing, and personal development. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. (I also saw the movie of that title, but that’s not what I mean here)
The life-journey that has formed, humbled, and built my perspective includes the unbelievable gifts of an elite education in engineering at MIT, medical school at Duke University, and post-graduate training at Harvard Medical School. It includes over 35 years of training in contemplative practices and movement arts. A lifetime of meeting my own inner challenges and pain and learning to be human, with humility and constant aspiration toward growth. Ten years of training and practice in functional medicine and lifestyle medicine. Twenty years studying the inner and outer Torah and sages who provide a brilliant and prophetic understanding of the human soul and mind-body condition, as well as tools and techniques for optimizing soul-body integration. It includes the honor of serving as an integrative physician to tens of thousands of patients over 25 years, all of whom have been my teachers and guides.
