Dr Jimmy served in private practice for over 10 years, as a fellowship-trained physical medicine doctor, and then transitioned to become a board certified naturopathic doctor. He is also a master certified professional coach and licensed ecclesiastical holistic practitioner. He enjoys employing his experience and expertise as a health and wellness coach, life and career coach, corporate wellness consultant, and public speaker.
He began his personal wellness journey in 2016 after his dear cousin lost her battle with breast cancer. She was only 34 years of age without any known risk factors. He then realized the shortcomings of conventional medicine, and had the revelation that the cause of severe illness is more environmental than hereditary. While she was always hopeful that he could help her, he felt helpless as a physician that he was unable to do anything to save her life.
From there, he decided to prioritize his own health and wellness, which was exceedingly difficult being a doctor and business owner. Despite adopting a vegan lifestyle, he struggled with his weight and fatigue due to the stresses of helping his patients and managing his practice. He was also burdened by the disheartening reality that capitalism in healthcare was compromising patient care. It wasn't until he walked away from the stress of clinical medicine, did he realize how much burnout he had been suffering with.
These lessons became opportunities to prioritize what mattered most, faith and family. Being called according to God's purpose, his vision focused on naturopathic medicine. He believes that medicine is a ministry: your body is your temple and your wellness is your worship.
He is passionate about helping fellow physicians and professionals resolve their stress and weight problems to improve their health and wellness.
