Since I was a young boy at 5 years old, I became interested in fitness and health by doing weight lifting with my older brother. He taught me to eliminate sugars and processed foods in my diet to become a more effective soccer player. Maximizing my physical body intrigued me!

In high school, I was introduced to a whole food diet program. After making these radical changes, I experienced just how amazing my body could feel when feeding it the right combination of nutrients.

Searching for more answers, I found the conventional medical system fell very short. So, I explored aboriginal diets and medicine to find out how traditional people have achieved optimal health. Over years of study, I was drawn towards the aboriginal ideology which gives the body the nutrients and herbs it needs to heal and eliminates any toxicities that impede health. This philosophy seemed much more sound than the traditional medical model of forcing the body to use harmful drugs or surgery. In order to accelerate my journey of learning, I enrolled in Naturopathic Medical School.
