For twenty years I had a thriving practice as a board certified gastroenterologist. During this time, I observed that the medical system was often complex, overwhelming, and difficult to navigate for patients – and I was experiencing burnout from the relentless demands of this insurance-driven system.
Many of my patients with chronic conditions or complicated health histories often felt frustrated, anxious, or stuck – and would often give up their hope for regaining health.
After my own family started experiencing seemingly unexplainable digestive and immune system issues, I began to explore functional medicine. I was drawn to the philosophy of understanding the root cause of disease – rather than merely treating the symptoms – and soon after, I saw a transformation in my own health and the health of my family as we incorporated what I was discovering.
My health transformation working with Faraz Berjis has been wonderful. Since starting my appointments with him I realized that getting healthier was possible for me. Once I understood why my body was in a constant fight or flight state I was able to make changes. I feel empowered with new habits that actually stick.
Faraz Berjis has been very helping to me by brining a holistic perspective to my overall health. Through our work together it has become very clear what foods make me feel better and what foods make me feel worse. My autoimmune flare ups are much less frequent and do not last as long.
