Do you have time for
anything else?
I have a wide variety of interests
including sports of all kinds, ranging
from football, hockey and squash

LifestyleMed Inc. and it operates
as Lifestyle Medicine and Sports
Injuries Clinic. Currently, we’re

other health care professionals
who can work collaboratively
within our team to maximize the
benefits of team medicine.

patients to use lifestyle changes to
make positive, active improvements.
These lifestyle changes make
lifelong improvements in their
health. I believe that with my dual
background and experience, I
