Hello and welcome! My name is Joel.

I have been challenged by an overactive mind my entire life. This trait has manifested itself in a spectrum of overwhelm & procrastination, substance use & abuse, and an addiction to accomplishment & perfectionism.

These challenges fueled countless hours of self-directed study, bachelor’s degrees in Human Nutrition and Exercise & Wellness, and a master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies.

I believe our ‘hardware’ (physiology, biology, genetics, etc.) AND our ‘software’ (psychology, thoughts, beliefs, etc.) are equally vital for optimal mental and physical health. This hardware/software concept has been the backbone of my medical practice, teaching, and coaching for the past decade.

To heal our Hardware, I use Precision Health (genetic testing, blood work, and lifestyle data) to build truly personalized blueprints that form an optimal system’s foundation.

For Software, I blend Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change to create a powerful mind capable of creating and sustaining meaningful change.

Discovering your personalized blueprint and gaining an empowered mindset are truly invaluable tools, but the felt experience of a calm nervous system and a peaceful mind is life-changing.

Joel has earned Bachelor’s degrees in both Exercise & Wellness and Human Nutrition, and is a certified Physician Assistant. He blends this training and years practicing medicine with his passionate study of Psychology, Neuroscience and Metacognition to create an optimal approach to expansive living rooted in purpose and personal power.
