I am an author and Associate Professor Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, where I created and direct the adult inpatient bone marrow transplant massage service. I am dual board-certified in internal medicine and addiction medicine. I am faculty at the Osher Center for Integrative Health in San Francisco where I provide consultations in integrative oncology and integrative medicine, and I am chair of their educational case conference series. I teach the “Food as Medicine” CODA series for residents and students at the university.

I am the director of the OPTIMAL-IH Long COVID clinic, in collaboration with the OPTIMAL Long COVID clinic in the Pulmonary department at UCSF. I wrote a book on holistic approaches to Long COVID recovery and direct Long COVID group medical visits at the OPTIMAL clinic.

I combine east-west medicine approaches in my practice with a focus on precision medicine and microbiome medicine as part of my holistic clinical practice.

I am a travel junkie and I speak 5 languages. I love to hike, ski, and spend time in nature.
