He knew he wanted to be a doctor early on to find the cure to his family’s complications and their struggle with weight. He went through college, medical school, and residency; and consistently gained pounds every year. His life changed when one day, he accepted his wife’s challenge to finally lose the weight so that he can better help his patients to get off medication and start their weight loss journey the healthy way.
