I always had an interest in health and fitness, but never thought I would make it my career. I began my studies in architecture at the University of Texas at Austin.  While I enjoyed the projects and curriculum, I was deeply bothered by the poor lifestyle and eating habits I had developed. I completed the program and decided to search for my purpose in other directions.

​In 2011, I obtained my Certified Personal Training certification from the National Association of Sports Medicine and began helping individuals achieve their fitness goals and live a better life. While I loved training my clients and seeing them achieve great results in fat loss and muscle gain, I was baffled by their chronic allergies, sleeping problems, chronic fatigue, and other ailments. In order to better serve my clients and to satisfy my thirst for knowledge, I obtained my Masters in Health Behavior and Health Education (2014).

Throughout my life, I often suffered from chronic ailments such as allergies, insomnia, severe joint pain, digestion issues, and depression. At my worst, I found myself surrendering to a life of debilitating disease after inexplicably losing 20 pounds over 4 weeks, with profound night sweats and fever that just wouldn’t go away. My General Practitioner, Chiropractor, and Gastroenterologist were all clueless. I felt hopeless.

In March 2012, a functional medicine test changed my life by discovering food sensitivities that were causing inflammation all over my body, resulting in all sorts of problems.  While resolving the food sensitivities contributed to me feeling better than ever, I had a hunch that there was much more to the picture. My passion was re-ignited, and I quickly became gluttonous for any knowledge related to natural healing. I read stacks of books, countless articles, and listened to many podcasts by natural health authorities. Eventually, my search led me to study functional medicine.

Since then, I have mentored under one of the most respected functional medicine doctors, Dr. Daniel Kalish, and put my new skills to practice, helping others find freedom from debilitating conditions. My purpose is to assist my clients in feeling better as quickly as possible while they heal and adopt a lifestyle that will contribute to lifelong optimum health.

"Plain and simple Andrew changed my life.  My weight was slowly increasing, I had very little energy and felt tired all the time. I had chronic back pain.  I also thought the rumbling in my stomach and bloating after eating was normal. Turns out it's not. Andrew introduced a new way to think about food, exercise and overall health that has reversed every condition and improved countless other aspects of my life. You owe it to yourself to feel good and Andrew can help you make that happen."

"I have been working with Andrew for a few months now and feel amazing. His guidance on supplements and his recommendations for an eating plan have helped me take a big step in improving my well-being. I have more energy; the pain in my knees has subsided dramatically; I’m sleeping better;  and even my skin is getting better. Andrew has takes time to explain what he is recommending and why. I can actually understand what’s going on with my body."

"Andrew's expertise in assessing my problems related to energy deficits, difficulties engaging in quality sleep, and chronic gastric issues enabled him to formulate a multifaceted diagnosis and a suitable treatment plan including not just dietary supplementation but lifestyle modifications as well.  By diligently and patiently addressing each of my underlying issues,  my overall sense of health, well being, and stability lies in a much better place now."
