I'm a Family Doctor near Montreal, Canada, and I have developed an expertise in metabolic health. I am board certified in Obesity Medicine by the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM). I've also taken quite a few courses on low carb/ketogenic/intermittent fasting, including some training with Dr. Jason Fung, author of Obesity Code, Diabetes Code and the Complete Guide to Fasting. I have a certificate in Nutrition and Chronic Pain, and I am currently in the process of getting certified in hormone replacement therapy.
My passion is to help patients get their health back, reach a healthy weight, feel good and love life.
I have founded Clinique Reversa in 2017, which is a not-for-profit program to help patients reverse their lifestyle related chronic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, gout, hypertension, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, PCOS, NAFLD, etc.
Our program is led by a multidisciplinary team composed of nurses, kinesiologists, psychologist, pharmacist, medical assistants, and doctors, under my supervision. We teach patients to change their lifestyle habits, in particular their diet, to reach their health goals, and we accompany them along the process over the course of a few months. We deprescribe drugs along the way, as they become unnecessary.

I have personally started eating low carb/keto and doing intermittent fasting in May of 2016. This completely changed my personal and professional life.
I am married, and I have two children: a 4-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl. I enjoy rowing, and I am fluent in English, French and Spanish.
