With more than 30 years on the medical frontlines, from responding to paramedic calls to working in high-pressure emergency rooms, Russ has witnessed firsthand what happens when healthcare arrives too late. That’s why he’s flipped the script, shifting from crisis response to root-cause prevention.
Certified in lifestyle medicine by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and a regular contributor to ACLM’s national conferences, Russ brings the science - but never loses the human. His approach blends deep clinical insight with a clear-eyed belief: the body is built to heal, if we give it the chance.
When he’s not coaching patients through meaningful health shifts, you’ll find him clocking miles on triathlon trails, experimenting with plant-powered recipes, or championing community wellness from the ground up.
