Hi there! I'm a board-certified medical doctor, co-founder of AthleatMD, and former Stanford swimmer passionate about caring for any athlete struggling with REDs and eating disorders. I provide compassionate, all-virtual medical consultation and ongoing care to children, adolescents, and young adults up through age 30 in all 50 US states + DC.
I first became passionate about REDs and eating disorders in athletic populations college, when I began doing clinical research in this area. After completing medical school and Pediatrics residency at Stanford, I joined the clinical faculty in Stanford Adolescent Medicine, where I cared for adolescent and young adults with eating disorders in the inpatient and outpatient settings. I then joined Equip Health, now the nation's leading virtual eating disorder treatment program, as the founding Medical Director, building out the medical team and program, as well as the physical activity protocols and athlete groups.
Recently, I cofounded AthleatMD with Megan Hellner, DrPH, RD, to help bring expert, virtual medical and nutrition services to athletes struggling REDs, sports nutrition, and eating disorders. As former athletes, Dr. Hellner and I identified a gap in treatment for athletes needing clinicians with expertise in REDs and eating disorders, as well as in the athlete identity. We know that athletes tend to perform at their best, and have more sustainable careers, when their bodies are in a proper energy balance. We'd love to help you optimize your health and reach your goals - in your sport and beyond.
My services include:
- Medical consultation and follow up
- Remote vital sign monitoring
- Lab testing- Prescription medications (when indicated)
- Physical activity prescriptions and guidance
- Care collaboration with other care team members when needed
- Family consultations
When appropriate, AthleatMD can provide dietitian services as well for individualized nutrition support. I look forward to working with you!
