I’ve been fortunate to have an incredibly fulfilling career in medicine. It’s been my lifelong passion. I have been an internal and emergency medicine doctor, a senior physician executive at Kaiser and Blue Shield, and a highly sought after healthcare consultant. Now I would like my digital health company, The Doctor Weighs In (TDWI) to be my legacy, as its founder, CEO, and Editor in Chief. TDWI offers fun-to-read, informative, fact-checked, and medically reviewed articles for health-conscious consumers. We are a trusted resource for health-seekers across demographics and digital devices.People seek health related information online because they want to take health and wellness into their own hands. However, there is much misinformation, disinformation, and heavily commercialized health information online. Yet many medical information websites are dry and difficult to read. TDWI humanizes medicine, empowers consumers, and digitally connects them with physician-generated content. Little did I know 15 years ago when I started a diet and weight loss blog, that it would grow into a multi authored, multi channelled, authoritative resource for a global audience of millions.We cover topics such as: health & wellness fitness, exercise, diet primary care, chronic conditionsmental health alternative medicine vitamins & nutritional supplementspublic policydigital health, medical devices & products innovative treatments & technologiesand various other topicsReaders form their spontaneous communities around specific subjects to express themselves and support each other. I interview influencers in medicine and healthcare policy to keep the public and healthcare professionals informed on cutting edge developments.I was recognized by LinkedIn as a Top Voice in Healthcare 2 years in a row. I am the co-author of "Connected Health: Improving Care, Safety and Efficiency with Wearables and IoT Solution", and an advisory board member at a number of digital health startups (two of which have been acquired), and the author of numerous peer-review medical journals and articles in the lay press. I am a regular podcaster at the American Journal of Managed Care and a member of the Association of Healthcare Journalists.I'm a featured medical guest on a number of news programs including CNN and Fox and I frequently weigh in on health topics in popular media such as Readers Digest, Self Magazine, Teen Vogue, Motherly, and others.TDWI is expanding by partnering with organizations in promulgating the highest standards in digital health information.
