Dr. Bob was born and raised in the Florham Park, NJ area.
He received his degree in Mechanical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and had a successful landscaping business upon graduating.
Dr. Bob became interested in WHOLISTIC HEALTH in his mid-twenties after an encounter with an alternative health professional resolved the painful, persistent ear infections that he had struggled with his entire childhood.
This profound experience made him rethink what he wanted to do as a career. He sold his business and returned to school, eager to help others just like he had been helped.
Dr. Bob loved the philosophy of VITALISM, which teaches about the incredible, innate intelligence of our bodies and its power to SELF-HEAL when given the opportunity.
His interest in FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE using whole food supplements was inspired by his desire to help his mom. Unable to solve her raging blood sugar problem with conventional therapies, naturally she looked to her son for help.
He successfully helped her avoid the chronic condition of diabetes, which inspired him to learn more about ADVANCED NUTRITION and cutting-edge testing to discover the root causes of modern-day disease.
“I feel incredibly fortunate every day to be able to help others function better and increase the self-healing potential of their bodies without the use of prescription medicines or risky surgery.”
In his spare time, Dr. Bob enjoys working out, reading, playing hockey, grilling for friends and family, and spending quality time with his lovely wife, Maria and their four cats.
Most standard thyroid blood panels performed by conventionally trained MDs only contain 2 or 3 hormone tests. This is totally inadequate to assess thyroid function throughly. In Functional Medicine, our thyroid blood panels include 9 or more thyroid markers including autoimmune testing (Hashimotos) to uncover the root hidden cause of your thyroid problems.
In conventional medicine it is "a pill for every ill." For most thyroid conditions, that simply means giving a synthetic hormone (for example, Synthroid). This approach never solves the Root, Hidden causes, which include Nutritional Deficiences and Cellular Toxicity. In Functional Medicine, since every person is biochemically unique, each care plan is customized to your individual metabolic needs. This is determined by Advanced Testing not normally done by most doctors.
Did you know that 95% of all the commerically available supplements are synthetic, made in a lab? In our office, we never use synthetic chemicals masquerading as natural nutrition. We only use the worlds best "whole food concentrates" for superior clinical results the way nature intended it.
When it come to blood sugar, most doctors only test Glucose and A1C. The truth is that in order to indentify and correct the Root Causes of blood sugar imbalances many other body systems must be evalulated. Other endocrine (hormonal) systems are often involved in blood sugar stability such as Adrenals and Thyroid. Our advanced blood sugar testing protocols include all these tests and more!
Eating "Low Carb" only gets you so far. To radically change broken endocrine system function you need to do much more. When it comes to nutrition there are hundreds of different nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, herbs and botanicals available. Everything we do and recommend is based on testing and your specific nutritional deficiencies and toxicity.
Even eating well does not guarantee stable or perfect blood sugar. There are other aspects of the enviroment that can affect how you look, feel and function. These include things like stress managment, sleep and efficient exercise for your specific body type. We hold your hand every step of the way throughout the entire program with recommendations taylored to specific needs.
Certainty. Trust. Leadership. This initial conversation is the first step toward greater health, freedom and peace of mind. What exactly do you want in order to get your life back? Well, we want what you want.
Cutting-edge, medical detective work. Sherlock Holmes would be proud. We look below the surface to uncover the hidden, root causes of symptoms and chronic disease that most conventionally trained doctors miss. Nutritional deficiencies, toxicities, inflammation, and out-of-control hormones. This is the difference and the promise of Functional Medicine.
Doctor-supervised mentorship, coaching and accountability. Advanced, whole body & brain detoxification. Targeted nutritional rejuvenation/supplementation. Cellular healing food plans. Exercise and stress management modules. Proven solutions for maximum health, anti-aging, weight loss and true wellness.
Our practice excels in both stubborn, unresolved THYROID and BLOOD SUGAR care by tackling these complicated problems with a FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE approach. This is an exciting, new field of medicine focusing on the HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of poor health that are often ignored in CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE. The two most common causes are NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY and CELLULAR TOXICITY. We use PERSONALIZED, NATURAL LIFESTYLE SOLUTIONS such as ADVANCED nutritional rejuvenation and DETOXIFICATION strategies to achieve results that drug therapy can not achieve. Choose us for a deeper, safer, most effective path to true prevention and wellness.

In our clinic, (and right here on our website!) we confidently tell our clients:
‘We uncover the HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of poor health that most doctors miss.’
Exactly how do we do that, you ask?
Let’s talk about the 3 biggest MISSING PIECES to your personal health puzzle.
First, let’s about the way we TEST people in order to uncover these HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of their stubborn symptoms.
See, poor health leaves clues…
And we are medical detectives!
So, question…
Can most doctors fix a problem that they don’t see?
In other words, imagine you HAVE a problem.
(You probably don’t have to imagine if you’re reading this)
But your doctor just does NOT see it.
How can a doctor fix a problem that he or she does not see?
What we hear all the time is this:
‘Doc, I don’t look my best (for example, ‘This is the most I’ve ever weighed’) and I don’t feel my best…
…I KNOW my body and I am just NOT functioning at my best.’
It’s like your sleep, your digestion, your energy, your hair, skin and nails, your sex life, your metabolism –these are just NOT good and you KNOW it…
But still, our patients tell us –
(Here it comes…)
‘My doctor says my lab tests are normal’
So, is this you?
See in our world, (the exciting, new field of medicine known as Functional Medicine, or Lifestyle Medicine) our approach to HEALTH is fundamentally different than most doctors.
Remember, we uncover the HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of poor health.
How do we do that, you ask?
First and foremost, we TEST people differently.
Second, we interpret the results VERY differently.
Believe me, we’re not smarter.
We just have a different set of tools and a different perspective about health.
So, we’re able to find the things that other doctors miss.
(That’s why we call it the missing piece)
In conventional medicine, treating a person’s symptoms, sickness and disease is like looking to rebuild a car that has just gone off a cliff.
You need to send a tow truck and an ambulance!
But looking for health is different.
That’s noticing that the check engine light is on, you’re out of brake fluid and the car is running out of gas.
We need to take care of these things BEFORE we go off the cliff, right?
In our office, we do not suppress or even treat symptoms.
Instead, we address ROOT CAUSES.
So, in Functional Medicine we look for different things that doctors who are not focused on wellness and prevention DO NOT look for.
Let’s talk about one of these differences today.
Despite their doctor’s good intentions, our patients STILL suffer from things like REALLY stubborn weight loss resistance, blood sugar imbalances and persistent thyroid symptoms.
Things like digestive distress, bloating and irritable bowel syndrome.
Like brain fog.
Like fibromyalgia and joint pain.
Like mood swings, anxiety and depression.
Like infertility and hormone imbalances.
These are conditions that we see here every day – and there is NO doubt that a BIG part of the reason we get the clinical results that we do, often when traditional medicine fails, is because we ASK a question most doctors DO NOT ask.
(And then we answer it!)
So, here’s the question…
Are you NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT?
Nutritional Deficiency is the #1 cause of most of the chronic health challenges we see in this office – the things I just mentioned.
But the ordinary bloodwork that you’re used to does NOT test for that.
Once again, you need Advanced Metabolic Lab Work.
Why is NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY even a thing?
I tell patients this…
The demands of modern living, the enormous physical, chemical and emotional stress on our body PLUS the poor quality of food due to the
Attention: What you are about to learn applies to EVERY poor health condition, YES EVEN YOURS, that we see in our clinic, NOT just stubborn weight loss…
Here’s a question we get all the time…
‘So, why am I fat, Doc?’
This is a question we get ALL day, EVERY day.
‘I eat well, I exercise, but I just can’t lose weight’
OR…
‘I can lose it, I mean, if I really PUSH MYSELF HARD, I can LOSE it…
I just can’t KEEP it off.’
Frustrating, isn’t it?
If you want to know why, despite good intentions and good effort, you can NOT lose weight or keep it off…
I’m going to tell you why.
You’re fat because your fat burning HORMONES, are not working.
What do hormones have to do with weight loss? The answer is everything.
Because HORMONES – hear me now, HORMONES control METABOLISM.
There are over 600 hormones in your body.
But you only have to know how to turn ON the 6 (or so) that make you BURN fat.
You also must know how to turn OFF (or minimize, or balance) the 3 that make you STORE fat.
That is the secret.
See anybody can lose water weight – the thing that makes us different- we teach our patients how to turn on those 6 fat-burning hormones.
In other words, how to get into and STAY INTO healthy fat burning.
I call the weight loss industry a wild jungle – false claims, junk science marketing hype – how do we know that?
Because diets (specifically calorie counting) do NOT work.
And haven’t for the past 50 years!
In the long run, most people gain all the weight back and the reason they fail is because they all ignore the true underlying ROOT CAUSES of all poor health conditions.
We’ve already talked about a BIG one, nutritional deficiencies.
And this next HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSE of people’s weight issues, is EXACTLY the cause of MOST poor health issues as well…
We would love to speak with you.
