Hey, my name is Rob, and this is my story.

My passion for health began after a series of health issues that snowballed into major dysfunction in my body.

I experienced a challenging and traumatic childhood with various health issues such as recurring tonsillitis, asthma, and ear infections, leading to frequent antibiotics, which damaged my gut health. In my teenage years, I contracted glandular fever (EBV), which led to chronic fatigue syndrome. At 17, after a six-year battle with breast cancer, I lost my mother. This deeply impacted me and fuelled my interest in holistic medicine.

After high school, I worked 80+ hour weeks as an electrician, surviving on coffee, cortisol, and adrenaline, and mistreated my body. Following a difficult breakup, I travelled, experiencing near-fatal food poisoning in Vietnam and contracting Dengue fever while rock climbing in the jungles of Thailand. Seeking escape, I partied hard, exposing myself to further sleep deprivation, alcohol, and drugs, which worsened my health. I began losing hair, developed joint pain, inflammation, digestive issues, high blood pressure, depression, and severe weight loss. After countless visits to GPs and specialists—undergoing numerous tests and scans, which gave me zero answers—I decided to take my health into my own hands.

I immersed myself in research—becoming a PubMed nerd—exploring podcasts, books, studies, and lectures. While attending Burning Man, I participated in a workshop led by an integrative doctor, which sparked my fascination with genetics and nutrigenomics. This deepened my passion for understanding the human body. Eventually, I began working with an Integrative Nutritionist in America, who helped me uncover the root causes of my symptoms through functional testing, revealing significant imbalances. I invested over $10,000 in testing, supplements, and working with practitioners. With dramatic lifestyle, dietary, emotional and environmental changes, I slowly began to heal.

Though tough, this journey gave me invaluable knowledge about the body, mind, and emotions, inspiring me to help others on similar paths. I realized I had a gift for retaining health information and began working as a health coach after completing a Holistic Lifestyle Coaching course through the CHEK Institute. Eventually, I enrolled in a Clinical Nutrition degree to deepen my expertise.

More recently, my wife and I embarked on our fertility journey, focusing on detoxification and health optimization. After two years of heavy metal detoxes, gut protocols, and lifestyle changes, Erin became pregnant on our first try at age 37, and enjoyed a symptom-free pregnancy. We had a beautiful home birth, which further fueled our passion for family and fertility health, shaping the direction of our practice toward "Whole family health, from a whole family."

Today, I’m healthier, more focused, and driven than ever. My mission is to be the best integrative clinical nutritionist for those facing struggles similar to mine. I believe the human body is complex, requiring a holistic approach. I specialize in sports nutrition, gut health, detoxification, nutrigenomics, the endocrine system, nutraceuticals, biohacking, the mind-body connection, and addressing childhood trauma.

I am incredibly blessed to have my clinical wing woman, wifey, best friend and extremely proficient Naturopath by my side for this journey.
