I'm a functional nutritionist (MS, FNTP, CGP) specializing in gut health, food sensitivities, and autoimmune conditions, integrating clinical nutrition science with a biblical worldview.

My focus includes intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), the gut microbiome, blood‑sugar balance, and gluten‑free and elimination diets that are realistic for everyday life. I make complex health information understandable and provide clear, actionable natural solutions. I'm available for expert commentary on digestive health, inflammation, autoimmunity, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), the gut microbiome, gluten-free and dairy-free diet, elimination diets, faith and wellness, and practical, evidence‑informed nutrition strategies for real people and families.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jeffrey Mark, M.D., a gastroenterologist and functional medicine expert with over 30 years helping people just like you get back to feeling their best. I've dedicated my life to fixing gut health issues, balancing hormones, and tackling heart and energy problems from the root cause—not just masking symptoms with endless meds. My own story started young: At age 10, a bad infection from travel nearly took my life due to a wrong antibiotic, sparking my passion to help others avoid that pain. Later, in my 40s, I battled fatigue, weight gain, high blood pressure, and brain fog from heavy metals and mold toxicity. Using functional and regenerative medicine, I healed myself and now share those tools with you. I earned my B.S. in Neurophysiology from Northwestern University, my M.D. from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, did my internal medicine residency at Northwestern, and specialized in gastroenterology at Chicago Medical School. I'm also certified in medical acupuncture from UCLA and 5X board-certified in functional medicine, anti-aging and regenerative medicine, gastroenterology, obesity medicine, and internal medicine. This lets me blend the best of traditional care with cutting-edge therapies like peptides, PRP, exosomes, and personalized plans. At The Real Gut Doctor, my focus is you: We create custom diets, supplements, and lifestyle tweaks to restore your vitality, mental sharpness, and joy. Whether it's beating IBS, colitis, or low energy, I've guided countless patients to ditch meds, heal after surgery, and live fuller lives. No extreme diets or guesswork—just real results. If you're tired of feeling off and ready for change, let's chat. Visit therealgutdoctor.com or book a discovery call—I'm here to empower you every step of the way!

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and Certified Personal Trainer with a telehealth private practice specializing in diabetes management, pre-diabetes prevention, weight management, and PCOS. My clinical expertise spans Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, and cardiometabolic health. I am one of a small number of practitioners who holds both the RD and CDCES credentials alongside a personal training certification — allowing me to address nutrition, glucose management, and exercise strategy as a single integrated plan rather than three separate referrals. I have a particular focus on the Asian and Asian American community, where Type 2 diabetes is significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Asian individuals develop insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes at lower body weights than standard screening guidelines typically account for — meaning many Asian patients are told their numbers are "fine" long after their metabolic health has begun to shift. As a Taiwanese and Hong Kongese practitioner fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, I provide culturally informed care that meets clients where they are — including nutrition guidance built around Chinese, Taiwanese, and Cantonese food traditions rather than asking clients to abandon the foods that are central to their culture and family life. I am available to comment on topics including: Blood sugar management and glucose pattern interpretation CGM (continuous glucose monitor) use and data literacy GLP-1 medications — nutritional considerations and muscle preservation Pre-diabetes reversal and prevention strategies Diabetes and exercise — including resistance training and cardio's effect on glucose PCOS and insulin resistance Medical nutrition therapy and the role of the RD in diabetes care Disordered eating and complicated relationships with food in the context of chronic illness Diabetes risk in Asian and Asian American populations — why standard BMI cutoffs miss the mark Culturally informed nutrition care for Chinese, Taiwanese, and Cantonese communities Bilingual nutrition counseling in Mandarin and Cantonese Telehealth nutrition care and multi-state practice Weight management without restriction Available for: quotes, expert commentary, podcast interviews, article contributions, and media features — in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese.

Dr. Shiv Goel, MD is a board-certified physician and the founder of Prime Vitality Care, a physician-led functional medicine and wellness clinic based in San Antonio, Texas, with telehealth services available to patients in all 50 states. Dr. Goel trained in internal medicine and functional and integrative medicine, and has spent his career building a practice model that treats the root causes of poor health rather than managing symptoms in isolation. His clinical philosophy is grounded in the understanding that hormones, metabolism, inflammation, gut health, and mental well-being are deeply interconnected systems — and that lasting health improvements require addressing all of them together. Prime Vitality Care specializes in physician-supervised GLP-1 medical weight loss programs using semaglutide and tirzepatide, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men, peptide therapy including Sermorelin, BPC-157, and PT-141, and comprehensive functional medicine consultations for patients with chronic fatigue, gut dysfunction, autoimmune concerns, and metabolic disease. Dr. Goel is a sought-after expert on the clinical application of GLP-1 therapies, the role of hormonal imbalance in weight resistance, and the future of physician-led telehealth medicine. He speaks regularly to the gap between what conventional medicine offers patients with metabolic dysfunction and what a root-cause, functional approach can deliver when the right diagnostics and time are applied. Through Prime Vitality Care's HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, Dr. Goel brings the same standard of clinical depth and personalization to patients nationwide that San Antonio patients have relied on in person — with lab coordination through local Quest Diagnostics or CPL sites and all prescriptions compounded and shipped directly to patients.

## Dr. Tim Scott Dr. Tim Scott isn't your typical physician. After a decade in emergency medicine witnessing the devastating consequences of metabolic dysfunction firsthand, he realized a hard truth: our healthcare system excels at crisis management but fails miserably at preventing disease. As the founder of Rixa Health, Dr. Scott has pioneered an approach to medicine that looks beyond symptoms to address the root causes of today's most prevalent health issues. His expertise in metabolic health, functional medicine, and cutting-edge therapeutics has helped thousands of patients reclaim their health after years of being told their lab work was "normal" despite feeling terrible. Known for his direct, no-nonsense approach, Dr. Scott combines advanced medical knowledge with practical solutions that work in real life, not just in textbooks. He specializes in reversing metabolic disorders, optimizing hormonal health, and using peptide therapies to address complex health challenges that conventional medicine often misses. Dr. Scott is passionate about empowering patients through education, believing that understanding your body is the first step to healing it. When he's not transforming patients' health, he's advancing the field through education, speaking engagements, and training the next generation of metabolic health practitioners.

Lola shares her unique approach to women’s wellness and leadership with audiences worldwide, advising companies and delivering corporate workshops and private trainings that highlight the power of cyclical living and the benefits of integrating it into every aspect of personal and professional life. Lola’s Mission For years, Lola lived disconnected from her body — constantly doing, producing, and pushing for more, while silently struggling with symptoms her body was begging her to listen to: acne, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, low libido, and a deep sense that something wasn’t right. She tried countless “solutions” that only masked the problem — until she discovered a radically different way of living: in harmony with her cycle, her energy, and her natural rhythm. From that transformation, Radiance was born — first as Lola’s personal journey, and now as a growing movement. Through her book, podcast, and flagship programs, Lola’s mission is to help women reconnect with their bodies, embrace their cyclical nature, and unlock the power that already lives within them, so they can feel radiant, fulfilled, and limitless in every area of their lives. Your cycle is your superpower.
