I’m Ari, an interventional radiologist specializing in men’s health, dad to three, husband to Lara, and functional medicine advocate. Sometimes, I rap.
Just a year ago, at 44 years old, I was working full-time as a physician, trying to be a good husband and father to three kids under ten. I thought I was in good health. I ate pretty well, I thought, and exercised a couple of times a week, but I had put on a few pounds. I had chronic acid reflux, for which I had taken medication for 20 years. And my blood pressure was creeping up. I often fell asleep at 5 pm while reading to my kids, only to stay up most of the night sleepless with blood pressure problems. I felt OLD and tired.
I went to see my primary care doctor, and he suggested I start blood pressure medication. As I was leaving his office, a thought hit me pretty hard: I was about to start another medication that I would likely be on for the rest of my life! This was really depressing.
My wife, too, was in search of answers for her chronic health challenges and sent me some functional medicine articles. I started to do a deep dive into what I could do to help my body work better; I read books, listened to podcasts, and looked up scientific papers. I discovered that my symptoms were all related and that I could combat aging by making lifestyle changes.
I changed my diet, started exercising differently, focused on getting better sleep, learned to manage stress better, did key testing, started the right supplements for my body, and reduced my exposure to toxins.
In a short time, I got better. I got my life back.
