Greetings
While treating patients in the United States, as an emergency medicine physician, I realized that nearly 70% of the illnesses seen were associated with preventable lifestyle choices. Chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and indeed even 30-50% of cancers are considered to be preventable. Wanting to prevent and improve patient conditions with these chronic illnesses, I developed an interest in lifestyle medicine, and became certified as a Master Health and Wellness Coach.
After returning to Japan in 2014, I created a Health and Wellness coaching program. I am involved in researching the relationship between lifestyle and disease onset, particularly in relation to the immune system and cancer. I am passionate about bringing these preventable lifestyle changes to our clients to prevent illnesses and to better the health and outcome of our cancer patients.
