Personal Details

Bio

I am a board certified obstetrician/gynecologist with 30 years of clinical experience in diagnosing and treating women’s health issues. I am a former Chief of Staff of Trinity Hospital in Augusta, Georgia as well as a former head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at that hospital. In 1994 I was awarded the National Focus on Patient Education Award by the American College of Ob-Gyn for my innovative patient education program on menopause, and have been listed in “America’s Best Doctors” for the past ten years.

I am the author of three books, “Holy Hormones”, “Healthy Habits for a Fit Family” from Bethany House Publishers and, most recently, “A Woman’s Guide To Hormone Health” also from Bethany House. I have authored numerous magazine articles in such publications as New Man Magazine and The Godly Businesswoman. For the past ten years I have written a monthly column in the Augusta Family Magazine on women's health. My newest E-book is “One Life: A Parable of Healing”.

I have appeared on numerous national TV and radio shows such as Life Today with James Robison, Moody radio, and Janet Parshall’s America discussing and commenting on the health issues of the day.

Expanding on my love of fitness and healthy lifestyle choices I serve as a clinical advisor to the American Running and Fitness Association and have completed 69 marathons and half marathons on three continents.

Sense, Shape, and Soul, the Three Amigos. A Guide to Health in Mind, Body, and Spirit

Health and wellness is a balance of mind, body, and spirit. Any disruption in any of these affects the others, and to achieve true health at any age requires both an understanding and plan. In this talk, I give practical tools for implementing healthy behaviors while keeping the attendees entertained and engaged.

Running on Empty. How exercise and running saved my life.

As a harried medical student, I learned that my survival, mentally and academically, was tied to staying physically active. This use of running has continued throughout my life as I have covered three continents and 69 marathons and half marathons. Filled with hilarious anecdotes of running and stressing, this presentation is designed to motivate and entertain.

Keeping the Tribe Trim. Weight Loss Family Style

Drawing from my book, Healthy Habits for Fit Families, this talk emphasizes the key role parents play in fostering healthy lifestyle practices. Most of us know this already but aren't sure how to implement this on a daily basis. I tell you specifically how you can break the chain of generational poor health choices and leave a legacy of good health.

How to win the Battle of the Bulge and not kill anyone in the process.

I have helped over 200 clients lose weight and keep it off with a plan that is simple, effective, and healthy. It's a comprehensive program but begins above the neck with education, motivation, and self-awareness. This presentation provides a template for losing weight and tools for keeping it off, all while promoting long-term health and wellness.
