During his undergraduate years he studied environmental science at Columbia University's Biosphere 2 Center in Tucson, Arizona. While learning about the complexity of ecosystems he realized how interconnected life is and how each component of a system, whether organic or inorganic, alive or inanimate, has an effect upon a system as a whole. This is a valuable lesson that he applies to the art of medicine. The human body is very complex with the interactions of many organ systems. Our body can be affected by how we think and what we eat.
