What’s your favorite thing about your job?

My favorite thing about my job when I read a testimonials from our clients, it’s great feeling to see
someone going through the transformation, changing completely their lifestyle and continuing wellness
program. Here one of hundreds of testimonials that make me love what I do!

“ I was actually looking for someone like Dr. Sentissi and had given up and reverted back to old habbits. I
had retreated back to prescription medication to mask all kinds of symptoms that my body was using to
communicate with me, but because I did not understand who I was as a bio-individual I was trying fads,
losing weight and still feeling exhausted, and the relief from symptoms was always temporary.

After 3 weeks with Dr. Sentissi I lost 13lbs. because my nutritional paradigm had shifted and I was aware of the
impact on my body, mind from the food I was and was not eating! I had real answers that made sense
and remedies that I could understand and were affordable. Now, I’m a certified health coach and on the
team. He totally changed my life for the BEST!”

What are your keys to making yourself productive?

Definitely continuing education and scientific research in technology make the flow of working
environment very productive.

assessment tools and research along with our decades of knowledge and training. As stated in our Core

through the power of community. We leverage group structures for patient education, peer-to-peer
support, and accountability—with both your care team and your fellow health-seekers rooting for your
success.

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned through the course of your career

The course of growth always start when you fail, and believe to the power of the nature.

What advice would you give to others aspiring to succeed in your field?

Every client you coach is a potential door to a new opportunity to learn a new medical case study,
because we are bio-individuals, even they come with the same chief complaints but the cause always
different, be consistent in your work and build good trust in your practice, because you never know how
they’ll be part of the larger picture of your life.

What are your favorite things to do outside of work? Cooking is my passion, Reading and watching documentaries, traveling and enjoying time with my family

Name a few influential books you’ve read and/or websites you keep up with that you’d recommend
to readers.

Imagine if there was a single, elegant solution to the biggest challenges facing healthcare: chronic
disease, escalating costs, physician shortages, care access and affordability, physician burnout,
loneliness, and mental health.
