In order to reach and maintain optimal levels of health, it is of primary importance that we consume a nutritious and healthful diet, get a sufficient amount of rest and exercise regularly.

David Lerner offers functional nutritional consultations to assist patients in reaching their optimal level of wellness. He treats a wide variety of health concerns with a focus on supporting patients undergoing conventional cancer treatment, hormonal imbalances in men and women, as well as various digestive, skin, immune, mood, weight and gynecological disorders.  He is passionate about combining the innate wisdom of Oriental medicine with evidence based nutritional/botanical protocols customized to meet each patient’s specific biochemical needs.  David works very closely with Dr. Hirsch (in fact, Dr Hirsch will come in at the end of the visit to discuss the plan) in utilizing state of the art lab analysis to help assist in creating a targeted wellness protocol.

David has been a passionate student of various nutrition philosophies for over 20 years. David’s nutritional advice is based on his training in whole food and functional nutrition. He has been particularly influenced by the teachings of Dianna Schwarzbein, MD, Donnie Yance, CN, MH, RH (AHG), Datis Kharrazian, DC, D.H.Sc.,MS, Loren Cordain, Don Matesz and Rachel Albert and many of the philosophies of the Weston A. Price Foundation. He doesn’t believe that we can get optimal nutrition from diet alone, and he advocates for various nutritional supplements and herbs in an effort to create the optimal diet for each individual.
