Bio
Justin is a clinician and independent scholar with a private practice specializing in stress, immunity, fertility, and gastroenterology. Justin was raised on a small family farm along the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois, where he learned the importance of such things as slow cooking, mindful eating habits, and regular family mealtimes.
In addition to practicing medicine Justin wears a number of different hats. Several times a year he trades out his medical jacket for his forester's gear to direct operations at Three Hawk Ridge, a sustainable agroforestry farm in Illinois producing American ginseng and Chinese herbal medicines. In 2008 Justin founded Su Wu Herbs, a Chinese herbal compounding pharmacy, and most mornings he can be found in the herb room preparing prescription formulas for TCM practitioners in Southern California. In 2012 Justin joined his good friend Stephen Dowe, one of America's top rated chefs, to launch AcroAma Blends brand of gourmet handcrafted organic seasonings.
