Hey there,
I’m Sid
Welcome to my blog, where I merge my roles as a board-certified internal medicine physician and cardiology fellow with my passion for prevention and longevity. I’ll share cutting-edge research that I’ve come across, simplifying complex concepts and offering (hopefully) practical advice on improving cardiovascular/metabolic health. I may will also occasionally ramble on about medical training and the frustrations of modern-day medicine.
Thanks for stopping by!
