Bio

CEO of BIOHM Health


I have spent my career taking scientific innovations and turning them into innovative companies, products and testing services.

I’ve done that through my own companies and brands, as well as licensing IP to companies around the world. My products and technologies have been sold in over 100,000 retail stores, online and by noted medical institutions, such as the Cleveland Clinic. Our data and testing companies have partnered with some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world.

- Secured a book deal for his book, Total Gut Balance, a diet book around optimizing gut fungi

- Secured press for Dr Ghannoum in hundreds of outlets from NPR, and the Wall Street Journal, to Women’s Health, Goop, MindBodyGreen and Goop.

- Launched DrMicrobiome.com, his personal platform reaching tens of thousands of consumers a month
