Hi, I'm Peter
I am a passionate advocate for health, grounded in the belief that true wellness is achievable through simple, intentional changes. Certified by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board as a Quantum Biology Practitioner and in Photobiomodulation by Thor Laser, I guide individuals in unlocking their body's innate healing potential.
As a software engineer, I specialize in developing wellness apps that combine practical tools with actionable insights. My goal is to make transformative wellness accessible to all, empowering individuals to take charge of their own health. One of my key contributions is the "Sunlight is Life" app, which celebrates the sun's vital role in sustaining life.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a musician and composer who draws inspiration from nature, which fuels my creativity and my sense of purpose. I am always up for any adventure that deepens this bond, it is intricately woven into my life and work. As an entrepreneur, I continue to channel these interests and a boundless curiosity into tools and services that help people take control of their health.
My Journey Back to Health
I was a healthy kid. I rarely ever got sick—going whole school years without taking a sick day—though I started struggling with insomnia around age 7. In my late teens, an antibiotic for acne triggered a long health decline. I became severely depressed, isolated myself, and began getting frequent sinus infections that caused pain through my whole body. My energy dropped—I fatigued quickly and relied on coffee to function.
Several years later, a work-related back injury worsened things. It led to chronic pain and limited mobility. Soon thereafter, a mono infection led to severe acid reflux, rashes, worsened insomnia, and system-wide inflammation that eventually triggered a repetitive stress injury that limited basic tasks like opening doors and holding a glass of water. Years of physical therapy eventually stabilized me at a fragile but manageable level, which lasted nearly a decade.
The birth of my first daughter in 2009 upended that. I developed panic disorder, adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, candida overgrowth, ADHD symptoms, plantar fasciitis, and profound exhaustion. What made things worse was that every time I went to the doctor, my labs returned "normal," and they would offer me some prescription that may have helped a little in the short term, but always seemed to lead to some other new problem. I became determined to identify root causes to put an end to my suffering.
From 2010 onward, I tested diets, exercise programs, herbs, supplements, stress-reduction techniques, and alternative therapies. I saw temporary gains, but symptoms always eventually returned.
In 2019, after sinus surgery and losing my job, I gave up and let go. Instead, I took a break from all of my protocols for two months. I spent the summer outside, got plenty of sun, played in the rivers, and back home I turned off my internet and went to bed as soon as it got dark out, but changed nothing else. And I started to get better. This revealed to me how my home and work environment had been hindering my recovery. Adjusting these created lasting momentum, allowing other interventions to succeed where they had not in the past.
I wasn't completely out of the weeds, though. An adverse vaccine reaction caused severe gut issues, but my improved foundation turned it into a minor detour—I resolved it quickly. Later, nervous system dysregulation from unresolved trauma reignited the insomnia. It reminded me that the mind and body are one, and healing requires addressing both.
Today, I'm in peak health. My personal experience with chronic illness guides my work helping others build sustainable wellness through targeted environmental and behavioral changes.
