ALWAYS
AHEAD OF
THE MARKET.

I build the maps, standards, and evidence infrastructure that complex fields need before the market knows to ask for them.

00 / FOUNDER SIGNALS

NINE PLATFORMS.
ONE SYSTEMS-LEVEL METHOD.

Each is an operating thesis: identify missing infrastructure, assemble the evidence, and build it.

01 / THE WORK

I TURN COMPLEX SYSTEMS
INTO USABLE SIGNALS.

My work sits where emerging science, standards, public understanding, and institution-building overlap.

01 / MICROBIAL METALLOMICS

Find the interaction everyone else is measuring separately.

Metals reshape microbial communities, microbial communities transform metals, and both alter health. The useful signal lives in the system—not one isolated variable.

OPEN DOSSIER ↗
02 / HEAVY-METAL STANDARDS

Turn fragmented evidence into standards people can actually use.

Category-specific limits, ALARA principles, transparent sourcing, and testing protocols designed to make safer decisions possible.

OPEN DOSSIER ↗
03 / MICROBIOME SIGNATURES

Map disease ecosystems without pretending one microbe explains them.

Condition-specific patterns, evidence triangulation, and research frameworks for a field where context changes the meaning of every result.

CALLSIGN / THE ORACLE

Fred Hart called her “The Oracle.”

Not for guessing. For seeing the connected system early—and leaving a timestamp.
  1. R–0012009

    Founded the Paleo Foundation before there was a market to certify.

  2. R–0022012

    Documented FMT for celiac disease four years before the first case report.

  3. R–0032020

    Forecast prebiotics at Pepsi; the direction was publicly confirmed in 2026.

  4. R–0042025

    Only non-PhD among 150 attendees at the Beneficial Microbes Conference.

  5. R–0052026

    Published Microbiome Medicine Journal, Volume I, with five Parkinson’s papers.

04 / ORIGIN — WHY THE SYSTEM EXISTS
“THE MOST IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE HAS TO EXIST BEFORE THE MARKET ASKS FOR IT.”

In 2012, a desperate search for an answer led to an at-home fecal microbiota transplant for celiac disease—four years before the first comparable case report. The result was not a victory lap. It was a lifelong question: what other crucial connections are visible, but not yet organized?
