Frizzly

In addition to my writing and clinical work, I moonlight as Frizzly, a vegan hybrid athlete.

I document my fitness activities on Strava, and I ride on Peloton under DoctorFrizzly.

Frizzly serves as my helpful alter ego, symbolizing the competitive drive that lies dormant inside nearly all of us. During college, I channeled this force into a total body conditioning class open to all fitness levels.

I began running in 2012 and, next to adopting a plant-based diet and becoming a physician, I consider the decision to be one of the most momentous in my life.

Running is at once therapeutic, meditative, and fulfills a deep, intrinsic desire to compete.

To date, I’ve completed eight marathons. Below is a record of all races I’ve run. Personal records (PRs) are underlined.
