      <image:title>About - Hi, I’m Doug Jaser</image:title>
      <image:caption>I began my career interested in creativity and consciousness, studying art and literature in undergrad. I was drawn to work that expressed perspectives I believed were true and valuable, even where they weren't yet widely accepted. During my junior year, my father had a stroke. It reset how I saw the world. Working with him and the medical team through his recovery, one question stuck with me: the doctors were focused on keeping him alive — but staying alive and actually living well aren't the same thing, and nobody seemed to be addressing the second part. That gap is what I've spent my career on since. Most people don't think about their health at all until something forces them to — it's not something they feel is out of reach, it's just not on the radar until it becomes unavoidable. I wanted to help people close that gap before the forcing moment, not scramble to catch up after it. That question shaped the last fifteen years of my work: understanding health through lifestyle, physiology, and the individual person in front of me, not just a chart of symptoms. What's changed more recently is how I do that work. Over the last few years I've built real data analytics skills alongside the clinical side — not because measuring things is the point, but because of what becomes visible once you can actually see the pattern. Which of the changes you're making are the ones actually moving things for you, specifically — not what works in general. Whether how you're feeling really does line up with what you've been doing, or whether something else is driving it. Risks that don't show up in a single conversation, but do show up once you can see a trend. That's the real shift: turning confusion into something clear and visible. I help working professionals who are feeling unsettled by the pace of change around them — career shifts, AI reshaping their industries, a world that feels less predictable than it used to. My approach pairs a steady, consistent presence with a preventive, evidence-grounded system, built to move you from surviving a hard stretch to genuinely thriving again — not by following a template, but by uncovering what's real and true for you. Background: Personal Training certification, Integrative Nutrition Coaching (Institute for Integrative Nutrition), Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, with specializations in digestive health and cognitive-decline-focused health coaching. Health and lifestyle coaching since 2011, including roles at Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy and as Resident Nutrition Coach at Renaissance ClubSport Walnut Creek. I've worked with clients ranging from new mothers to MDs, CEOs of multinational companies. Research: I served on the clinical team for a published precision-medicine study on reversing early cognitive decline, conducted across three sites including Bay Area Wellness in Walnut Creek. Toups, K., Hathaway, A., Gordon, D., et al. (including Dale E. Bredesen). "Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer's Disease: Successful Pilot Project." Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2022. [Read the full paper — open access] Over 9 months, 84% of participants showed cognitive improvement across multiple independent measures, including standardized testing and brain MRI. I'm acknowledged by name in the publication for my clinical contribution. This was a proof-of-concept pilot study — 25 participants, no control group — not a claim that any single protocol is proven. It supported moving forward to a larger randomized controlled trial, which followed. Based in Walnut Creek, CA. Available virtually by phone or video call. Phone: 925-322-0079</image:caption>
