## About Dr. Angelo Falcone

Angelo Falcone, MD has practiced medicine for more than 30 years. He spent 25 years as an emergency physician in Maryland, founding and leading an emergency medicine group that grew to care for approximately 500,000 patients annually across three states. He later completed a Fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine in San Diego, and founded Dignity Integrative.

His editorial perspective is consistent across his writing: skeptical of absolutist health claims from both conventional and functional medicine, committed to citing primary research, transparent about conflicts of interest, and focused on nutrition, movement, sleep and stress as the foundation of chronic disease care.
