While Dr. Cassaro was still in residency training, at the prestigious Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans, he began to notice that people almost never have just one problem. He remembers conversations with his fellow residents about how problems seem to come as "package deals". The components of the package were predictable. They were usually the same. Over the past twenty five years, Dr. Cassaro has been researching the metabolic relationships that link the associated problems.
