Since going plant based ten years ago, I  have been able to restore my own health and also help my patients wean off medications .  It all started by attending a lecture by T Colin Campbell that showed the link between what you eat and cancer , which has plaqued my family .  So, I was curious to learn more , so I purchased his book : The China Study .  While reading it , I slowly pushed the animal products out off of my plate .  I decided to go full plant based for just a week to see if I could do it .  Then, I kept going  and after one month, I was able to wean off my blood pressure medications and acid reflux medication ( that I used for fifteen years ) .   
 Since then, I have read up to 35 books on the topic of plant based nutrition , regulary listen to plant based podcasts ( Rich Roll, The Exam Room , PBN , No Meat Athlete , PlantStrong ) .  I have attended numerous conferences on plant based medicine and became Board Certified in Lifestyle Medicine in 2019 .
It has changed the way I look at diseases .  Instead of simply prescribing a medication , I start by asking what you had for breakfast .  I have been able to reverse diabetes, hypertension , hyperlipidemia and reduce joint pain , inflammation by removing processed foods , animal products and adding more whole plant foods
