Your First and Last Name: Sandra Musial MD
About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.: Sandra has been a physician for over 25 years, now specializing in Food as Medicine, dedicated to preserving health and reversing lifestyle-related chronic disease through whole, plant-based nutrition. Sandy co-founded and runs the nonprofit Plant Docs as an avenue for adults to learn about the power of plant-based nutrition to improve health. Sandy studied Nutritional Sciences in college then earned her MD degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Sandy worked in a primary care practice, taught residents at the medical school at Brown University, and started an Obesity Clinic. Though she has witnessed the healing power of conventional medicine, she has also seen its limitations, especially with regard to disease prevention through healthy nutrition. She obtained the following additional training: a Culinary Coaching certificate from Harvard’s CHEF Coaching program, a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from eCornell, and a Health Coaching certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Sandy is board certified in Pediatrics, Obesity Medicine, and is in the process of becoming board certified in Lifestyle Medicine. Â
List Special Services You Offer: Through Plant Docs, Dr. Musial created and runs several programs. Our signature program is a 4-week plant-based immersion called Jumpstart Your Health! This course provides the education and tools to successfully transition to a plant-based lifestyle. We order labs before and after so you can see the powerful impact that changing your diet can have in just one month. We have seen participants lower their LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, reverse diabetes and fatty liver, decrease inflammation, and lose weight.
We also offer a fully remote Foods to Fight Cancer cooking and education course that includes information on the most studied anti-cancer foods and how to cook a meal using these ingredients. We have monthly remote Plant-Based Global Cuisine cooking classes so you can stay planted in the Plant Docs Community while learning new cooking techniques and flavor combinations.
