Read more…I was trained at LAC-USC completing the following: Â Internal Medicine Residency, Nutrition Fellowship (where I managed a diabetic ward for 3 years, did research in Nutrition, and was the director of a weight loss clinic for many years while I completed the following fellowships and residencies: Â Pulmonary/Critical Care Fellowship, Anesthesia Residency, and Challenged the Pain Boards.) Â As I progressed through my career and took on the care of my aging parents I realized that I did not want to suffer from some of their health problems. Â I began to read more and more about nutrition and realized that many of the questions that we had during my nutrition fellowship now had real answers. Â Excellent studies now existed that revealed most if not all chronic diseases and many cancers had their origin in poor nutrtion. Â My prior eating habits mirrored the Standard American Diet as did my developing chronic diseases…Hypertension, Elevated Lipids, possibly Pre-Diabetes, Artherosclerois, Cardiac Arrythmias, and Obesity. Â While taking care of my aging parents I did cerebral MRI studies on them and both had small cerebral infarcts too numerous to count. Â As I read more and more and after attending my first Plantrician Program, I decided overnight to switch my eating profile from the SAD (Standard American Diet) to a Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition lifestyle. Â My chronic diseases melted away. Â While I continue practice anesthesia and interventional pain medicine, I have been enhancing my plant-based medical care to both my patients and others that are interested. Â All of the patients that I come in contact with receive nutritional advice and care along with the care they originally came for. Â For those that take to heart my nutritional advice and care, the results are nice. Â
