I am an interventional cardiologist with an interest in complex and structural interventional cardiology, adult congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.  However, my long time passion is in the prevention, treatment and reversal of heart disease through diet and lifestyle interventions.  I have been a strong advocate for a Whole-Food, Plant-Based diet for my patients (and myself) for several years.  I completed the eCornell certificate program in Plant-Based Nutrition at the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in April 2018 and hope to bring greater awareness of these powerful benefits to patients and practitioners in the community.

Hi! I’m a Board-Certified Dermatologist and Lifestyle Medicine-Certified Physician Specialist practicing in Manhattan, NYC. I am also certified in Integrative Dermatology and a double-certified Life and Transformational Mindset Coach! I studied design and visual arts at Harvard College, where I graduated magna cum laude, and then went on to get both my M.D. and my Master’s Degree in Public Health at Columbia University. The great joy of my life and career right now is combining my love of aesthetics (visual arts), investigative medicine (figuring out what’s really wrong), building and working with my hands (sculpture, your aesthetic treatments), whole food plant based way-of-life education, and helping people really investigate their own minds and habits to break out of the ruts we create for ourselves and transform into the joyful, goal achieving, vital creatures we want to be. I do this work both in my private practice (seeing dermatology patients who either LIVE in New York state or come to see me personally in New York–with telemedicine follow up available) and in my separate coaching practice which allows me to work with clients from anywhere, as long as we are not discussing personal medical advice or dermatology advice (sorry!). Please…. reach out and let me help! Dermatology and potential dermatology patients: Find me at ArtofDermatology.com (and get onto my email list there). Coaching, plant-curious, healthy antiaging, healthy lifestyle, mindset-interested folks who want to follow my educational material (free) or potentially become coaching clients, sign up at JessicaKrant.com!

I’m a consultant pediatrician and Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto. I completed my pediatric residency at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Prior to medical school I completed a Masters in Health Policy Planning and Finance from the London School of Economics and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Currently I work for the Scarborough Health Network and founder of Reset Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine Clinic. I have completed the Plant Based Certificate program through the T Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at Cornell University. I have spoken on multiple phyisician panels focusing on plant based nutrition for a pediatric population and lifestyle principles. I’m passionate about promoting a culture of wellness and resilience within physician and trainee communities through medical improv, meditation and plant-based nutrition.  My plant based journey started as a child from my mom, a life long vegetarian who impressed upon me the principles of plant based eating. It wasn’t until sixteen years ago though I wholeheartedly adopted a plant-based diet to improve my meditation practice and live an eco-friendly lifestyle. After years of trial, error and refinement I have been reaping the many physical, mental and spiritual benefits of this lifestyle transformation. As a result, I have developed an approach that I have been sharing with children and families to embody a family centred approach. In the spirit of prevention as an approach for children, I advocate to help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and fewer asthma flares all through a plant based diet. Having worked with numerous families I am passionate and confident in giving children and their families the best fuel for their wellbeing to maximize their potential.
