As a plant based health coach and health educator I would be honored to work with you. Whether you’re new to being plant based, tried it before, or need some support with a health challenge, I can assist you in achieving your health goals. I was vegetarian for 17 years before becoming plant based vegan 5 years ago and experiencing great health and life transformations. I am experienced working with diets customized and tailored to support reversal of diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, deficiencies.
I can offer a variety of support to help you to reach your health goals and I am a strong advocate for using food as medicine. I can help you to set health goals and work with you to help you achieve them. Examples could include finding or customizing nourishing plant based recipes based on your health conditions, taste/food preferences, time/ lifestyle and budget, shopping assistance, ingredient support, cooking, nutrition guidance for a variety of health issues, provide a knowledge base and research articles for questions or concerns you may have, juicing/smoothie recipe support, detoxing support, etc. I’m a mother of 3 and am great at helping find creative ways to fit in a plant based lifestyle despite a very busy lifestyle.

I am a board-certified cardiologist and health coach with over 25 years of experience caring for people with heart disease. After working for many years to diagnose and treat heart disease, I now focus on prevention. I practice Integrative Cardiology in person at my Monument, Colorado clinic and through telehealth in several states. I employ the latest advanced lab testing and diagnostic imaging to formulate an assessment of the client’s cardiac risk. Then, I use those findings to create a personalized plan using the Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, which includes a whole-food, plant-based diet, to help people achieve holistic health. I am passionate about helping people prevent and reverse heart disease so they can enjoy a long, fulfilling life in good health.

Dr. Chong is a licensed naturopathic physician with postgraduate training with Drs. Caldwell Esselstyn, Drs. Joel Kahn and Mark Houston at the Academy of Anti-aging Medicine, and Drs. Amy Doneen and Brad Bale at BaleDoneen.com. More than anything else, he considers himself a “nutritional angiologist.” In other words, via the power of nutrition and lifestyle medicine, he helps people obtain and maintain the highest level of arterial health and subsequently the lowest level of heart attack and stroke risk, possible for their individual circumstances.

He is also highly trained in advanced cardiovascular disease risk assessment and uses the latest tools and understanding available to help people truly understand their current level of vascular health so that they can know best what they need to do, and also, most importantly, how their body is responding to the treatments they are doing.

In 2013, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition called relapsing polychondritis.  On the basis of extensive research, I rejected my doctor’s orders and eschewed the perils of corticosteroid treatment, instead choosing a path of changing my diet and lifestyle.  
 
I switched to a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet that not only reversed my autoimmune condition, but also improved my health in countless other ways.   Based on the statistics, I was supposed to be either bedridden or dead by now, but instead I am alive and well — and medication-free!  
 
These positive changes inspired me to study nutrition-based health further, to the point where it has become an obsession of mine.

At Coastal Vitality MD, I work with people who want to lose excess weight, prevent or reverse chronic disease, or simply promote health and longevity.  Using a customized combination of powerful lifestyle tools — especially whole food plant-based nutrition — supplemented by weight loss medication when appropriate, I help each of my clients live their healthiest life.

I am devoted to addressing the ever increasing prevalence of chronic conditions in our population. I grew frustrated over the years with how chronic conditions are approached in our current healthcare paradigm. I sought further training in areas such as lifestyle medicine, obesity medicine, plant-based nutrition, health coaching, and adopted a new approach by combining this knowledge. After transforming my own health, I decided it was time to offer this approach to my patients as well. I am grateful to have found similarly minded peers in healthcare, who continue to inspire and teach me through sharing experiences and knowledge. Finding opportunities to learn and grow is one of my favorite things to do, and when I feel the most alive. I am excited to announce that very soon I will be opening the doors to my passion project: The Healthy Conditions clinic.
