Your First and Last Name: Maryrose Young, DO DipABLM
About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.:
Dr. Young is an Arizona native who grew up in Cave Creek and now lives in north Scottsdale with her husband, Jon, and four kids. She is a currently practicing, board-certified, Emergency Medicine physician working and is certified as a diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. She graduated medical school from Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale, AZ in 2006 and completed Emergency Medicine residency at Maricopa Medical Center in 2009. She has been practicing for 15 years.
As an Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Young sees patients at their most critical points, frequently on the worst day of their lives.  Her job is to stabilize, rule out life-threatening conditions and treat any acute illnesses. Often what brings patients to the emergency department are things that could have been avoided with lifestyle changes. Heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes are among the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States. Through lifestyle changes, patients are able to significantly reduce their risk for all of these!
Dr. Young loves working in the emergency department but found herself wishing she had more time to spend with patients. When she sees patients in the ED, she can touch briefly on simple things they can do to take charge of their health, but her interactions are limited by time. She is excited to start Sozo Lifestyle Medicine so that she can change her pace, develop relationships with her patients and help support them as they take charge of their health. Through lifestyle interventions that reverse chronic disease as well as her skillset as an Emergency Medicine physician, she will do her best to help her patients stay healthy and out of the emergency department.
Her hope for Sozo is to create a place of community, health, service, life and joy.

About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.:
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 ) .  Â
 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 . Â Instead of simply prescribing a medication , I start by asking what you had for breakfast . Â 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 foodsÂ
