I delight in empowering my patients to manage their acute and chronic disease through application of lifestyle interventions such as whole food plant-based diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, avoiding risky behaviors, and connection.  I am pursuing professional certification in lifestyle medicine with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and I am actively involved in my community by giving presentations on plants as medicine and the role that animal production plays in climate change and the environment.  I am particularly interested in outreach to the Hispanic community, as many members have chronic diseases but no access to health insurance and limited resources. 

Dr. Jennifer Lyons has provided eye care in Portland and Seaside, Oregon, for more than 20 years. She sees adults and children, providing routine eye and vision exams, cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, macular degeneration care, diabetic exams, eyelid surgery and more. Lyons Eye Care prescribes contact lenses and can fill your glasses prescription in our optical shop. 
Dr. Lyons realized her lifelong dream of living in the Northwest when she was accepted for ophthalmology training at Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University. Graduating early from Indiana University School of Medicine, she hurried to Oregon with her Siberian husky to explore and backpack before entering training. She never looked back, embracing the Oregon outdoors by hiking, biking, and running in all weathers.
 
 

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.

I have personally followed a whole food, plant-based diet for the last two decades and have over time gotten most of my family to follow along most of the time.  I have helped many patients improve and sometimes reverse their diabetes, atherosclerosis, arthritis, cancers and mood disorders by adopting an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, high fiber, high nutrition density, low calorie density, whole food, plant based diet.
As the founding Program Director for the DeTar/Texas A&M Family Medicine Residency program, I train 24 soon to be Board Certified Family Medicine specialists to understand the primacy of patient lifestyle choices in managing and reversing the majority of ailments that plague Americans today. 

I was chronically ill for over a decade. A whole-food plant-based diet was instrumental in my recovery so I know first hand that food truly is powerful medicine! Maybe you’re experiencing health concerns yourself and want to transition to a plant-based diet to support your body’s innate ability to heal. Or maybe you’re healthy and want to maintain your good state – a very admirable and important objective. In either case, I’m passionate about helping folks like you reach and exceed your goals. As a holistic nutritionist, plant-based coach, herbalist, and energy healer my tool box is packed with resources to help bring your dreams into reality. I am comfortable supporting recovery from many health conditions through a balanced plant-based diet coupled with the judicious use of herbs and energy healing as appropriate. The healing power of nature, laughter, and movement are also important.

I have been a supporter of Forks over Knives and The Plantrician Project for the past seven years. I have a Certification in Clinical Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Foundation through eCornell University. As a practicing pediatrician I have witnessed the obesity epidemic growing over the past 43 years and feel strongly that we can control this, as well as the “adult” diseases of heart disease and diabetes through the widespread use of whole food, plant-based nutrition for our population.
 
Dr. Flug is also a specialist in whole food-plant based nutrition in medicine and lifestyle medicine. He holds a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from the T.

I have always been vegetarian but for the past 7 years, I have gone completely plant-based after understanding its health benefits.   I strive to bring this knowledge to my patients, friends, and family every day in order for them to know that food really is medicine and that many of our chronic diseases can be controlled and even reversed with the right nutrition.   I have been in practice for 12 years and previously working in a hospital, I have seen how diseases can progress and reduce the quality of life.  Through ARGOW Health I hope to bring the information I have learned through my 7-year journey to all my patients and so that they can live happy healthy lives free of diseases.

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!
