I am a registered Dietitian & Nutritionist who specialises in plant-based nutrition and vegan lifestyles. My journey into plant-based nutrition began shortly after having my first child. I now have three healthy plant-based children and my passion is helping you to succeed on your own journey towards a plant-based diet. After my five years of study at university, I was confused about some of the foods I was recommending to my patients so I begain researching about animal products. I was stunned by what I found. After years of furthering education in the field of plant-based nutrition, I am 100% confident that whole foods plant-based eating is the optinal way to eat for disease prevention, treatment and for general health and well-being. I look forward to helping you on your journey towards a healthier future.

As the Lead Consultant at Nutraceutical Health Solutions, I am resolute about the ability of plant-based nutrition in reversing disease conditions.  Participated in summits of the World Health Organisation and United Nations on Childhood Obesity as we promote the adoption of clean and healthy diets for all children of school age. I have seen several conditions improved through plant-based nutrition. 

My story begins back when I was a teenager watching Michael Johnson in the 1996 Olympic Games. Like most teenagers, I was excited to watch new world records set by some of the greatest athletes in the world. But what mesmerized me was not the gold medals…
 
It was the pure potential of the human body.
 
(Kind of nerdy, I know).
 
Since that time, I’ve spent the majority of my life searching for ways to optimize how our bodies function – not exactly what they teach in medical school.
 
This means I had to search for answers across many disciplines. I’ve worked as an athletic trainer, studied advanced clinical nutrition, researched and published on dietary supplements, and mastered the art of cooking.
 
And all these things have resulted in some pretty incredible experiences along the way, like lecturing alongside my mentor Dr. Andrew Weil and traveling the world as an elite-level athlete.
 
Of course, this journey was never about optimizing my performance alone. It was about empowering others to do the same for themselves.

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.

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.
