Dr. Bandana Chawla is a board certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. She graduated from UT Southwestern Medical School and completed her residency training at the Texas Medical Center. She has been practicing as an internist in the Houston area for over 20 years. Over the years she has incorporated the tenets of Lifestyle Medicine (LM) into her practice and has seen her patients lose weight, improve their diabetes and several other health conditions. To build on this success, she co-created lifestyledocs.com practice which focuses on eating the right types of food, being fit, reducing stress, and connecting more to achieve holistic wellness. She is also the co-founder of Peaceful Planet Foundation, 501c3 nonprofit, which fosters Peace, Health and Wellness in Houston and the surrounding communities.

Dr. Mary Washington has practice in Houston for 25 years. BC in Internal Medicine and Nephrology for 15+ years. She became frustrated with this style of practice and left her group in 2016 to develop the Reversing Medical Disease Clinic. With her RMD program , the first year she has been able to improve her clients kidney function, safely help clients control BP without medications and even cured some of their diabetes which is more than she has done as a 25 year ‘legalized drug pusher’. “I am tired of placing people on dialysis machines”…says Dr. Washington.

I have found that often nutrition impacts disease symptoms quite often and I see this even more so as a doctor that treat common gynecologic conditions that are often influenced by diet. I love working with patients to help this discover the healing nature of their own bodies when provided with the correct building blocks in proper nutrition.
