About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.: Thank you Drs Campbell, Esselstyn, Greger, Barnard, Ornish and others for providing the high quality literature that enlightened me to the undeniable healing power of plant-based nutrition for cardiovascular diseases. Thank you Dr Kim Willams for bringing it to the forefront of topics at American College of Cardiology. And thank you to my many patients who have shown me the actual real case examples of the amazing results as they have embraced the proven benefits of a whole food plant based diet and made life altering changes to their diet and eating habits. My knowing them and their testimonies has meant the world to me, and has helped me be a more complete physician. And opened my mind to a new universe of knowledge. Â The exploding wonder of our microbiome is next!!
