Monica Aggarwal, MD, is an adjunct Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine in the University of Florida Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. She received her medical degree from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and subsequently went on to complete a residency in internal medicine at Tufts-New England Medical Center. She then completed a cardiology fellowship at the University of Maryland and later continued her training at the University of Arizona where she participated in an integrative medicine fellowship.
Dr. Aggarwal’s own path to understanding the impact of nutrition in illness started soon after the birth of her third child, when she developed an advanced form of rheumatoid arthritis. She was placed on medications that gave her severe side effects. It was only through learning about the microbiome (gut), its impact on the immune system and the role of nutrition in affecting the gut, was she able to truly heal. Determined to change the face of medicine, Monica left private practice and returned to academics in order to pursue research on the role of diet and to create an integrative cardiology practice focused on nutrition and lifestyle.
Dr. Aggarwal served as the Director of Integrative Cardiology and Prevention at the University of Florida for 4 ½ years. There, she focused on promoting food as the foundation of healing and for its medicinal value. In her clinic, she emphasizes plant-based nutrition and often performs multiple mind-body techniques with her patients, including yoga and meditation. At University of Florida, she was also the Director of Medical Education for Cardiology, where she directed education for medical residents and cardiology fellows, with a focus on prevention, nutrition, and lifestyle. In the hospital, she has multiple initiatives including developing a 100% plant-based menu for cardiac and vascular patients.
Dr. Aggarwal gives talks around the community and the country. She was named a “Next Generation Innovator” by Cardiology Today. She is often featured in Veg News, Naked Magazine and has been featured in forksoverknives.com. She conducts research on nutrition education in medical institutions and on how a plant-based diet impacts cardiovascular disease. She has published in major medical journals such as Journal of American College of Cardiology and American Journal of Medicine.
Board certified in cardiology, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and advanced lipidology, she is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), where she is a member of the nutrition council working on nutrition policies for the nation. Dr. Aggarwal specializes in preventative management of heart disease with lifestyle techniques in conjunction with medications. She is the author of the book “Body on Fire: How Inflammation Triggers Chronic Illness and the Tools We Have to Fight It,” which outlines prescriptions to help guide people to better health.
She has instituted a new plant-based menu at the University of Florida/Shands Hospital which is receiving national attention along with new discharge education that empowers patients to heal their bodies with their lifestyles. She was recently named Florida’s Cardiovascular Researcher of the year which provided her with a grant to conduct the important research needed on nutrition.
She currently sees patients in Orlando, Florida and via telehealth as part of Wholistic Cardiology and conducts research at the University of Florida.

Read more…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.

Read more…I have seen dramatic clinical and metabolic improvements in multiple patients, friends, and family members in the 2 years since embarking on my own personal journey towards plant based eating. In that time I have become certified in plant based nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and have become a diplomat of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine to expand my knowledge and clinical skills necessary to effectively educate, council and help transform the llives of my patients. My husband and two young sons have transitioned to a plant based diet and have embraced this new way of life. My husband and I quickly noticed a big difference in our fitness levels achieving a higher level of fitness at age 41 than we both had as collegiate athletes. In addition to improved fitness, we have noticed improved flexibility, less muscle soreness, improved energy, and improved immune function.
As a non-invasive cardiologist practicing at large academic centers for the past 11 years I have watched my patients progressively suffer with recurrent myocardial infarctions, strokes, atrial fibrillation, and more frequent hospitalizations for heart failure despite my attempts at optimizing goal directed medical therapy and referrals for repeat invasive procedures and surgeries. Since I have incorporated lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition counseling into my practice over the past 2 years I have seen dramatic improvements in my patients health and well being while decreasing the amount of pharmaceuticals they take. As I enter the middle part of my career I have a new passion to cure and heal my patients with a combination of lifestyle intervention and traditional medicinal and procedural approaches when necessary. I look forward to sharing the wisdom I have gained not only with my patients, but with colleagues, friends and family, through my own personal journey towards plant based eating and the formal knowledge I have gained through formal plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine training.

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. The exploding wonder of our microbiome is next!!
I am thoroughly immersed in identifying risks and promoting disease prevention, as well as being a thorough diagnostician for all cardiovascular diseases. Centuries of history has shown us that we learn most by gathering a thoughtful history and physical exam. I also utilize available and well-proven laboratory and imaging testing to augment our prevention and diagnostic evaluations. I enjoy offering participation in clinical trials. I very much enjoy seeing the joy that can be found in improving our lives and our living, often by solid team work.

Read more…By partnering with patients, being fully present, attentive to their personal needs, and taking into account their unique lifestyle and life story, I strive to help my patients restore vitality naturally, and hence minimize, if not eliminate, dependence on prescription medications and need for costly and potentially risky invasive procedures. To achieve this end, I educated my patients about the benefits of plant-based nutrition and instruct them how to prepare nourishing and delicious plant-based meal in my office’s teaching kitchen.

Read more…I’ve been a practicing cardiologist for over 20 years. During this time I’ve grown tired of the cycle of repetive disease that patients put themselves through by poor lifestyle and diet. The level of awareness for the healing power of food needs to be raised, particularly in heart disease where coronary artery disease is completly reversable by lifestyle. We are trying to do something about it with our Be Well for life program .I personally live a plant based lifestyle as well for a number of years now |

Read more…This year there will be 2 million heart attacks and strokes. Few people realize two facts about this disheartening statistic: 75% of these are first-ever events. No prior warning, no chance to avoid them and a significant risk of death More important is the fact that almost all of these tragedies are avoidable. Simple lifestyle changes and sometimes medicines can greatly reduce the chance that this will ever happen in a person’s lifetime. The problem is identifying people as at risk before they become patients. For over three decades we have been using simple screening CT scans (Coronary Calcium Score) and vascular ultrasound to diagnose subclinical atherosclerosis in people so that they will recognize they are at risk and can get the help they need to before a future stroke or heart attack. We now advocate a nutritional therapy program consisting of a whole food plant based diet as the centerpiece of our treatment approach.
