She is also a breast cancer survivor and believes that eating a healthy diet is important for cancer survivorship. Dr. Kahn practices in Chicago, Illlinois at Zavala Internists.

Dr. Niki Davis began eating plant based as a teenager but realized that, oftentimes, she was not following a healthy whole food diet. Through personal research, she learned that a whole food plant based lifestyle is the healthy way to approach nutrition for herself and her family. In fact, it was so important to her it was the reason she decided to go from being a “rocket scientist” (she previously worked as a mechanical engineer on the Space Shuttle program) to a family and lifestyle medicine board certified MD, graduating from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2017. She obtained a plant based nutrition certificate from eCornell, assisted Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Anthony Lim during a McDougall live-in program and completed an internship at True North Health Center with mentors Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Dr. Michael Klaper. She has had great success helping her patients prevent and reverse chronic (lifestyle related) disease through lifestyle change, notably through a plant based diet. After completing her residency in June 2020, her mission has been focused on treating patients via telemedicine, virtual wellness retreats and, eventually, in-person retreats in different locations around the world. 

Primary care physician licensed to practice medicine in South Carolina and North Carolina. Currently doing outpatient urgent care with Doctors Care of South Carolina in Aiken, South Carolina. Previously in private general practice and emergency medicine since 1987 also in Aiken, SC. 
I was introduced to a plant based whole foods lifestyle by a physicians assistant at a wellness centered medical practice. Veronica, who is now my primary care provider, has given me a method to radically improve laboratory parameters, body weight and blood pressure. There is nothing like experiencing something personally to make someone a believer!

Dr. Abendroth is dual board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. In May 2020 he opened Sana Vita Health, a Direct Primary Care and Lifestyle Medicine clinic. Direct Primary Care is a revolutionary new model of healthcare delivery that puts the focus back on the doctor-patient relationship, instead of focusing on the paperwork and billing.

At Sana Vita Health you can call, email, or even text Dr. Abendroth! Many issues can be handled remotely, but when you do want or need to come in, you’ll find a relaxing, well-appointed boutique-like atmosphere with one exam room that also serves as Dr. Abendroth’s office, a small private waiting room (you’ll never wait with other patients!), and a clean, luxurious bathroom that is ADA accessible.
