Behavioral Medicine Specialist

I have had a mild form of MS for over 15 years. After converting to a WFPB diet our entire family saw health improvements and a resolution of medical condition and symptoms such as weight-loss, lowered cholesterol levels, improved skin quality, and complete resolution of chronic childhood constipation. Transitioning can be challenging, once you and your family develop new habits and favorite go to recipes it becomes routine. Working with someone who understands the mechanics of behavior change can be extremely helpful during the transition period. I would love to help. Give me a call and we can discuss.
