I have been plant-based since 2009 and am dedicated to promoting the benefits of whole food plant-based nutrition to as many people as possible.

At his practice, West Orange Nephrology LLC, Dr. Awosika specializes in Nephrology, Hypertension, and Chronic Kidney Disease with an emphasis on preventive care. For over a decade, he has encouraged a lifestyle approach that empowers patients to get better sooner and stay healthier longer, limiting the use of medications.
Dr. Awosika is passionate about providing guidance and support for his patients in embracing a healthy lifestyle, including transitioning to a plant-based diet. His Nephrology practice focuses on disease prevention and reversal through optimal nutrition, exercise, sleep, mindset and loving relationships. To this end, his practice includes a wellness initiative and coaching protocol to empower patients in moving toward their very best health outcomes using his Pillars of Health.

When I began his graduate nutrition studies at New York University, I had a clear goal in mind – help people like YOU integrate nutrition into their lives in a way that is easy, interesting, and enjoyable.

I believe nutrition is much more than just the science of nutrients and the human body – it is a complex interplay of choices, emotions, taste, and health.

I doesn’t simply want you to know what foods are high in vitamin C or what the technical definition of fiber is. I encourage you to step outside your food box and explore new flavors, integrate healthy foods into your life, and never feel like you are putting a morsel into your mouth only because “it’s good for you.”

Foundational to my approach to dermatology is an understanding of how underlying states of health and disease manifest in the skin. Because I want my patients to not only look their best, but feel their best too, I take a holistic approach to optimizing the health and quality of the skin by also addressing the wellbeing of what lies beneath it. How? By including a discussion of the most effective, evidence-based, AND side-effect-free way to prevent and reverse inflammation and chronic disease — following a whole-food, plant-based diet! Why? Because I want my patients’ immune systems to not be so busy fighting dietary inflammation that they are prepared and able to stop new cancers themselves  so my cancer-removing skills aren’t needed.

After doing a CO2 laser procedure to really turn-back-the-clock, I know that my patients following a plant based diet will have the added benefit of clear arteries to supply all the powerful antioxidants circulating from their meals filled with greens, beans, berries, and seeds to continuously support the newly-formed collagen from the inside-out. Additionally, whole-food, plant-based diets are unparalleled in their ability to boost fat loss while enabling lean muscle gain. This is particularly exciting for our patients seeking to jump-start their weight loss through CoolSculpting or increase their strength with the TruSculpt Flex as a whole-food, plant-based diet will not only help with immediate results, but help sustain a healthy weight and strong physique for years to come.

I have been a Physician Assistant since 2005. Currently working in Internal Medicine. In 2012 I had my own health problems despite heavy exercise, and what I felt was a healthy lifestyle. This prompted me to study the science of Nutrition. Once I saw the evidence I began transitioning to a whole food plant based diet. I got my health back, and then began sharing it with patients. By the end of 2020 I have taught using a food as medicine approach to over 1,500 patients, both in one on one appointments in the clinic, as well as in free classes to my community. I continue to teach and share this vital information, with any and all who are interested in taking control of their own health and wellness. 

I am a board-certified Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine physician and work with people to help prevent, treat, and even (with some conditions) reverse disease.  As part of someone’s health we talk about nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and support system and these all play critical roles in health.
In addition to the in-office/telemedicine visits, patients and community members are welcome to attend the Walk With A Doc monthly walks at the Ventura Pier (currently held as an education over Zoom due to COVID-19) or other group visits for education, support, or to ask questions.

[Trī-māz-ing] :three times better than amazing   Cindy wants you to be Trimazing—three times better than amazing!
 
After improving her health and fitness through plant-based nutrition, losing 60 pounds and becoming an adult-onset athlete, she retired from her 20-year firefighting career to help people just like you. She works with people and organizations so they can reach their health and wellness goals.  
 
Shortly after her father died from blood cancer in 2008, her state designated blood and other cancers as presumptive illnesses for professional firefighters, prompting Cindy to research how to reduce her personal cancer risk. She discovered that a whole food, plant-based vegan diet that eliminated the consumption of animal products could be key to her health and cancer prevention. Without going on a diet and just putting better fuel (food) into her body, Cindy dropped 60 pounds, 7 uniform pants sizes, 3 uniform shirt sizes, and dropped her cholesterol and blood pressure readings in one year.
 
Beyond looking better, her fitness level soared, and gave her new energy she could not contain. At the age of 38, Cindy became an adult onset athlete, competing and medaling in marathons, triathlons, open water swim races, and endurance events! Best of all, she’s been able to maintain this without dieting or feeling deprived!  
 
Her fire department was so impressed by her transformation that they put her in charge of the newly formed Wellness Fitness Initiative, a collaborative program between the International Association of Firefighters and International Association of Fire Chiefs. Cindy is a decorated Fire Captain and paramedic, awarded Firefighter of the Year and Oregon State Paramedic of the Year. As part of the prestigious Executive Fire Officer Program at the U.S. Fire Academy, Cindy published original research on firefighter and public health and safety.  
 
Our health and wellness is closely tied to the health of our environment. Cindy incorporates zero-waste and sustainable practices throughout her programs. You’ll see it IS easy being green!  
 
Now that she’s retired from the fire service, Cindy shares her knowledge, experience, infectious enthusiasm for food, health, and fitness as a certified Health Coach, Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Firefighter Peer Fitness Trainer through Trimazing! Health & Lifestyle Coaching. She is a Food for Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Harvard Medical School Culinary Coach, and Rouxbe Plant-Based Professional, teaching people how to prepare delicious, satisfying, and health-promoting meals. You can find Cindy at Trimazing! Vegan Health & Lifestyle Coaching and be reached at cindy@trimazing.com.
