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.  
I am part of a larger medical group (Dignity Health) and we accept almost all insurance plans. 

Medical Director at the Health for Life Medical Centre in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.  We provide a team-based Lifestyle Medicine approach to assist our clients to achieve Optimal health.

I am an Internal Medicine Specialist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. I work in a multi-specialty clinic, Aroga Lifestyle Medicine, where care is provided in a team setting. Patients can expect to be assessed by a variety of healthcare providers to assist in empowering them to implement the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, including a primarily whole-foods plant-based diet in their journeys to prevent, treat, and potentially reverse chronic illness.

: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.

I have been a Whole Food, Plant-Based eater since 2016.  I lost 60# with Bright Line Eating in 2016 and reversed hypertension, obesity, and borderline diabetes.  Both plans are the most effective and sustainable for accomplishing improved health and optimal weight.  I am a Family Nurse Practitioner working at a family practice clinic in San Pedro, CA called Med-Friends.  I am available to assist anyone who is interested in learning more about these two ways of eating to improve his or her health.  I can prescribe medications for those who need them, with a goal of weaning off medications as your diet improves.  Our clinic is in-network for Blue Shield insurance, primarily.    

I am a board certified internal medicine physician, with a focus in lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, activity/exercise, sleep, and mindfulness & meaning. I started my own journey in the 1990s and have been growing and learning, with an interest in nutrition research, long before I found medicine and became a doctor. I have opened my own clinic, where I can talk at length with my patients about lifestyle medicine and more, without the restrictions of many of the big box clinics. I am truly passionate about a plant based lifestyle and recovering/pursuing optimal health. I also do OMT (hands-on diagnosis and treatment) and I have home visit programs for my mobility-challenged and elderly patients. Located in sunny, seaside Ventura, CA.

I help clients make diet and lifestyles changes ultilizing mindfull eating techniques.  This helps people transition from an omnivorous diet to plant based eating without diet fads that can end up being problematic. My services are evidenced based and patient centered while focused on helping you get in touch with your hunger and fullness cues and learning about how thought processes influence your cravings. Unlike many practitioners, we will take a deep dive into your helath history and get to the root causes of your health issues using evidenced based nutrition.
I specialize in clients struggling with yo-yo dieting, mindless eating, or those with lifestyle diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes for example.

I’m one among the first Functional Medicine practitioners in the city of Bangalore, India. Being a third-generation doctor in my family of surgeons I was inspired and intrigued by the scalpel. Having completed my MBBS from JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru in 2005, I went ahead to pursue MS General Surgery at KSHEMA, Mangaluru. During my residency I developed a keen interest in Gastrointestinal surgery and joined fellowship in Surgical Gastroenterology (FSGE) at Bangalore Medical College and Victoria Hospital. I’m also a fellow of Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons (FIAGES).

I had always been fascinated by integrated medicine and natural healing since childhood,  and gradually I realized the miracle of our body to heal when we treat the body as a whole and not only the presenting symptoms / disorder. I was drawn to the science of Functional medicine and became a member of Institute of Functional Medicine and The School of Applied Functional Medicine. I’ve completed 4 modules in Functional Medicine, and i’m in the process of being a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner by IFM and SAFM. As a practitioner of Functional Medicine I aspires to treat chronic lifestyle disorders by individualised patient centric, holistic medicine. By incorporating a multi modal approach of plant-based nutrition, nutrigenomics, comprehensive metabolic and microbiome work-up along with emphasis on simple lifestyle modifications like pranayama, meditation and yoga, I aspire to help patients with long standing illnesses like diabetes mellitus, obesity, auto- immune disorders and food allergies lead a life free of morbidities. 
 
I’m currently part of Terry Wahl’s autoimmune program and i wish to expand my services to Neuro-degenerative disorders as well. 
 
I’m also a Vegan by choice and I’m really excited to be a part of this wonderful group of plant-based doctors and i’m looking forward to learn from seniors and stalwarts in this platform 
 
Regards, 
 
Dr Gaurang Ramesh
 

 I believe that our nutrition can heal, prevent and reverse certain issues that our bodies and minds are experiencing and allow our bodies to work they way they were intended. Together we will look at the symptoms you are experiencing and define what you want to improve and break down what steps we need to take to get you where you want to be. This includes looking at the whole picture of what makes you… YOU.   We will define a wellness road map that encompasses nutrition and wellness practices that will fulfill what YOUR body is asking for.  Diving into your health practices and lifestyle we will paint the picture of where you are and where you would like to be. ​ I am a board certified Holistic Health Practitioner and yoga instructor.  I am an avid runner and have coached swimming and running throughout my life. I am truly passionate about knowing how food fuels us and support us in accomplishing our goals. Nothing gets me more excited than encouraging others along their wellness journey while looking at the 5 main aspects of personal health: physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual. Focusing on the 5 main aspects of personal health: physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual 

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner, specializing in clinical primary care for teens through adult. I value a holistic, science-based approach to patient care. I am a devoted advocate for my patients. I want to help patients make healthy lifestyle choices to promote prevention and help limit medical interventions. This includes education and guidance on working to achieve a Whole Foods Plant- Based diet for optimal health and well- being. 

I am a registered dietitian, American College of Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and a Life/Weight Coach. I first learned about plant based medicine 19 years ago during my practicum at the Pritikin Longevity Center and have been passionate about the role food has in our health ever since, though I haven’t always been as spot on with my nutrition as I am today.
 
I can remember as a mom of young kids feeling mom-like and not in a good way. I was bursting out of my jeans. But worse than that, I felt too big for my skin. One day I noticed that my seatbelt was cutting into my stomach. That was a first. I remember thinking I’m a dietitian, I know better. I felt ashamed because I was preaching healthy eating, but I wasn’t always eating healthy. I was on the “one is never enough” plan and it showed on my body. I remember the phone call from my doctor’s office–bad labs. I thought, what am I doing? I know better. Then the shame fell away and I had a new feeling, conviction. I decided I was going to take care of myself and I started following my E.A.S.E. plan (which now I share with my clients).
E: eat greens
A: add fiber and color
S: subtract processed foods
E: exercise your mind and body
I felt healthier. No longer exhausted. I didn’t shove my words down with food anymore. I said what I was thinking instead of snacking. Now I weigh 102 lbs. My weight has stayed the same for over 10 years. Jeans slide on with no effort (except those double zeros!).  I no longer fear the seatbelt. Now I help others do the same.
