I have personally followed a whole food, plant-based diet for the last two decades and have over time gotten most of my family to follow along most of the time.  I have helped many patients improve and sometimes reverse their diabetes, atherosclerosis, arthritis, cancers and mood disorders by adopting an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, high fiber, high nutrition density, low calorie density, whole food, plant based diet.
As the founding Program Director for the DeTar/Texas A&M Family Medicine Residency program, I train 24 soon to be Board Certified Family Medicine specialists to understand the primacy of patient lifestyle choices in managing and reversing the majority of ailments that plague Americans today.

Niki Davis, MD is a “rocket scientist” turned physician. She is board certified in both family medicine and lifestyle medicine.  At age 13, she started removing animal products from her diet because she didn’t feel it was healthy. Once in college, she obtained bachelor and master degrees in mechanical engineering and worked on the space shuttle program for several years. However, instead of rockets on her mind, she was constantly thinking about health and nutrition – helping her own family members improve their health and their lives by switching to a plant based lifestyle.
She eventually found her way back to her passion after leaving her engineering career to apply for medical school. She graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2017 and completed a Family Medicine residency program in 2020. While in residency, in addition to serving as Wellness Chief, she helped form Plant Based Montana, an advocacy group with the mission to educate healthcare providers and the general public about the benefits of a plant based diet.
She has had the pleasure of speaking at plant based events around the country and has been lucky enough to train with phenomenal mentors such as Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Michael Klaper, Dr. Anthony Lim, and Dr. Alan Goldhamer, among others. She is a regular guest on Chef AJ’s YouTube channel show and on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) Podcast. She has a certificate in plant based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies through eCornell and is certified in The Starch Solution.

After I found plant-based eating 7 years ago, I was thrilled!  I lost weight, felt more energetic and slept better!  But I couldn’t get myself to kick the cravings…no matter how hard I tried!  I felt embarrassed that I couldn’t stick with it, that I didn’t have more willpower, and that I couldn’t stop eating!  
 
Then I learned the missing piece that helped transform my relationship with food and heal my digestion 100%!  Now I use the tools I learned to help my clients take control of food, lose stubborn weight and create the body of their dreams with confidence!  My mission is to help YOU be as wildly successful as possible so that we can spread the word about the plant-based diet to the world!
