As an integrative family physician and geriatrician, I experience the benefits my patients receive on a plant-based diet daily. In addition to a focus on prevention and wellness, my office emphasizes that it is never too late to change to a plant-based diet to manage the chronic conditions and diseases common with aging. Whether we are helping our patients heal from or manage diabetes or hypertension, heart disease or cancer, dementia or osteoarthritis, we strive to personalize our message regarding the role of nutrition in treatment. No other lifestyle change or therapeutic intervention is more important. No other diet than one that is plant-based is more effective.
