Medical Doctors knowledge on plant-based nutrition: A unique approach to healthcare with lifestyle medicine, evidenced-informed care, the real scoop on soy, and the benefits of a Plant-Based diet - with guest Dr. Jade Dittaro, MD

Dr. Travis Cox
In Episode #14 I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Jade Dittaro, MD and hearing about her healing journey with an autoimmune disorder by transitioning to a whole-food plant-based diet. We took a deep dive into her experiences of becoming properly educated about a plant-based diet and how the curriculum for MDs is lacking in nutrition. We also discussed;
- The power of your “why” when embarking on your healing journey
- Medical care and the interest of plant-based nutrition
- Patient success stories when using plant-based diets as a medicinal strategy
- Lifestyle medicine and incorporating other elements to your health strategy
