Episode 17 - Lifestyle as Medicine: Nutrition I AM Well, MD
-
- Mental Health
In this podcast episode, we are going to talk about nutrition! This is a topic that is discussed in my pediatric practice multiple times a day, and I find that there is a lot of confusion about it. Why wouldn't there be? We are constantly bombarded with information regarding the latest diet and nutrition fads.
The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recommends a whole foods plant based diet, which is essentially a vegan diet (without the non-nutritive vegan foods that are highly processed, like doritos, fritos, chips!). There's a good bit of research out there regarding this, and more can be found on their website at https://lifestylemedicine.org/
In this conversation, for the sake of simplicity, I wanted to provide some broad recommendations for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike, so that we can all move towards a healthier life and reduce our risk for common chronic diseases, like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. We deserve a life where we can be active with our kids and grandkids, and empower them to be healthy as well.
Dr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine. She has traveled the world to learn more about the intersection where mind, body, personal beliefs, and motivation meet. She is founder and CEO of Integrative Approaches to Mastering Wellness, where she brings the wisdom of mind body medicine and the power of life coaching together to help her clients break through their glass ceilings.
