Sharon Bergquist, MD: Leading the Way with Lifestyle Medicine at Emory and Beyond Follow Your Kind

In this very special episode I sit down with a dear colleague of mine, Dr. Sharon Bergquist, the leader of lifestyle medicine at Emory, a mentor and a friend.

Dr. Sharon Bergquist is a Rollins Senior Distinguished Clinician, Master Clinician, and Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Medicine and Geriatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Bergquist is the Medical Director of Emory's Executive Health program and leads the research program at the Paul W. Seavey Comprehensive Internal Medicine Clinic. She is also a founder and Medical Director Emory Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness. Dr. Bergquist is also a host of The Whole Health Cure podcast.

In this conversation Dr. Bergquist shares her personal story and what inspired her to use lifestyle change, including plant-based nutrition as a tool to heal her patients. We talk about the effects of stress and how to shift your perspective and use it for getting stronger. We discuss plant-based nutrition and why not all doctors recognize its potential. Finally, we discuss some of the projects that we are working on at Emory and Dr. Bergquist shares her vision for programs that she thinks could make a true impact.
