56. I Became My First Patient w/ Kathy-Ann Dennis-Yawingu, Internal Medicine Physician

Dr Kathy is a wife, mother of four and an internal medicine physician. She has always been fascinated by the human body and how marvelously it works. This fascination led her to medical school where she learnt not only the body’s physiology but its pathology and related pharmacology. As she treated patients day in and day out with chronic diseases she realized that few were being cured of their ailments. They continued to be sick with an ever growing list of prescription medications. She struggled with various ailments which included obesity, migraines, joint aches and fatigue. Despite her intense medical training she was not able to cure herself. A few years into her practice she was invited by a colleague and friend to embark on a total lifestyle change. This involved a dietary overhaul moving from a very processed vegetarian diet to a plant based unprocessed fare. In just 30 days she could tell that she was no longer the same. She traded all her processed chips, soda, cookies, candy, fries, fast foods, breads and pastas for a new bill of health. She was eating fruits, vegetable, nuts, grains and seeds in their natural state with minimal processing and felt more alive than ever before. She lost 20 pounds, the migraines went away. She had loads of energy and felt great. Since than she paid keen attention to positive lifestyle changes and how they maintain health. She has shared this information with her patients and over and over again seen marvelous improvements in their physical exam, lab results and overall well being. She also believes: positive lifestyle changes practiced every day are more powerful than any prescription pill to maintain health. website - www.wellnessmdmom.com YouTube- wellnessmdmom Instagram- wellnessdoctormom Facebook- wellnessmdmom.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/whataword/support
