Podcasts about plant based telehealth

Dr. Laurie Marbas, a board-certified physician in both family and lifestyle medicine, initially trained in a traditional medical setting before her practice and perspective evolved toward integrating plant-based nutrition into her medical approach. Her journey toward plant-based medicine began serendipitously after a patient in Rifle, Colorado, shared remarkable health improvements following dietary changes. Intrigued by her patient's experience with eliminating meat and dairy, Dr. Marbas began researching plant-based diets, eventually encountering The China Study, a pivotal moment that deepened her commitment to using diet as a preventive measure in healthcare. Impact of Plant-Based Diet on Chronic Illness Dr. Marbas shares compelling stories from her practice, including patients with serious autoimmune conditions like lupus. She describes the transformative impact of plant-based diets, exemplified by a lupus patient who saw significant health improvements, including weight loss, reduced inflammation, and a notable decrease in medication dependence. For Dr. Marbas, the results in her patients reinforced the power of nutrition, convincing her to adopt a fully plant-based approach in both her personal and professional life. Implementing Plant-Based Programs in Hospitals In collaboration with colleagues and plant-based chefs, Dr. Marbas implemented a study in Colorado's Grand River Hospital to test the effects of plant-based meals on hospital employees. Over 30 days, the program yielded promising results, including weight loss and a decrease in pre-diabetic conditions. This experience highlighted the potential for plant-based interventions within healthcare settings, extending beyond patient care to improve employee wellness. Founding of the Plantrition Project and Plant-Based Telehealth A visionary in plant-based medicine, Dr. Marbas co-founded Plant-Based Telehealth, a virtual medical service focused on plant-based health and wellness. After a successful start, Plant-Based Telehealth was sold to Whole Foods founder John Mackey in 2022. Dr. Marbas' involvement in the Plantrition Project, an organization dedicated to educating healthcare professionals on plant-based nutrition, further solidified her commitment to expanding the reach of nutrition-based preventive medicine.

Hello everyone! In today's episode, I shared five transformative experiences and decisions that have significantly impacted my life, and I hope they can inspire you too. 1. Embracing Lifestyle Medicine I discussed how discovering lifestyle medicine was a game-changer for me. It allowed me to move beyond the constraints of traditional medicine, focusing on preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic diseases through holistic approaches like nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social connections. 2. Adopting Minimalism and a Nomadic Lifestyle I shared my journey of living in an RV full-time with my husband and dog, Daisy. Embracing minimalism has brought a sense of freedom and lightness, allowing us to travel, enjoy nature, and live more intentionally. 3. Integrating Technology into Healthcare I talked about my experience with telemedicine, starting back in 2017. This approach has enabled me to reach and help patients across the country, emphasizing the power of a plant-based diet and lifestyle medicine. I also mentioned my involvement with Plant-Based Telehealth, now known as Love Life. 4. Building a Supportive Community I highlighted the importance of community through my work with Brittany Drudy and our initiative, the Healing Kitchen. This platform allows us to connect with people worldwide, offering recipes, medical advice, and workshops to support a healthier lifestyle. 5. Prioritizing Personal Growth and Self-Care Finally, I emphasized the significance of personal growth and self-care, especially during challenging times like perimenopause. I shared my mindfulness practices and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and perspective, even in difficult situations.

Good morning, everyone! In today's episode, I shared a deeply personal story about how two patients profoundly changed my life and career as a physician. For those who are new to the channel, I hope this gives you some insight into my journey and the transformative power of a plant-based diet. I began by recounting my move to Rifle, Colorado, after serving in the Air Force. Working as a family medicine physician in a small, rural hospital, I encountered a patient in 2012 who mentioned that meat and dairy upset her stomach. I advised her to stop consuming these foods, not realizing this was essentially a plant-based diet. When she returned 30 days later with her daughter, who had also adopted the diet and experienced significant improvements in her ADD symptoms, I was intrigued. This led me to dive into the science behind plant-based diets, starting with T. Colin Campbell's book, "The China Study." The compelling evidence I found there and in other resources like Dr. McDougall's site and the "Forks Over Knives" documentary convinced me to explore this further. Another patient with lupus came to see me shortly after. She was on 12 different medications and in significant pain. I suggested she try a plant-based diet, and within two weeks, her inflammatory markers had significantly decreased, and she felt much better. Over five months, she lost 50 pounds and was able to stop seven of her medications. Inspired by these results, I decided to adopt a whole food plant-based diet for my family and myself. I threw out all animal-based products from our home and began this new journey. My family was supportive, and over time, I saw incredible improvements in my own health, including a significant reduction in my thyroid medication. Throughout the years, I've used this approach with countless patients, witnessing remarkable transformations. This experience led me to co-found Plant-Based Telehealth and later Mora Medical, although the latter didn't work out. Now, I continue to see patients independently and share the benefits of a plant-based diet through this podcast and other platforms.

Rip welcomes Anthony Masiello, co-founder and CEO of Love Life Telehealth, who shares his personal transformation and innovative approach to healthcare access to whole food plant-based physicians. Anthony recalls his own struggle with weight issues from a young age, trying various methods to lose weight. Despite his active lifestyle, his weight continued to fluctuate, leading him to question how weight gain occurs and the role of genetics and environment in this process. After sharing his own personal journey, Anthony delves into the creation of Love Life Telehealth, a platform that aims to revolutionize healthcare by providing comprehensive support through coaching, education, and community. He explains the concept of telemedicine and how Love Life Telehealth connects patients with doctors across different states, offering lifestyle medicine consultations. The ultimate goal of Love Life Telehealth is to change the way healthcare is practiced, prioritizing a lifestyle-first approach and using medicine only when necessary. The team of ten doctors work collaboratively with patients to understand their complete profile and help them achieve their goals. Anthony describes the development of other programs and offerings, such as a monthly payment model and a year-long program, all designed to help people not just live life, but love life and be passionate about enjoying it. About Anthony Masiello Anthony has been working in healthcare for more than 25 years. His professional career started in the 90s at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) doing bioinformatics for the Human Genome Project. He later shifted into Research and Development at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where he was interested in contributing more directly to the development of new disease therapies. After transforming his own health, and learning there is a better way, he shifted once again and is now 100% focused on providing access to medical services centered on the prevention and reversal of disease utilizing lifestyle medicine rooted in whole food plant-based nutrition. Anthony came to a plant-based lifestyle himself after being denied a 20-year term life insurance policy at age 33. He was morbidly obese, weighing more than 360 pounds, medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. Through the transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 lbs. and reversed all of these conditions. He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and a greatly improved quality of life for more than 15 years and counting. Anthony's personal health transformation has been featured on the Megyn Kelly Today show, on PBS, in The Huffington Post, in the bestselling book Eat to Live, and by Forks Over Knives, Runners World, and numerous magazines, websites, radio shows, podcasts, and articles. Anthony was Co-founder and CEO of Plant Based TeleHealth, a national lifestyle telemedicine service focused on the prevention and reversal of disease with lifestyle medicine and whole food plant-based nutrition. In 2022, Plant-Based TeleHealth was acquired by Love.Life, a national network of wellness hubs that is leading the convergence of food, medicine, and wellness for a one-stop transformative health experience.   Episode Resources Watch the Episode on YouTube Love.Life Telehealth Join our PLANTSTRONG Sedona Retreat - October 9-14, 2023 To stock up on the best-tasting, most convenient, 100% PLANTSTRONG foods, including our cornbread, teas, stews, pancakes cereals, granolas, pizza kits, broths and soups, check out all of our PLANTSTRONG products HERE.

This new service provides access to plant-based lifestyle medicine across the United States; using secure video conferencing and patient portal technologies, a doctor in one location delivers “in person” care to a patient at a distant site. Plant Based TeleHealth (PBTH) provides medical care for patients who have chronic disease and other medical conditions, including, but not limited to, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and digestive issues. These conditions are addressed through lifestyle medicine—the powerful, evidence-based practice of promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyle modification, including a whole food, plant-based diet. Individuals can expect improvement in and—in many cases—reversal of chronic disease by adopting a whole food, plant-based diet and making other lifestyle changes, including exercise, stress reduction, improved sleep, tobacco cessation, and maintaining a healthy body weight. With lifestyle medicine, doctors care for the whole person at the root-cause level, strengthening the body's immune system and often leading to improved health in multiple areas at once. Doctors are now available to see patients in 43 states across the country. Additional states and physicians will be added throughout the year with the goal of making plant-based lifestyle medicine available to patients in all 50 states before the end of 2020. Plant Based TeleHealth is making plant-based lifestyle medicine available nationwide, using telemedicine to remove many of the barriers that prevent people from accessing this type of care.

Get the Bundle here: https://transactions.sendowl.com/stores/15779/226536 Niki Davis, MD is a “rocket scientist” turned physician. She is board certified in both family medicine and lifestyle medicine. At age 13, she started removing animal products from her diet because she didn't feel it was healthy. Once in college, she obtained bachelor and master degrees in mechanical engineering and worked on the space shuttle program for several years. However, instead of rockets on her mind, she was constantly thinking about health and nutrition - helping her own family members improve their health and their lives by switching to a plant based lifestyle. She eventually found her way back to her passion after leaving her engineering career to apply for medical school. She graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2017 and completed a Family Medicine residency program in 2020. While in residency, in addition to serving as Wellness Chief, she helped form Plant Based Montana, an advocacy group with the mission to educate healthcare providers and the general public about the benefits of a plant based diet. She has had the pleasure of speaking at plant based events around the country and has been lucky enough to train with phenomenal mentors such as Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Michael Klaper, Dr. Anthony Lim, Dr. Laurie Marbas, and Dr. Alan Goldhamer, among others. She is a regular guest on Chef AJ's YouTube channel show, has a certificate in plant based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies through eCornell, and is certified in The Starch Solution. Dr. Davis is available for Lifestyle Medicine TeleHealth appointments through Plant Based TeleHealth.

Dr. Michael Klaper is a gifted clinician, internationally-recognized teacher, and sought-after speaker on diet and health. In addition to his clinical practice and private consultations with patients, he is a passionate and devoted educator of physicians and other healthcare professionals about the importance of nutrition in clinical practice and integrative medicine. Dr. Klaper is the author of Vegan Nutrition; Pure & Simple (no longer in print) and has produced numerous health videos, webinars and dozens of articles for both scientific journals and the popular press. As a source of inspiration advocating plant-based diets and the end of animal cruelty worldwide, Dr. Klaper contributed to the making of two PBS television programs, Food for Thought and the award-winning movie, Diet for a New America (based on the book of the same name). Dr. Klaper teaches that “Health Comes From Healthy Living” and he is dedicated to the healing and flourishing of all living beings and our planet. “Health is having a body that moves without pain, breathes without distress and allows us to perform the activities of life with complete presence and focused energy. Then, we can love fully and enjoy our lives to the fullest.” Dr. Michael Klaper graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in 1972. He served a medical internship at Vancouver General Hospital in British Columbia, Canada and received training in surgery, anesthesiology and orthopedics at the University of British Columbia Hospital in Vancouver. Additionally, he was trained in obstetrics at the University of California Hospital, San Francisco. Dr. Klaper is board-certified in Urgent Care Medicine. As his medical career progressed, Dr. Klaper began to realize (true to what science is bearing out today) that many of the diseases his patients presented – clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure (hypertension), obesity, adult-onset diabetes and even some forms of arthritis, asthma, and other significant illnesses – were made worse or actually caused by the high sugar, high fat, high salt, overly processed, animal product-based, Standard American Diet (S.A.D.). Dr. Michael Klaper is licensed to practice medicine in California, Florida, Hawaii, and New York. YOU CAN BOOK A CONSULT WITH HIM HERE: https://plantbasedtelehealth.com/

I had the pleasure of being interviewed n a panel with Dr. Klaper and Glen Merzer by the Plant Based Nutrition Movement. Here is the recording in case you missed. Dr. Klaper (https://www.doctorklaper.com/) is world-renowned in the plant-based world for his dedication to helping his patients heal themselves, less with drugs and procedures, more with what they choose to put in their mouths every meal. He's often heard claiming to be the "luckiest doctor in the world" because he gets to watch his patients get better! Having worked for years as a physician at True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA, Dr. Klaper currently serves with Plant Based Telehealth while dedicating much of his time traveling to medical institutions teaching young doctors that the first step to healing, in most cases, is in choosing health promoting foods and why that is so critical for them to understand when sitting across from patients.

How does one go from being unhealthy and obese to becoming a beacon of hope when it comes to personal health? Such is the case with Plant-Based Telehealth founder, Anthony Masiello. Anthony's passion for health was not a part of his life plan. An early pioneer of understanding the internet, Anthony loved technology and science. In this episode, Dr. Sabatino and Anthony “geek out” on science and how it all plays into where we are today. Bringing the conversation into layperson terms, Anthony shares how the denial of a 20-year term life insurance policy felt like a death sentence to him. Looking back, he now sees it as a life sentence. One he never imagined he would be living. And yet, when he was denied the insurance policy, he was morbidly obese, weighing more than 360 pounds, medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. With his transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 lbs. and reversed all these conditions.  He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and an incredible quality of life for more than 16 years and counting. Anthony is on a mission to dramatically shift the healthcare focus from management to the prevention and reversal of chronic disease by helping millions of people to implement lifestyle changes that will truly improve the quality of their lives. http://www.HealthScience.org/podcast/011-anthony-masiello

Dr. Susannah Bozzone is a lifestyle medicine physician and yogi who is also a member of the esteemed team of doctors at Plant-Based Telehealth. As a physician working in the traditional western medicine model, she realized she could not offer what her patients really wanted and needed from their doctor. She had a deep desire to practice medicine more in accordance with nature's guidance and, most importantly, in a way that addressed diseases from their root cause rather than covering up symptoms. So she broke away from the constraints of medical insurance billing and partnered with registered nurse and health coach Christine Smith to create True Health Journey. A healthcare service that promotes support, encouragement, accountability, and dedication - everything needed to endeavor the journey to true health. In this episode, we discuss: - her path to medicine - be at ease with the struggle - yoga for healing - unraveling our conditioning - reframing health care - importance of listening vs. telling - separating emotions toward food from the food itself - helping the planet through positive community change - stress inhibits the absorption of fuel - emotional eating - getting clear on your purpose Namaste- Jess

“What ends up happening is the patient is now in charge of their health.” ~ Dr. Niki Davis Traditional medicine addresses chronic disease with pills and procedures that control symptoms or attempt to fix damage that's already been done. Plant-Based TeleHealth takes a different approach: lifestyle medicine that uses a plant-based diet and personalized care to get to the root of diseases and help patients heal. Follow The Modern Health Nerd Apple - Spotify - Google - Overcast - Breaker That's what attracted Dr. Kim Scheuer, Dr. Niki Davis, Dr. Colin Zhu and Dr. Chris Miller to this unique new practice that serves patients across the U.S. They wanted to stop “putting band-aids” on patients' problems, go beyond what they were able to do in traditional practice and start giving patients the time and attention they needed to get better—for good. Through Plant-Based TeleHealth, these doctors and their colleagues are able to help patients reduce their medications and improve their health. The patients get less of what they don't want (more pills) and more of what they do want (freedom from symptoms and disease). Episode Highlights - How taking a holistic look at the whole person instead of just their symptoms changes the way medicine is practiced and enables a lifestyle approach - Why the ability to spend more time with patients is critical to helping them make lasting diet and lifestyle changes - The need to dig deeper and go beyond nutrition to discover all the potential factors that influence patients' health - The importance of understanding what potentially conflicting information patients will get from traditional doctors who don't understand plant-based lifestyle medicine - The need for a paradigm shift in health, wellness and medicine to get people back to the basics and on track for long-term healing - Success stories from the doctors' practices About Plant-Based TeleHealth Plant Based TeleHealth (PBTH) provides offers lifestyle medicine care for patients who have chronic disease and other conditions. Through the powerful, evidence-based practice of promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyle modification, including a whole food, plant-based diet, doctors work with patients to help them go beyond managing symptoms to experience real healing.

This new service provides access to plant-based lifestyle medicine across the United States; using secure video conferencing and patient portal technologies, a doctor in one location delivers “in-person” care to a patient at a distant site. Plant-Based TeleHealth (PBTH) provides medical care for patients who have a chronic disease and other medical conditions, including, but not limited to, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and digestive issues. These conditions are addressed through lifestyle medicine—the powerful, evidence-based practice of promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyle modification, including a whole-food, plant-based diet. Doctors are now available to see patients in all 50 states across the US, and internationally for lifestyle medicine consultations. Plant-Based TeleHealth is making plant-based lifestyle medicine available nationwide, using telemedicine to remove many of the barriers that prevent people from accessing this type of care. --- Thanks, Dr. Jeffrey Pierce for mentioning my book Thrive Medicine here: https://www.chefdoczhu.com/my-book Listen to other Thrive Bites Episodes here: https://www.thethr5formula.co/podcast Join our NEW THR5 FB Community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thethr5formula --- *This episode is sponsored by The THR5 Formula™ Virtual Summit Experience at https://www.thethr5formula.co/ _________________ *Interview views are opinions of the individual.

My 8th guest as part of my Launch Series is a person I feel a special kinship with as we share a common purpose to help others lead healthier lives. So happy to have him here. Anthony Masiello has been working in healthcare for more than 20 years. His career started by working on bioinformatics with the Human Genome Project then transitioned to pharmaceutical research. But his unbelievable health journey, losing over 150 pounds and successfully keeping it off since 2005, took him down a different path that eventually led to his discovery of Lifestyle Medicine. So Anthony then shifted his career to focus on the prevention and reversal of chronic disease through his new tele health startup, Plant Based TeleHealth, the first national lifestyle telemedicine service. And he's here to share with you his definition of health. I hope Anthony's message helps to redefine what health means for you.Show Notes:Connect with Anthony Masiello: Website | Facebook | EmailConnect with Dr. Jonar, M.D.: Website | Instagram | Facebook | TwitterHow can I support this podcast?Listen, Subscribe, Rate & Review:Glass Half Healthy on Apple PodcastTell Your Friends & Share Online!Thanks to my intern, the wonderful and smart Amelia Liu, to Twinsy for their production help, and to StockSounds for the music.
