Plantathon 2023: Eating and Cooking for Vascular Health
Source: Plant Powered Metro New York
What’s one of the most powerful ways to keep arteries and blood pressure healthy? Eating mostly whole plant foods! In this live virtual event with Love.Life Telehealth physicians Kim Scheuer, MD, and Colin Zhu, DO, we’ll explore food’s role in treating vascular health issues and hypertension — through both science and a live demo! Hailing from Colorado and California respectively, Dr. Scheuer and Dr. Zhu are both board-certified in family medicine and lifestyle medicine.
While searching for a way to decrease her risk of cancer which is prevalent in her family, Dr. Scheuer read Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s book The China Study, and now she de-prescribes medications and helps her patients become “younger every year” by adopting healthier lifestyle choices. Passionate about the intersection of medicine, food, and nutrition, Dr. Zhu (“The Chef Doc”) trained as a chef and a health coach at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health & Culinary Arts following the completion of his medical degree.
