Article for Your Doctor

We have included the Kaiser Permanente Journal Spring 2013 Issue as a download above that you can take with you to your doctor. Page 61 contains an article titled Nutritional Update for Physicians: Plant-Based Diets where Kaiser Permanente is advising physicians to prescribe whole-food based diets.

Don’t be surprised if your doctor has no idea what a whole-food plant-based diet is. As you will learn on this course, medical doctors receive almost no nutritional training during the entire course of their medical schooling, and the little bit they do receive is terribly outdated. The medical world can be stubbornly oblivious of the connection between diet and chronic disease.

Whole Food Diet is Powerful Medicine

Changing to a fully whole-food plant-based diet (with no processed products added) can have immediate positive effects on things like your blood sugar and blood pressure. These changes are well documented in medical literature and are welcome effects, but if you are taking any medications to control these or other chronic conditions, it can require regular check-ins with your doctor to adjust your medications downward as the whole food-based diet takes effect.

Whole-food plant-based diets have been linked to a number of health benefits, including overturning and reducing your risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes and cognitive decline.
