#154: From Skepticism to Passion: the CPR Health Clinic Story
“Our goal is to never abandon someone in the process of change.” -Dr. Sagar Doshi, CPR Health Clinic
Dr. Sagar Doshi was introduced to lectures on plant-based nutrition several times before he was able to overcome his cognitive dissonance and consider the life-altering effects of diet. Unfortunately, after losing his father to chronic disease and a dramatic encounter in the ER, he began to search for more. Not only did he change his mind, but he opened up a plant-based lifestyle medicine practice with his wife and two friends!
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I chat with Dr. Sagar Doshi and his wife Dr. Jimisha Patel about their journey to plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine.
We discuss:
How they discovered plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine
Applying plant-based nutrition to pediatrics
What the CPR clinic is and how it came about
How they are raising their children
What Dr. Sagar’s favorite condition is to treat and and patient case that really stands out
What lifestyle medicine concept they think all doctors should utilize
What they wish more people knew
What personal habit they are most proud of and why
