Food as Medicine

“1/2 your plate can be veggies”

We had exchanged pleasantries…

I had asked her how she found me and asked that she thank the referee on my behalf …

Then we got to tips to eating better to feel better…

It was going to be a 3 week trial

We had negotiated this length

As part of reaching her own health goals…

not just the ones I suggested for her

I suggested “1/2 your plate can be veggies” for starters…

She looked confident…

French fries don’t count I added “gently”

”Doc it’s like you read my mind”

Then we belly laugh

Clear throat … then I shared the science of cravings and how obesity is a medical condition and can be treated with and without medications…

We would try food - as medicine…

I concurred and suggested a health coach to help!

“We’re off to a good start Doc”

yes we are! Yes we are!

Conversations continue!

I’d like to partner with you to help you live long and well, one habit one decision at a time!

Sincerely,

Dr. Olabintan
