In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, Dr. Thangudu tells us her story and why she practices in a way that approaches the whole person and the root cause of their condition. We discuss her approach to diabetes and the amazing reversals that she has had the privilege of witnessing. What she has to say is incredible and so inspiring. Physicians like Dr. Thangudu give me so much hope! About featured guest: Dr. Arti Thangudu is a triple board-certified MD who specializes in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism and lifestyle medicine. She is also certified in plant-based nutrition and a certified yoga teacher. Dr. Thangudu feels it is important to address the whole person more than simply diseases, which led her to leave the largest endocrinology practice in the country to create her own clinic, Complete Medicine, where she can do just that. In her clinic, she focuses on diabetes and chronic disease prevention and reversal by optimizing lifestyle thereby reducing need for medications. She spends time with her patients to identify the root causes of their problems, whether medical, social, nutritional or all of the above, and comes up with person-centered treatment plans for each individual.    Outside of her private clinic, she serves as the endocrinologist for the retired SAPD and San Antonio firefighters. She also engages her community by giving talks and partnering with local businesses to spread the message of healthful lifestyle. In her free time, she explores San Antonio and travels with her husband and two young children.   Arti Thangudu https://sacomplete.com https://instagram.com/drartithangudu/   Disclaimer: The information on this blog, website and podcast is for informational purposes only.
