For years, Dr. Suzannah Bozzone was prescribing medicine which she herself would not have taken. She grew frustrated by the seemingly incurable state of our most prevalent, deadly and costly chronic diseases. Then she found Lifestyle Medicine, which is not only strongly evidence-based, but resonated with her desire to treat herself, her family and her patients more in accordance with nature’s guidance and, most importantly, addressing diseases from their root causes, rather than covering up symptoms. Best of all, this method empowers patients, rather than dictating dependence on our pharmaceutically-driven medical system.Dr. Bozzone completed training as a yoga teacher in 2009. In 2017, she became a diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Bozzone shares with us her path towards discovering lifestyle medicine. We learn about her community-based programs which are focused on diet, exercise, sleep, emotional health and stress management to achieve optimal health. She is the co-founder of True Health Journey. The next Plant Based Nutrition Kickstart 101 begins as this episode is being released, March 3. This is a virtual 8 sessions series. Dr. Bozzone tells us about the kickstart program and what it entails. It includes the foundations of balanced plant based nutrition, recipes, the science and comparison to other common diet beliefs, the how to, and plenty of fun discussion with herself and her business partner certified health coach and registered nurse Christine Smith. Finally, Dr. Bozzone will give us a couple of tips for starting a healthier lifestyle.Contact Dr. Suzannah Bozzone:Website: www.mytruehealthjourney.comSocial Media: (FB, Insta, and Youtube) @mytruehealthjourneyEmail: mytruehealthjourney@gmail.comWhole Food Plant Based Kickstart 101: (Foundations of health optimizing plant-based nutrition) is March 3-29th, 2021, virtual and videos available x 3mo.Whole Food Plant Based Kickstart 201:(Food as Medicine) is April 14-May 10th virtualhttps://www.mytruehealthjourney.com/new-events/2021/3/3/plant-based-kickstart-101-seriesLucy Cate and the Yummy Rainbow Book: https://www.amazon.com/Yummy-Rainbow-Daniella-Suzannah-Bozzone/dp/1695986369Support the show
