Cynthia Thurlow | Reimagining Medicine_ The Lifestyle Revolution

And started to force me to think more about nutrition and lifestyle of medicine. Fast forward a few years. I had a second child who did not have any food allergies, thank goodness. And I just became increasingly disillusioned with traditional allopathic medicine. There's certainly a place. Let me be very clear. But I did not like the de emphasization on lifestyle as medicine. I started to look at most of my patients and say, if you didn't have diabetes, if you weren't a vascular path, it means they had, you know, head to toe vascular disease if they could manage their stress. I lived in Washington, D.C. one of the most stressful place to live in the United States, and not just in an election year. And helping people understand that the choices we make about managing our sleep and our stress and exercising and the types of food we eat are important, probably more so than anything else.
