"The Vitamin channel is a free to use blog that dedicates itself to wellness and health, achieved through plant-based nutrition. As a family physician I work tirelessly to promote health and counsel patients on how to avoid and manage all illnesses, including but not limited to heart disease/hypertension ,diabetes ,cancer prevention and weight management. I truly believe that we have so much control over our health if we know how to make the right food choices. This is where I believe I can serve best to help people avoid disease and feel their best.
I am happy to say that while I love blogging, I very much enjoy my “day job” as a board certified family physician. I have always known the secret to career and skillset diversification through locum work. "
