Summary
Rip welcomes Dr. Niki Davis, a former rocket scientist-turned-lifestyle medicine physician.
Dr. Davis discusses her transition from engineering to promoting a plant-based lifestyle at Love Life Telehealth. She reflects on the influence of a plant-based diet on her career shift, and the impact of whole-food, plant-based nutrition on patient care.
The conversation explores "de-prescribing medications," empowering patients through lifestyle changes, and the transformative effects of a plant-based diet on health outcomes.
She also shares some of the lessons and wisdom she gleaned working under the late, great Dr. John McDougall.
Her second career has really "taken off" and we're thrilled to share it.
