With the internet providing access to so many health experts and talking heads, we often get asked ‘who can be trusted, to watch or follow online, even to enjoy?’ The answer is not always obvious, as those in the media spotlight have their own area of expertise, biases, even their own unique style of presentation.
Whether you are part of our Singapore or global community, in this series of posts we present some of the key online health leaders whose media channels we enjoy.
Meet Dr. Neal Barnard; healthy nutrition and vegan advocate
A small disclaimer, we do not necessarily endorse or agree everything that our featured personalities nor their guests might say, but we do enjoy the general direction that they take. Please talk to your doctor, or medical practitioner most familiar with your medical history, before implementing any changes in diet, exercise or lifestyle, especially if you are under treatment.
Following a strictly vegan, 100% plant based diet necessitates careful attention to one's dietary choices in order to reap the associated health benefits. Prioritising your own self-care is the vital first step to improving your health and long-term wellbeing. Wherever you are in your journey to health, at The Whole Health Practice we work with you, to turn knowledge and intent into targeted and effective action.
Stay Healthy,
Alastair
Dr. Neal Barnard MD FACC / Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Dr. Barnard's extensive research explores the impact of diet on various health conditions, notably leading a groundbreaking NIH-funded study on dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, challenging the notion of its irreversibility. With over 100 scientific publications and 20 books to his name, Dr. Barnard advocates for preventive medicine and ethical research standards as president of the Physicians Committee, contributing to the integration of plant-based diets in national guidelines.
Dr. Barnard earned his M.D. degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine and established the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, promoting nutrition as a core component of medical care.
