Food as Medicine

Food as Part of Lifestyle Medicine

 

Many chronic diseases find their roots in the foods we eat. Choosing and eating the right foods are a crucial foundation for lifelong health. Clinical research and experience have repeatedly shown that dietary choices can influence the course of, and have the potential to reverse, chronic diseases.

 

Patients in our practice receive an evaluation of whether and how their diet may contribute to disease, followed by a “food as medicine” prescription that details food plans that can help them get back on the path to health.

 

Health coaches and Dr. Wang follow up with patients on a regular basis to provide guidance and adjustments to the food plans. Health coaches are an integral part of the integrative and functional medicine care team, and Dr. Wang collaborates with them on the care of his patients.
