Dr. Andrew Freeman, MD, Cardiologist
"When I started my practice, I was good at diagnostics and prescribing medicine," says Dr. Freeman. "But many of my patients were dependent on pills and not getting better."
So he started learning about how a plant-based diet, in addition to standard medical treatment, could help his patients fight heart disease. Then about six years ago, after months of research, his life changed personally and professionally.
"I had a cheeseburger for dinner," remembers Dr. Freeman. "Then I finished reading The China Study that night and started a vegan diet the next day."
Within a few months, he lost 35 pounds, and his health improved so much that he received a rebate following his next life insurance physical. He soon began recommending a plant-based diet to all of his patients.
"The No.1 question from patients is about diet," says Dr. Freeman. "First, I ask my patients for permission to be critical of their diets. Then we have a patient-centered discussion that takes into account their values, culinary skills, socio-economic situation, and other factors."
