"The medical community needs to begin uniting - to figure out how our diet and how food becomes a tool in the toolbox so that we dont become solely reliant on medications, surgery and other more traditional procedures, and we have a more truly patient-centred approach that is more comprehensive.
I also believe very strongly that healthcare is what actually happens to a patient between the visits that they have to a doctors office or a hospital, and so how do we address and amplify our understanding and help people become more empowered to really perform that type of healthcare, thats something Im very committed to".
