“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 don’t 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 doctor’s 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, that’s something I’m very committed to”.
