Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 175-There is Always Hope for a Healthier You

Welcome, and thank you for listening.  My Grandmother used to say, "If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride".  Can you hear the Irish self determination in that?  My Italian Grandmother would say, "If everyone hung their dirty laundry out, you would want to bring your own back in".  These were two of the most self sufficient determined women I have every met.  There lives were anything but easy and they are largely why I became a physician so that others would not have their lives cut short by lifestyle diseases.  Could I have convinced them to change to a plant based lifestyle?  I am sure that I could have and I sure wish that I had the chance.  

But I am happy to be able to light a fire under you to change your nutrition so that you can avoid or reverse lifestyle diseases.  There is nothing in eggs or cheese burgers worth dying for.  And if that is all that makes you happy right now then you need to start the journey to look elsewhere.  I would venture to say that it is not too far away. Friends don't let friends drive drunk but they certainly help you to eat poorly.  It takes great courage for someone to say, hey, let's not eat that greasy, salty food today.  Let me treat you to a plant based dish that I enjoy.  

If you are stuck, pick your self up and take the first step.  Eat a healthy breakfast, try some greens for lunch and take a five minute walk.  Tomorrow, repeat and add a little more.  You will feel better.  We would love to help you on your journey to health and wellness.  Having a positive mental attitude is everything.  Check out the website at doctordulaney.com to let us help you get back on offense.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com and follow me on Instagram and Facebook @jaimeladulaney.
