I am a medical doctor from South Africa who has seen way too much unnecessary suffering from diseases that could have been prevented through healthier lifestyle habits. 

​

My experience of medicine in South Africa and around the world is that we are treating the symptoms of disease, while ignoring the root causes. We hand out medication like candy, without addressing lifestyle. And while medication is absolutely necessary in many cases, we cannot write a prescription and consider our jobs done. We need to be more proactive in preventing the diseases of lifestyle that plague our populations, and need to have a more holistic view of treating our patients, by addressing their diets and lifestyles. 

​

The articles and videos on my website are aimed at providing evidence-based information for both doctors and the general population regarding a plant-based diet and other lifestyle factors in the prevention and management of many of the diseases we face today.
