What are Plant-Based Telehealth Visits?
Plant-based telehealth visits connect you with board-certified lifestyle medicine physicians, registered dietitians, and health coaches trained in plant-based nutrition through secure online platforms. These visits are designed to:
Educate you about plant-predominant nutrition
Guide you to create sustainable dietary habits
Manage or reverse chronic diseases (e.g. type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease)
Support weight loss and healthy BMI maintenance
Improve overall wellness, energy, and longevity
Unlike generic diet consultations, plant-based telehealth visits at Medical Wellness Doc integrate medical expertise, evidence-based guidelines, and personalized plans to achieve real, measurable results.
Why Choose a Plant-Based Diet for Health?
Plant-based diets emphasize whole, minimally processed foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, while minimizing or eliminating animal products. Extensive research supports plant-based nutrition for:
✅ Weight Loss and Maintenance Lower calorie density, higher fiber, and satiety-enhancing properties support natural weight loss without calorie restriction.
✅ Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Studies show that plant-based diets improve insulin sensitivity and can reverse type 2 diabetes under medical supervision.
✅ Heart Disease Prevention and Reversal A plant-based diet lowers LDL cholesterol, reduces inflammation, and reverses atherosclerosis.
✅ Hypertension Reduction High potassium and low sodium intake from plant-based diets naturally lowers blood pressure.
✅ Cancer Risk Reduction Increased intake of phytonutrients, fiber, and antioxidants reduces risks of certain cancers.
✅ Improved Gut Health High fiber supports healthy gut microbiota, improving digestion and immunity.
✅ Enhanced Longevity and Energy Plant-based diets reduce risk of all-cause mortality and improve quality of life.
