****Last Wednesday of the month, Plant Based Whole Food Pot-Luck after Wellness Wednesday. Details below.

In Lifestyle Medicine, we teach patients how to incorporate more plants into their diet. Did you know adding more plants to your diet on a regular basis can help with weight loss, GI issues, improved immunity, enhance sleep and even aid in our mental health. All from plants! Variety is key and new research shows we should be aiming for a variety of 30 different plants per week. We encourage you to try a new recipe and/or put plant-based spin on oldie but goodie favorite recipe.
