Plant Docs Wants You To Take Fewer Pills
FEATURED IN THE BOSTON GLOBE
Written by By Alexa Gagosz
A longtime physician who has specialized in nutrition, Dr. Sandra Musial has wondered why her peers were not discussing plant-based options with their patients. She would reference The China Study, which looked at how consuming whole, plant-based foods can dramatically decrease a patient's risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. In many instances, Musial found, medication wasn't always the answer. In 2021, Musial left her job at Hasbro Children's Hospital and cofounded Plant Docs with Dr. Suyin Lee and Dr. Steven Stein. The nonprofit, which is based in the cellar of Plant City in Providence, helps educate people how going vegan can prevent - and sometimes even reverse - chronic diseases.
