Dr. Monica Aggarwal and Lee discuss her diet growing up and a crippling chronic illness that she suffered shortly after the birth of her third child.  She shares how her condition threatened to end her life as she knew it, including her medical practice.  Dr. Aggarwal describes the terrible side effects of the medications she was prescribed and how her research into possible alternatives led her to information on plant-based nutrition.  Her adoption of a plant-based diet led to her ability to taper off all her meds, and today her health has been completely restored.  She now recommends plant-based nutrition to her patients with outstanding results.Dr. Monica Aggarwalis a Board certified cardiologist in Baltimore, MD. She has expertise in heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and prevention of these and other conditions. Her path in prevention started with a severe illness.  It was then, with the fear she would never practice medicine again, that she found her path to whole body medicine. One of her main focuses is educating people about the importance of plant-based nutrition and its benefits in treating and potentially reversing chronic illness.
