Welcome to DrMarymd.com

I’ve been an Internal Medicine doctor for almost twenty years. I started my nutrition education six years ago, after I adopted a vegan diet and cured my pre-diabetes. Now, I counsel all of my patients on the benefits of a plant-based diet.

Don’t get me wrong. My patients aren’t all plant-based eaters. Some people do come to see me for advice on subtle modifications of an already healthy lifestyle. The majority of my patients, however, suffer with common ailments associated with SAD (the Standard American Diet), including diabetes, obesity, heart disease and cancer. Many of my patients have hypertension and chronic gastrointestinal issues of constipation or bloating. Frequently, I’m working to help a person add just one more serving of vegetables to their diet!

I’m working with ordinary people, maybe people who are just like you. People who are struggling with health problems and obesity. People who want to feel better through eating better and exercising, but they just don’t know how to get started. I can help you with tips and tricks that I’ve learned for myself, taught my patients, and then modified a hundred times through my own practice. You’re getting the benefit of an office visit in the privacy of your home, on your schedule, through my blog.

Live it up!
