Welcome
Welcome! I’m George Guthrie, MD, and I practice Family Medicine in Central Florida.
Do you, like many of my patients, often feel drained and exhausted, barely making it through the day instead of really living life?
Are you tired of taking handfuls of expensive medications but still not feeling well?
Maybe you’re one of the millions who suffer with chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or obesity.
Perhaps you’ve heard about the many health benefits of a plant-based diet, but aren’t sure if it’s for you, or where to start?
Or you’re just curious— not ready to switch over but would like to make small changes in the right direction.
If you find yourself nodding your head, keep reading. There is hope for better days ahead.
Early in my medical career, I was amazed to see the power of simple lifestyle changes to radically change people’s lives and eliminate disease.
This inspired me to return to school to earn a graduate MPH (master’s in public health) degree in nutrition.
Over the years, I’ve worked with clinic patients, community-based lifestyle-change programs and live-in intensive lifestyle intervention programs to help people restore health and decrease reliance on prescription medicines. I currently teach physician residents just starting out how to use diet and exercise as tools for healing.
I’ve seen many people, like you, who’ve experienced dramatic transformation through the whole food plant-based way of living presented on this website and in our featured resources.
Highly processed, refined foods that make up much of our standard American diet (SAD), coupled with inactivity, have now been identified as causes for most of our chronic health issues.
At the same time, a growing body of evidence demonstrates that whole, unprocessed, plant-based foods support the body’s natural healing power, improving or even reversing some of the biggest killer diseases today!
Are you ready to discover how these principles can change your life?
If so, I highly recommend starting your journey to better health by watching the documentary “Plantwise”.
Then be sure to check out the life-changing videos and articles including 18-days to Wholeness, Reversing Type 2 Diabetes, Practical Weight Loss, Four Culprits of the Standard American Diet, and more.
It will be my privilege to teach and guide you along the path to a longer, happier, and healthier life. So, get ready to harness the healing power of plants, and experience your own personal transformation!
