Plant Powered Book Club: What's Missing from Medicine

In May, we’ll discuss What’s Missing from Medicine: Six Lifestyle Changes to Overcome Chronic Illness by Saray Stancic, MD. In this inspirational book, Dr. Stancic shares her personal struggle with multiple sclerosis and how, after stumbling upon studies linking multiple sclerosis outcomes to diet and lifestyle, she undertook a radically different approach to managing her illness. Today, Dr. Stancic is active, symptom-free, and takes no medications for MS. She offers simple, practical, and affordable steps to take control of your health through plant-based nutrition, daily movement, stress management, adequate sleep, and human connection and urges the medical community to make these lifestyle upgrades an integral part of helping patients overcome chronic disease. 

Please note that this is a book group discussion and will not include a report on the contents of the book. Those who have not read any of the book will find less value in the discussion than those who read at least some if not all of it.

This monthly series is facilitated by Lynn Diamond, PPMNY's Associate Network Director & Director of Community Education.

Registrants will receive a Zoom link on the day of the event.
