    Christina Miller, MD, FACEP, is double board-certified in emergency and integrative medicine. After spending ten years in the emergency department and serving as president of Colorado ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians), she radically changed her practice to health promotion, due to her own health concerns and being overwhelmed by the amount of chronic disease and illness seen in the ED. She studied nutritional science and plant-based nutrition, completed a fellowship in integrative medicine, and now focuses exclusively on nutrition and lifestyle changes to get to the root cause of disease and illness, while promoting wellness and longevity in each individual. Instead of treating emergencies in the ED, she is now helping to prevent and reverse chronic illnesses and empower people to live with vitality.
    She enjoys teaching plant-based, nutrient-dense cooking classes to both groups and individuals, and helped establish a free clinic outside of Aspen, Colorado for the underserved. She lectures locally, has spoken around the country with Younger Next Year best-selling author Chris Crowley, as well as in corporate wellness programs promoting good nutrition and healthy lifestyle. She has contributed significantly to the nutrition chapter for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) handbook and wrote wellness-promoting tips for the emergency physician. She is founder of Eat and Live Healthfully website and blog and served as the medical director of Aspen Valley Hospital creating their Integrative Medicine program. She was also selected to be a member of the Pitkin County Board of Health, where she helped with policy and public health concerns. In 2019, she moved to New Hampshire, worked at an integrative clinic in Vermont seeing patients, teaching classes, giving lectures, and reaching out to the local community. She is now proud to be part of the start-up company, Plantbasedtelehealth.com, offering plant-based telemedicine services to patients across the country, reaching people who otherwise wouldn’t have access. Her goal is to continue to share the information and the resources necessary to help empower people to take back their health, prevent and even reverse chronic illness, and create long-lasting true health and vitality. One of her favorite mantras is, “Together we are healthier”.
    On a personal note,
    I also have my own story, as I was diagnosed with lupus in 2009,. I had initially presented with joint pains, which rapidly progressed to heart, lung, blood vessel, and kidney involvement. I was on 6 medications, including high dose prednisone and immunosuppressants, and chemo drugs. I had to quit my job in the ER at this time, because I was so immunocompromised. It was a very depressing and dark time in my life, and I was scared for my health. This is when I googled diet for lupus patients, and learned about plant-based whole food diets. I transitioned immediately after learning about it, but my healing was still a long course. I was not one of those people who went plant-based and all of my medical problems went away. I tweaked the diet quite a bit to a full autoimmune healing diet, developed a comprehensive mind-body program to calm my nervous system and stress hormones, improved my sleep, and made other lifestyle adjustments. I also had to eliminate toxins completely and overhaul many aspects of my life. It’s been quite a journey, and I live a very different, much more awake, aware, and present life, for which I’m ultimately grateful. This is what I am so passionate, about and what I work so hard to share with my patients. I am very grateful for you inviting me to come speak with you and share the importance of diet, lifestyle, community, and maintaining hope as people heal from chronic illness, as well as about our new telemedicine practice at plantbasedtelehealth.com, where we get the opportunity to reach patients all over the country.

    Broccoli sprouts are extremely easy to grow in jars at home! I’ve grown them for years and eat them daily. There are so many videos on UA-cam on how to grow them. Excellent info on these sprouts from Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Please, check! 🌱🤗

    I was diagnosed with Stage 3b kidney disease almost six years ago. My GFR was 34 then, and when I cut out the animal protein, my GFR went up. Now that I switched to WFPB, my average GFR is in the high 50s. This was a wonderful interview. Thank you Chef AJ and Dr. Miller!

    Thanks AJ and Dr Miller. I have a friend with lupus and nobody has suggested wpfb sos-free to them. I’m Leary of putting myself out there, but I snuck it into conversation without recommending. I’m really hoping it clicks for them. It took decades for me.

      I've been spending lots of money weekly on buying the popular Supplements just to suppress my Lupus outbreaks as prescribed to me in the hospital. Anyone who has LUPUS can attest this, with all the pains and embarrassing symptoms. Unfortunately, I have found out that those hospital recommended products are frequently not effective at taking care of the problem but rather make you spend all your money. Until I met DR.AVE UDUOGIE, the Herbalist. His herbal remedy will get to the root of the cause and cure you permanently rather than suppress outbreaks with Medical pills which Causes serious damage to the body. And you will be happier, healthier, and outbreak free. He also has herbal remedies that can cure HIV, HPV, hepatitis and so on. Contact DR.AVE UDUOGIE on his email Curingstdswithherbs@gmail.com or WhatsApp/Call +1(978)4896010. You can contact him and get a permanent cure to your genital and oral Herpes,HIV Aids, Lungs cancer,HPV,Lupus,Cold sore, Blood Cancer,Diabetics,Herpes virus E.T.C...

    I grow my own broccoli in grow bags in my deck and it rarely makers it into my meals because I snack on it. It's actually very sweet tasting and full of flavor.... Not at all like the stiff from the super market and it doesn't need dressing! I also grow my own lettuce in salad towers and frequently eat out for breakfast with left overs from the night before mixed in so that outs a warm salad.... again it becomes the dressing. Great interview! I love that you're bringing new people into your talks!
