In this episode of Momlight, I sat down with Dr. Robert Graham, founder of FRESH MED that is pioneering a whole new way of treating patients for radiant health. We talked about the integrative medicine approach and how the FRESH FIVE are the key pillars to health.  Dr Graham rightfully believes that “food plays a major role not only in the treatment of existing diseases, but also in health promotion and disease prevention.” Dr. Graham is the real deal as he is one of the less than 20 doctor/chefs worldwide helping patients thrive by combining conventional medicine with an integrative approach.  Dr. Graham is a Harvard-trained physician, Board Certified in both Internal and Integrative Medicine and has over 15 years of clinical experience. Dr. Graham received a Master’s of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health while completing fellowships in General Internal Medicine and Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies at Harvard Medical School and Medical Education at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He also completed course-work in Mind/Body Medicine, Positive Psychology, Lifestyle Medicine, Culinary Medicine, Botanical and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2018, Dr. Graham became a rare breed of doctor chefs as he obtained his culinary degree from the Natural Gourmet Institute. In the summer of 2016, Dr. Graham started FRESH MED, an integrative health and wellness center at SHIFT WELLNESS, where he currently sees patients. FRESH is an INTEGRATIVE HEALTH practice that represents a paradigm shift from the conventional approach of "a pill for an ill" to one that "addresses the root cause of disease." The FRESH model of healthcare combines the best of conventional medicine including diagnostic testing, tools and technologies, as well as clinical nutrition, functional medicine, health coaching (grounded in positive psychology), complementary therapies, and extensive and innovative testing.  Dr. Graham believes healing should be a fully collaborative meaningful partnership between the doctor and the patient, and believes wellness is just as important as treatment.
