***Forgive us as we were fighting some slight technical difficulties*** Welcome to Episode 4 of our limited series highlighting the impressive VeganStrong PlantBuilt Athletic Team (myself included) that is headed to the Mr. America Fitness Competition in October of 2023. Ever wondered how a powerhouse vegan athlete, cancer survivor, and naturopathic doctor fuels her body and keeps her health in peak condition? Meet Dr. Sarah Kashdan, our guest on today's show, who embodies the perfect fusion of Eastern and Western medical training to deliver a holistic healthcare experience. Sarah's journey is one of transformation - from a meat-heavy diet to veganism, following her ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2012. Her passion for animals, compassionate living and personal health crisis catalyzed her shift to plant-based living and naturopathic medicine. We dig deeper into Sarah's unique approach to healthcare, exploring her focus on systems rather than symptoms. She shares how this integrative approach, coupled with a generous time investment in each patient, allows her to uncover root causes of health issues.
