Welcome to Food Dude, MD!

This site was a long time in the making. I just didn’t know that this is what I’d be making. For years, I devoured everything I could learn about food. I tried new foods, cooked new dishes, learned about how economic and social forces shape the foods that different people have access to. Turns out, food is connected to pretty much everything that humans do. Including climate change.

Then came the moment where I knew it was time: seemingly all at once, several of my family members were diagnosed with cancer and other diseases related to diet and lifestyle. My wife and I looked at our lives and saw that even we, as doctors, weren’t living up to the recommended minimums for a healthy diet and physical activity. That wasn’t the way we wanted to live or raise our kids. So we started to live what I call a regenerative lifestyle: plant-forward diets, rich in physical activity, and getting rid of the chemicals and products that we know contribute to making the planet sicker, too.

My hope is to share our stories, successes and challenges in this process. I want you to learn from our accumulated knowledge and experience so that you can make informed choices to promote health and reduce suffering in your own life. I hope you’re hungry!

Things are just breaking ground here at Food Dude, MD. Here are couple projects on the horizon:

1. Reviews of all kinds. All products, services, and media that I review are things that I have personally used or consumed, and often purchased myself – not a paid promotion. Posts will contain affiliate links and I may receive a commission from products purchased via embedded links.
2. Q&A videos (via TikTok @fooddudemd). Have a specific question about how to live a healthy, regenerative lifestyle? Let me know and I’ll do my best to make a short video response for everyone to benefit from!

As these projects become available, the first people to find out will get an email from me. Don’t be the last to find out about these and other new projects as they come out, join the email list!
