Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the specific illness and the individual person, however there are many illnesses commonly thought to be incurable which are in fact reversible with a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) lifestyle.
No. We like describing our way of eating and lifestyle as “Whole Food Plant-Based” (WFPB) because it is intentionally vague! We feel this description is not so much a label as an indicator that a person derives the majority of their calories from unrefined plant foods. If a person eating a Standard American Diet (SAD) joins our program and we can get them to improve their diet by say, 50%, by incorporating unrefined plant foods, this person will see significant benefits from making a 50% change. However the more unrefined plant foods you eat, the healthier you will become.
All medicines determined to be noncritical are discontinued immediately under Dr. Weiss’ medical supervision. Additional medicines may be stopped by Dr Weiss as you continue a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) lifestyle.
Absolutely. Dr Weiss can function as your primary doctor or as a nutritional consultant to your primary doctor or specialists.
Our Lifestyle Foundation program is specifically designed to address issues like this. It is quite common for a person making a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) transformation to be living with family members and socializing with friends who do not share the same desire to change their diets. We show you how to make this process easier and teach you how to be a model for your family and friends.
We would suggest that you submit a detailed 7-day dietary log to us at patientcare@ethosprimarycare.com. We will review it and share our feedback.
