Plant - Based Interventional Cardiologist   Interview With Dr. Koushik Reddy And Family

This episode is brought to you in part by the Patrons of this podcast. As of the publish of this episode in October 2018, there are 32 people who proudly support this podcast through per-episode donations. What do they get out of the deal? Most important to them, they’re supporting a message that they know will one day change the world. They believe in me and the work that I am doing, and for that I am humbled and grateful. By becoming a sustaining member and Patron, you will not only get special perks like submitting your questions for guests, google hangout sessions, Ian Cramer Podcast stickers and state of the Podcast summaries, but you’ll also help perpetuate this message by helping off set production costs to keep the metaphorical lights on, you’ll also help fund marketing efforts and help me buy books written by future guests, supplies and equipment to keep the podcast going. Think about it and check out Patreon.com/IanCramerPodcast for more details on how this works. No donation is more important than another, every bit counts. Reach out if you have questions. Dr. Koushik Reddy is a physician working for the Department of Veteran’s Affairs in Tampa, Florida. Although his story has its unique details, his overall journey to find lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition is like many others. He learned about how the human body works and trained in traditional western medicine techniques. He had an ‘Ah ha” moment and realized there must be another way to practice medicine. He stood on the shoulders of giants in the field and learned from the teachings of many physicians who were the early trailblazers. And now practices and teaches lifestyle medicine to everyone he encounters and is now truly helping people realize the healthy lives they were meant to live. I will include, in the show notes,  an article Dr. Reddy penned which outlines the way he used to practice medicine and how that all changed. It’s his whole story in 4 pages. The piece is entitled “I have a carrot and a stent, you pick”. This encompasses Dr. Reddy and his style of medicine so well because with what he knows now, he puts much of the responsibility of the patient’s health back in their hands and helps them realize that the power was always in their hands, and in some cases, gives them a second chance at life. I can’t say it any better than he can, so lets get right into this weeks conversation, on Episode #51, with Dr. Koushik Reddy. I’m very grateful for those of you who are listening who are Patrons, those of you have shared the podcast with your friends or on social media, or the 91 of you who have written a positive and honest review on iTunes. It means a lot, it gives me encouragement that I am doing something that has meaning in people’s lives. This message is for everyone else. I’d love for you to be part of the team, part of this movement. If this podcast has made you smarter, healthier and more informed, or even if it’s helped you avoid or reduce medications or a stent or other procedure, how much is that worth to you? If I have helped you, would you consider helping me further this message and my work? Never expected, but always appreciated. If you want to see what you can do to help, check out Patreon.com/IanCramerPodcast to find out about how you can help spread this message. We’ll see you next episode. And until that time, keep eating more plants, stay curious, remain responsible and compassionate ambassadors to this movement and may you live to be 100 years old.
