How My Daughter Saved Me

Conditions: Rheumatoid Arthritis

Dr. Monica Aggarwal is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the cardiovascular division of the University of Florida. She developed an advanced form of rheumatoid arthritis after the birth of her third child. Suffering through the horrible adverse side effects of the drugs she was prescribed, Dr. Aggarwal learned first-hand the power of lifestyle medicine and the power of a whole food, plant-based diet to reverse disease. Today, she is the Director of Integrative Cardiology & Prevention at the University of Florida, promoting food as the foundation of healing. Dr. Aggarwal gives presentations throughout the country and has been featured in plant-based magazines. She has published research in major medical journals such as the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and the American Journal of Medicine.
