Episode 62: Food and lifestyle medicine to support your body’s healing process and weight loss journey with Dr Ritu Saluja Sharma, MD, Integrative Nutrition Health and Wellness coach

Today Dr Ritu Saluja Sharma, lifestyle medicine physician and integrative nutrition health and wellness coach is coming to the show. 

Ritu is a MD, a board certified emergency medicine physician, a wife and a Mom. 

She has created her own weight loss program after studying lifestyle medicine. She wanted to have a program where people can make real and lasting change.  Rather than just treating disease,  she wanted to address the root causes of illness, and help people achieve their best health and true wellness.

She considers that she is here to empower the members of her health and wellness program with the information and tools that most doctors don't have time to share with their patients.  This information and these tools can transform your life.

Dr Ritu came to the show today to talk about food choices not only help you to lose weight but also play a huge role in your recovery process after giving birth. If you’re new to this show, this might be a new notion for you, but my guests and I really see and value food and nutrition habits as important and amazing tools to support your recovery after giving birth. 

We talked about weight loss coming from a place of abundance of nutrients, a place of nourishment rather than being the fruit of restrictions and interdictions and what it means for your recovery process. Dr Ritu even shared some super useful and simple tips with us.

 

Dr Ritu and I talked about: 

👩‍⚕️ What is lifestyle medicine and its 6 pillars

👩‍⚕️ How they all work together to help us to live a longer, healthier life, prevent disease, and help you lose weight in the long term 

👩‍⚕️ Her tips to promote postpartum weight loss 

👩‍⚕️ How a micronutrient-rich diet is more powerful than calorie counting

👩‍⚕️ Her 5 top foods to promote nourishment, recovery, and weight loss
