Ep. 28: Dr. Michelle McMacken - Why She Created a Broccoli Hotline

Ep. 28: Dr. Michelle McMacken - Why She Created a Broccoli Hotline

After attending a lifestyle medicine conference, Dr. Michelle McMacken changed her philosophy about patient care overnight. Now, she routinely prescribes plants over pills in her practice and, through compassionate consultations, opens wide the door to change.

At Bellevue Hospital in New York City, McMacken is the lead physician on a plant-based pilot program designed to provide people with education and support. During the launch in 2019, overwhelming interest forced McMacken to set up a “Broccoli Hotline” to field calls from hundreds of New Yorkers who wanted to participate.

Clearly, Dr. McMacken has the Heart of a Hero.

Not only is she saving lives through her work, but she is setting a trusted example for hospitals around the world to follow. How? She starts by asking her patients a single, revolutionary question: “What foods do you like to eat?”

Please enjoy today's conversation.
