Ep. 67: Dr. Monica Aggarwal - A Doctor's Prescription for Happiness is Plants

What happens when the confident doctor becomes the desperate patient who, like the rest of us, feels powerless when we get sick?

This is the moment that board-certified cardiologist, Dr. Monica Aggarwal, describes as her moment of truth when she was diagnosed with a devastating form of rheumatoid arthritis shortly after the birth of her third child.

In an instant, she went from being an avid runner, busy doctor, and engaging parent to someone who could barely move.

Anger, blame, denial...you name it...she had it.

She also had the answer -- a radical change to her diet and lifestyle.

Our bodies have miraculous ways to heal and Dr. Aggarwal shares her prescriptions for joy, vitality and health from her book, “Body on Fire: How Inflammation Triggers Chronic Illness and the Tools We Have to Fight It.”

We know this is one prescription you’ll love to take.
