#99.5: Plantbasedtelehealth.com: What, Why and How with Dr. Chris Miller
“Having stress is like eating red steak for dinner every night. It’s causing the same inflammation in our bodies.” -Dr. Chris Miller
Dr. Chris Miller was once a sleep-deprived, fast-paced ER physician who felt that she was at the top of her game when she was diagnosed with debilitating autoimmune disease. Determined to find a way to heal herself though alternative methods, she discovered plant-based nutrition and other modalities that have helped her ditch most of her meds and increase her wellbeing and joy.
Her journey taught her a lot and also helped her discover a new career path.
And now she has joined forces with her friend and colleague, Dr. Laurie Marbas, so start an incredible service, www.plantbasedtelehealth.com.
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Dr. Chris about lifestyle telemedicine and how it might be able to help so many.

More about my honored guest:
Christina Miller, MD, FACEP, is double board-certified in emergency and integrative medicine. After spending ten years in the emergency department and serving as president of Colorado ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians), she radically changed her practice to health promotion, due to her own health concerns and being overwhelmed by the amount of chronic disease and illness seen in the ED. She studied nutritional science and plant-based nutrition, completed a fellowship in integrative medicine, and now focuses exclusively on nutrition and lifestyle changes to get to the root cause of disease and illness, while promoting wellness and longevity in each individual. Instead of treating emergencies in the ED, she is now helping to prevent and reverse chronic illnesses and empower people to live with vitality.
She enjoys teaching plant-based, nutrient-dense cooking classes to both groups and individuals, and helped establish a free clinic outside of Aspen, Colorado for the underserved. She lectures locally, has spoken around the country with Younger Next Year best-selling author Chris Crowley, as well as in corporate wellness programs promoting good nutrition and healthy lifestyle. She has contributed significantly to the nutrition chapter for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) handbook and wrote wellness-promoting tips for the emergency physician. She is founder of Eat and Live Healthfully website and blog and served as the medical director of Aspen Valley Hospital creating their Integrative Medicine program. She was also selected to be a member of the Pitkin County Board of Health, where she helped with policy and public health concerns. In 2019, she moved to New Hampshire, worked at an integrative clinic in Vermont seeing patients, teaching classes, giving lectures, and reaching out to the local community. She is now proud to be part of the start-up company, Plantbasedtelehealth.com, offering plant-based telemedicine services to patients across the country, reaching people who otherwise wouldn’t have access. Her goal is to continue to share the information and the resources necessary to help empower people to take back their health, prevent and even reverse chronic illness, and create long-lasting true health and vitality. One of her favorite mantras is, “Together we are healthier”.
