Even for docs, losing weight isn’t easy! Scott Harrington, D.O., is a board-certified Family Medicine physician with over 17 years of experience. He started his medical career using standard treatment methodologies. Then, in 2012, Dr. Harrington personally adopted a plant-based diet and saw dramatic health improvements in his energy level, athletic endurance, and recovery time. His weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels all normalized. This personal transformation convinced Dr. Harrington to shift the focus of his medical practice to teaching patients what he had learned.
Dr. Harrington went on to found Vegan Primary Care. The plant-based diet had impressive effects with his patients, many of whom were suffering with chronic illnesses. In fact, a large number of patients were able to stop their medications altogether.
Through his telemedicine practice, Dr. Harrington can see patients from 22 states. He continues to lecture on weight loss and food addiction. He can be reached at https://www.veganprimarycare.com/
