I have been whole food plant-based (WFPB) off and on (more off) since September 2013. In February 2015, I stupidly started going back to eating poorly. I did catch myself before going all the way back. The problem is I did this three times, and the third was the worst.

In March 2022, I weighed 247, A1C was 9.7 and I was on insulin, both fast-acting and long-term. I also had a transient ischemic attack (TIA). That woke me up. I immediately went back to a WFPB lifestyle and I haven't looked back.

I'm off insulin and on the 28th of September my A1C was 6.0 and my total cholesterol was 89 with LDL at 36. Today, October 27, I weigh 195.2.

I became a Plant Based TeleHealth patient of Dr. Chris Miller on the 31st of May. She has been an incredible coach, guiding me toward getting healthier by the day. Her advice of what to eat and how much has been spot on. She also got me “moving” to the extent that I am a walking maniac.

Since the first of September, I have walked over 200 miles. Each day I walk from 3.5 to 5 miles. Yesterday was 4 miles, the day before it was 5, and the day before that it was 4 miles. My goal is 1,000 miles in a year. I'm on track to actually walk over 1,200 miles in one year.

Thanks, PBTH, particularly to Dr. Chris Miller. I love you for what you've done for me Chris.

After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I started working with Dr. Davis. In 3 months my A1C dropped from 12.2 to 7.6. I lost 26 pounds and my cholesterol dropped from 215 to 168. I'm excited to see the changes and know I can continue and get my A1C and weight within normal range.

The word I would use to describe my experience working with Dr. Miller is transformative. As a physician and father of four in my mid-forties, I have spent the last twenty years caring for others while I watched my own health slowly deteriorate. Sadly, as a healthcare provider, I had some idea what I should be doing but I could not manage to bring it to fruition until I began working with Dr. Miller.

Over the past four months, I have lost forty pounds and re-discovered energy I thought had left me forever. Dr. Miller is everything you would want in a provider: Empathetic, engaged, incredibly knowledgeable, and creative. Dr. Miller explained to me early that it wasn't so much learning to eat healthy and exercise but rather to identify as a person living a healthy lifestyle. By changing your identity, these lifestyle modifications do not feel like a diet or a program, but rather an evolution into who you were meant to be.

I would highly recommend Dr. Miller to anyone trying to fully realize their wellness and potential to lead their best life.

I have been very pleased, and reassured, by speaking with Dr. Miller.

Even though I have been a whole food plant-based eater for a number of years, my body was giving off signals that all was not right. A gout flare-up being one of them.

One conversation with Dr. Miller gave me the advice I needed to get that back under control. I am working with her on a more serious issue related to heart health. We are working together to understand what is happening via tests. This will help her work on a plan to reduce my risk of disease.

Dr. Miller is giving me the confidence that there are solutions using plant-based medicine. And I love her smile and radiant energy. Talking with her gives a boost to my day.

In the summer of 2021, I became sick with severe sinus, throat and lung inflammation. I also developed severe sudden food allergies causing more pain and misery. In looking to take some action, I found Dr. Miller and Plant Based TeleHealth.

Prior to the first appointment, a long food and lifestyle questionnaire was requested. While completing, I felt hope that there are actually things we can do.

Dr. Miller came up with a plan for me. It seemed radical at first – lots of greens, removing inflammatory food and lifestyle changes. But I was desperate and jumped in. At the end of the call, I was so sick and said, “If I do this will I feel better?” “Yes” was her reply. I held onto that.

She knew what tests to order and exactly what to do about the results. At times the journey has been hard and I wanted to go back to my old easy ways but she always told the truth even when it was hard. Stick with the plan and let your body heal. She adjusted based on symptoms.

I would read about miracle recoveries and get discouraged when I wasn't fully healed in a few months. But Dr. Miller reminded me that this is a process and to stay with it. Week by week, month by month, I stuck it out and six months later, I feel healthy! A completely different person. Your body has amazing abilities to heal. I trust that Dr. Miller can help anyone.

I always thought I was a healthy eater but was blindsided at a recent doctor’s appointment when I was told my cholesterol and blood pressure were high. My combined cholesterol was 243 and my LDL was 172. What was worse is that a cat scan revealed plaque buildup in my left coronary artery.
With three kids and a wife at home, I was worried. I am only 45 years old and didn’t want to have a heart attack or be on meds for the rest of my life. This is when I discovered the healing power of plants and the amazing Dr. Miller at Plant Based TeleHealth. I know there are a lot of amazing doctors here but Dr. Miller is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and genuinely interested in her patients’ well being.

Within two months of eating a strict whole food plant based diet, I dropped my combined cholesterol 100 points down to 143! My LDL was cut to 83. My inflammation markers are all very low and my blood pressure has returned to normal.

I feel better than I can ever remember! I even lost 20 pounds in the process. I am a complete believer now that food can be your medicine! I encourage anyone facing any health issue to give it a try.

It is 100 percent worth it and you have absolutely nothing to lose except a few pounds and maybe some meds!

Thank you so much for starting Plant Based TeleHealth. You would think, living in Northern California, it would be easy to find a plant based doc but I have scoured the internet and done all kinds of searches and still couldn’t find anyone that would truly put health and nutrition at the forefront and only after that reach for the prescription pad.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Scheuer. She was easy to talk to, informative, and compassionate. I walked away from that visit with more resources than I have ever gotten from a physician. And it actually fixed my problem!

Thank you for all you are doing to help people along the journey to true health.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chris Miller for nearly a year now, and the value of Plant Based TeleHealth is a real asset; I feel blessed to have found their practice. This type of lifestyle medicine is so much more personal and fulfilling; just because I do not live in the same state is no barrier and I truly appreciate that aspect.

Prior to seeking out her expertise for some abnormal thyroid lab values, fatigue, and sleep disruption issues, I had been whole food plant-based (WFPB), SOS-free* for over 10 years. I had no issues/challenges with my food choices (I am now actually a much better cook) and had made several positive lifestyle changes, but this piece was puzzling. From my very first telemedicine visit with Dr. Miller, I knew this was a positive choice for me; this type of medicine is a true partnership in my health and well-being.

Dr. Miller worked with me to identify potential root causes, explore options for the best way to treat the issues. I eliminated some foods, made other changes to work on my sleep hygiene, and over time saw improvements in my issues.

More recently I developed a significant disruption in my gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome. No tangible root cause could be identified. After ruling out any obvious causes, Dr. Miller worked with me over several weeks, removing certain foods from my diet, essentially resetting my microbiome, and very slowly had me reintroduce foods in a phased approach that spanned several weeks. It is a slow process, but I am on the road to a much happier GI microbiome. Thank you Dr. Miller for your collaboration as we “tested my GI system,” so to speak.

The knowledge Dr. Miller and the staff of the PBTH have is far-reaching and their combined years of experience and expertise contribute to providing expertise in all areas of health, and wellness. Having access to a practice that believes in the power of a WFPB lifestyle is priceless.

* “SOS-free” means that no salt, oil, or sugar have been added to the food at any stage of preparation.

I have been so fortunate to access care from Plant Based TeleHealth (PBTH). From my first point of contact, the team at PBTH has been professional and knowledgeable in all areas of whole food plant-based nutrition.

Dr. Jeffrey Pierce was so generous and skilled in monitoring my progress and responding in real time to the digestive symptoms that were aggravating my autoimmune disease. Having been whole food plant-based for 3 years already, I was so surprised that I had so much more to learn. I was impressed with the additional free resources I was immediately given and the care I received every step of the way along the journey towards better health and healing. Dr. Pierce was both realistic and encouraging, not only applying his own expertise but also seeking out the expertise of the team to help guide me in the best way forward.

Accessing the PBTH network gave me the tools I needed to change the course of the autoimmune disease plaguing me for 20 years. I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Pierce and to the many doctors who work tirelessly at PBTH to bring knowledgeable, professional and high quality care to patients across the world.
