The Importance of Food in Medicine
My exposure to food is medicine really came during my childhood. Both my parents from India, Ayurvedic culture which is like this traditional practice of medicine that is quite embedded in conventional medicine within Indian practice. That was always sort of steeped in my upbringing. And what actually inspired me to go into medicine - it was my mum getting ill herself, reversing her in condition using food and lifestyle. I saw her overcome essentially anaphylactic allergy condition that was idiopathic. So she removed all the potential triggers. She started meditating and doing yoga and all the rest of it as well.
