Scott Harrington, DO is a West Point grad who proudly served in the US Army as a Family Medicine Doctor, Flight Surgeon and Dive Medical Officer.

His journey to plant-based nutrition may sound familiar. As a practicing physician and US Army Family Medicine Doctor, Scott was doing what most doctors do - seeing as many patients as possible and writing plenty of prescriptions.

His own physical and mental health was in decline until he watched Forks Over Knives on an airplane at the recommendation of a military colleague. By the time the plane landed, he was a changed man. 

In 2020, he started his own telehealth practice, Vegan Primary Care, where he now works with patients to improve chronic illness and thrive on a whole foods, plant-based diet.

Today, he shares his personal and poignant journey to plant-based nutrition, his experience in the U.S. Army, and his insights on various health topics such as vitamin D, fiber intake, calcium, and the importance of building strong bones.

We salute you, Dr. Harrington, for your service to our country and the service of your patients.
