Ep. 260: Beth Motley, MD - Make These 1% Changes to Create Long-Lasting Health

Beth Motley, MD grew up an athlete and always had an interest in nutrition. Once she went into medical school, however, she realized that good nutrition is about way more than just athletic performance. It’s about longevity, disease prevention, and disease reversal. It’s about human health. 

This inspired her to train under the greats like Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Ron Weiss, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn and pursue family and lifestyle medicine as a career. What a resume of training, right?

Today, Dr. Motley and Rip Esselstyn dive into the importance of meeting patients where they are in their journeys and focusing on small “atomic habits” to create lasting change.

They also chat about the perks of a plant-based diet for cancer prevention and managing diabetes with personalized approaches, emphasizing the power of patient education and understanding the science behind dietary choices to effectively reverse insulin resistance.

Finally, Dr. Motley shares how she navigates her hectic life with five children, four of whom are under the age of five!
