Thank you .edgieveggie for an amazing cooking class. Loved the theme of healthy Cookout Eats. You have inspired us to start making lentil bean burgers at home!

Have y’all heard of Plantiful Palates? 🤩🙌

Head chef and owner, David Alexander, and his sous-chef, Lesley, have a fantastic whole food, plant-based business near the Galleria. Their menu offers vegan options that are free of salt, oil, and sugar.

The photos do it no justice but the food is FANTASTIC! Colorful, full of flavor, and texture. Chef Alexander truly has a gift for creating vegan masterpieces!!

They offer meal plans and catering so reach out to them for all your food needs! They are also getting into farmers markets in the community and even working to get their sauces, dressings, and a couple of food items into retail stores.

If you’re near the Galleria and interested in trying their food, reach out to them directly for a delicious whole food, plant based SOS meal!! 🤤🙌

You can find them at plantifulpalateshtx on Instagram and plantifulpalates.com!

Happy Monday to you all!

Shout out to Just Falafel Vegan Cafe, a new vegan restaurant near the Galleria! This restaurant has been a couple of years in the making, but it was well worth the wait. They have a plethora of healthy choices ranging from build your own bowls to desserts. We highly recommend you all try them out!

Dr M’s presentation on behavior change using mindfulness and self-compassion was such an interesting topic. And the potluck food afterwards was simply amazing this time!

Did you know today is National Avocado Day? 🥳🥑

Today we celebrate the incredible, edible avocado!!

We love avocado for a number of reasons but here are a few more:

-They can help improve gut health due to their high amounts of fiber (14g per avocado!!!)
-They can help lower blood pressure due to high amounts of potassium and magnesium
-Such a versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes, from guacamole to desserts

We hope you eat an avocado today in honor of one of our favorite fruits!! 🥑🫶

On Jan 1, 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing enslaved people. However, the proclamation did not reach Texas until June 19, 1865, about 2.5 years later.

Today we celebrate Black lives— their resilience, strength, and most importantly, their much deserved freedom.

The fight against systemic racism still continues today, but today we celebrate and uplift our Black brothers and sisters.

Ever wonder what Lifestyle Medicine physicians give each other for anniversary gifts? This year it was a private Pilates class with . She is an amazing Pilates teacher and we can’t wait till she teaches at our clinic again. Last pic is from 26 years ago when we were just starting our careers in Radiology and Internal Medicine. Lifestyle Medicine did not exist yet. We had no idea we would get board certified by ACLM in 2018 and it would change our life. What a blessing it has been! And we are grateful to our patients and our community for allowing us to be a part of their healthy lifestyle journey ❤️
