Today, we get to discuss nutrition and its importance to health with Dr. Edwin McDonald, a gastroenterologist from the University of Chicago.
Here are the notes from today's show:
Intro: 00:00 Hey everyone and welcome to unconventional wellness radio, powerful and inspiring podcast Set to revolutionize and disrupt healthcare. It's time to put you in the driver's seat to be the force of change necessary for the lifestyle you've always wanted.
Frank: 00:19 Hey everyone. This is Frank from unconventional wellness radio and I have the special pleasure and privilege of being able to bring in my new friend Dr Edwin Mcdonald on the call today. Dr Edwin Mcdonald is a board certified gastroenterologist who teaches at the University of Chicago and he of course also sees patients there and he is also the associate director of human nutrition at the University of Chicago. And I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr Mcdonald a very recently, a matter of fact here in the Asheville area at the Healthy Eating in Conference Practice, uh, which was held by an organization called Asap, which is a great organization. It's a nonprofit trying to bring about awareness of sustainable agriculture. And they had this conference where they had folks who are just getting started with their medical careers. And then folks like Dr. Mcdonald has been practicing for a while, but they're doing very innovative and very cool things with the attrition and the bringing in all of these other aspects of wellness. And so Dr Mcdonald was a pleasure to have you on the call today.
Dr. McDonald: 01:26 Hey, what's up, frank? And I'm honored to be here. Really appreciate everything that she's doing. So, uh, thanks for having me on the show, man.
Frank: 01:33 Absolutely. So one of the things that captivated us was your story that you, you're just a natural storyteller and I really want to share you with everybody out there in the, uh, the unconventional wellness world about just how brilliant is the journey has been for you leading up to your eventual deciding to go to medical school, but you really have this really great history of culinary arts. If you don't mind, why don't you go ahead and just kind of tell us a bit of that story of how you got started with that.
