“With the right information and motivation, people can get to the root cause of their illnesses and cure themselves.”
Dr. Pierce is a board certified family medicine physician. He is passionate about using a whole food, plant-based diet and other lifestyle medicine modalities to help people get healthier, get off of medications, and live longer, fuller lives. His goal is to meet his patients where they are, and work with them at their pace to improve their health, one day at a time.
Since beginning his journey in plant-based medicine, he has been repeatedly amazed to learn how a very healthy diet and lifestyle habits can help prevent, treat, and even sometimes reverse illnesses such as overweight and obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and colitis, as well as depression, early dementia, and some cancers.
In addition to seeing patients with the above mentioned chronic conditions, he also has a special interest in using the power of lifestyle to help support a healthy pregnancy.
Dr. Pierce was born and raised in South Texas. He went to the University of Texas - Pan American for undergraduate studies and then Baylor College of Medicine for medical school. He learned how to be a family doctor through his training at the Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency in northern California, and later completed a fellowship in global health leadership at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital.
He has worked teaching residents and caring for patients in outpatient clinics, hospital wards, and emergency rooms in northern California, as well as working extensively around the globe, including El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, the Philippines, Lesotho, Malawi, South Sudan, and Kenya.
In addition to his work in lifestyle medicine, he continues to practice and teach high risk and surgical obstetrics, mentor outstanding family residents in global health, and to teach point-of-care ultrasound through the Global Ultrasound Institute.

@@CHEFAJ I'm in Riverside County, Menifee, California. I'm a Nurse Practitioner for Valley OBGYN Medical Group Inc. It's a private practice specializing in Women's Health. I'm currently studying for my ACLM board certification this November. I've learned so much watching your live streams, calorie density lectures and books. Thank you for all you do Chef AJ! 🥰

@@Nurse_LoLo_Plant_Life That's so fantastic that you're able to educate and encourage your patients regarding plant based nutrition♥️
What a kind and compassionate human being! I wish I could have had him for my doctor when I was having my children. I was an OB nurse for 33 years, and I would have loved to have worked with a doctor like him!
Thank you Chef AJ for all your efforts to bring this info to the world Every Single Day. And I love your top :-).

Thank you Chef AJ. This interview was really so informative, it's great
Really happy that I had this saved and watched it :) thank you very much, Dr Pierce was so lovely and wonderful :)
Very informative session.
I became vegetarian, then WFPB, for health reasons. But as I stopped thinking of cows, pigs, fish, chickens as a source of food, my relationship with them changed and my "vegan reason" evolved to ethical reasons in addition to health reasons.

Hi, just wanted to get back to anyone interested in thyroid disease and anemia. Yes, anemia is associated with both hyper and hypothyroid, through a variety of mechanisms, some autoimmune related and some not so well understood. For the audience member who asked the question, I would say continue working with your doc to make sure your hemoglobin levels stay stable, whether or not you get to the bottom of the actual cause. The second question I wanted to get more information on was regarding the question on vegan total parenteral nutrition (as occasionally used for women with severe hyperemesis gravidarum). This is basically a combination of amino acids, lipids, and dextrose. The lipids tend to be soy based, though some contain fish oil, and it looks like eggs are often an emulsifier for the lipids. I'm still not sure where the amino acids are sourced from, and I have this question out to a few pharmacists. Will add a comment when I find out. Personally, if I was sick enough that the only thing that could save my life was a short course of TPN, I'd use it even if it wasn't vegan, for the shortest reasonable course possible. But I understand that some strict vegans might not. Thanks for the interesting questions. Dr. Jeff P

Just heard back from a friendly pharmacist that the amino acids in TPN seem to be "crystalline amino acids" that are created in a lab via bacteria and fermentation, so not animal or plant, per se. So it appears that the typical road block for a fully vegan TPN formula would be the egg emulsifier for the lipid component.
Just what we needed: more woke political activism creeping into even our health and cooking sources.
