Her voice is greatly needed voice in the chronic illness community, which otherwise champions using animal-centric diets like paleo or AIP to treat autoimmune disease.

Dr. Kim A. Williams

The former president of the American College of Cardiology Dr. Kim A. Williams, says, “There are two kinds of cardiologists: vegans, and those who haven’t read the data.” Dr. Williams is passionate about system change and improving programs so the public can make better choices.
