This Is Why Your Body Isn’t Responding to Diets

If you’ve been eating “less” and doing “more” but still feel tired, stuck, or inflamed—your body might not be resisting.It might be missing what it truly nee...

Plant-based eating changed my life—and my career.

When I first gave it a try, I was just curious. I didn’t expect to feel so much better: more energy, fewer cravings, better recovery from workouts, and a clearer mind.

As a physician, I couldn’t ignore the evidence—or the impact I saw in myself and my patients.
That’s why I’m inviting you to try it with me.

This August, I’m hosting a 30-day plant-based experience.
Not a cleanse. Not a crash diet.
Just real food, real support, and small, sustainable shifts that help you feel more like yourself.

Whether you’re plant-curious or ready to reset, this is your sign.

We start soon—and I’d love for you to join me.

I have been reflecting on Childhood Obesity Week, and I have to admit
I’m deeply uncomfortable with the way we talk about children and health.

There’s so much focus on numbers—calories, macros, weight, even medications and surgery—as if the “problem” of health can be solved with better metrics.

But when we start with weight as the goal, the solutions become flat: restrict more, move more, track more.

What if we started somewhere else entirely?
What if the goal was a joyful, nourishing lifestyle that sets the foundation for lifelong health—not just for kids outside the norm, but for all kids?

I wrote more about this here, including what happened when I tried to walk to a local park —and couldn’t.

When Lifestyle Isn’t Livable

I’d love to hear what you think. What are your thoughts on how we support kids’ health without turning it into a lifelong struggle?

Childhood Obesity Week was a few weeks ago, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it.

There’s a reason I chose lifestyle medicine — and this week reminded me of it.

Being featured by the Plantrician Project this week was an honor — but more than anything, it was a reminder of why I do this work.

As a physician triple-boarded in pediatrics, critical care, and lifestyle medicine, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful evidence-based lifestyle interventions can be — not only in prevention, but in true disease reversal.

Lifestyle medicine is not “wellness.” It’s a recognized medical specialty.
And just like we refer patients to cardiology or endocrinology, we can refer to lifestyle medicine when addressing root-cause drivers of chronic disease.

My practice supports patients dealing with:
🌿 Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
🌿 Non-pharmacologic weight loss
🌿 Metabolic and gut dysfunction
🌿 Pediatric concerns like asthma, eczema, reflux, and constipation

I also offer a signature high-touch program — the Joyful Metabolic Reset — for patients seeking structured support in reversing diabetes and healing their metabolism with lifestyle-based care.

📍Virtual, consultative services for NY & VT residents
🩺 Open to direct patients and physician referrals
🤝 Designed to complement — not replace — primary or specialty care

✨ To celebrate the feature and make this approach more accessible, I’m offering 20% off all services through this week.

If you're a provider interested in collaborative care, or a patient ready to explore this path — I’d love to connect.

Because lifestyle isn’t “alternative.” It’s foundational. And it’s often the missing piece in long-term healing.

Lifestyle medicine isn’t the alternative—it’s the missing piece.
I help patients build the habits that lead to real transformation.

I’m Dr. Jennifer Davis—board-certified in Pediatrics, Critical Care, and Lifestyle Medicine, with additional training in plant-based nutrition and culinary coaching.

I help adults and families manage and often reverse chronic conditions like:
✔️ Type 2 diabetes
✔️ Insulin resistance
✔️ High blood pressure
✔️ Asthma
✔️ Pediatric nutrition concerns

This is evidence-based, collaborative care that builds on your existing treatment plan—not against it.

Whether you’re a patient looking for support, or a physician seeking a trusted referral partner—I’d love to connect.
