Today we welcome Plant-Based Telehealth team member Dr. Elisabeth Fontaine to the show. Dr. Fontaine is a double board-certified in OB/GYN and Lifestyle Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
Before specializing in women’s health, in which she has an extensive background, she focused on obesity management and exercise physiology. And now, Dr. Fontaine finds herself seeing patients through Plant-based telehealth and coaching fellow physicians on lifestyle changes equating to increased well-being in their lives and professions.
