Chris Beat Cancer

Dr. Baxter Montgomery prescribes plants to reverse heart disease, obesity and diabetes


Dr. Baxter Montgomery is a Board-Certified Cardiologist with decades of experience in diet and lifestyle medicine. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in Cardiology at the University of Texas in Houston, and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

Dr. Montgomery founded The Montgomery Heart & Wellness Center in 1997 with the mission to reverse and prevent life-threatening illnesses. He combines his medical practice with food-driven lifestyle intervention and introduces patients to a plant-based diet to help reverse chronic conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes without medications or surgeries.

Dr. Montgomery is a courageous cardiologist helping patients reverse chronic diseases and recover their health with plant-based nutrition. In our interview we discuss the power of raw food and juice fasting, lowering cholesterol naturally, and he shares incredible stories of helping extremely ill patients recover with plant-based nutrition. I know you will enjoy this interview!
