“When you exercise you actually boost glutathione levels and glutathione is the master antioxidant. It’s like a magnet that goes around and attaches to the toxins and brings them out of the body.” -Dr. Vivian Chen
Dr. Vivian Chen, MD is board-certified in the UK in both internal medicine and family practice with 15 years of clinical experience.
Dr. Chen’s holistic health journey began when her newborn daughter stopped feeding, had to be hospitalized and was subsequently misdiagnosed as having reflux. When reflux drugs failed she was misdiagnosed again with a behavioral disorder.
Dr. Chen discovered research linking her daughter’s symptoms to a cows milk protein allergy. Dr. Chen also discovered that the chronic fatigue, acne, and brain fog she had experienced for many years were caused by specific environmental toxins.
This changed the trajectory of her career as a physician and today she treats her patients with a holistic approach; helping them identify the root causes of their disease and heal with a plant-based diet, detoxification and healthy lifestyle strategies.
