With the internet providing access to so many health experts and talking heads, we often get asked ‘who can be trusted, to watch or follow online, even to enjoy?’ The answer is not always obvious, as those in the media spotlight have their own area of expertise, biases, even their own unique style of presentation.
Whether you are part of our Singapore or global community, in this series of posts we present some of the key online health leaders whose media channels we enjoy.
Meet Dr. Garth Davis: a leading surgeon debunking protein myths and championing plant-based diets for lasting health.
A small disclaimer, we do not necessarily endorse or agree everything that our featured personalities nor their guests might say, but we do enjoy the general direction that they take. Please talk to your doctor, or medical practitioner most familiar with your medical history, before implementing any changes in diet, exercise or lifestyle, especially if you are under treatment.
Your health starts with you! Prioritising your own self-care is the vital first step to improving your health and long-term wellbeing. Wherever you are in your journey to health, at The Whole Health Practice we work with you, to turn knowledge and intent into targeted and effective action.
Stay Healthy,
Alastair
Garth Davis MD
Dr. Garth Davis is a renowned bariatric surgeon and advocate for plant-based nutrition, best known for his groundbreaking book Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It.
As the medical director of the Davis Clinic for surgical and medical weight management at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center in Houston, Texas, Dr. Davis has spent years helping patients combat obesity and chronic health issues. His own health journey, from avowed meat eater to vegan triathlete, inspired him to delve into nutrition science and rethink common misconceptions about protein consumption.
In his book Proteinaholic, Dr. Davis challenges the widely accepted belief that high-protein diets, especially those rich in animal protein, are essential for health.
Certified by the American Board of Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Davis also works closely with patients to help them adopt healthier lifestyles. His approach blends evidence-based medicine with practical dietary strategies, promoting long-term health and well-being. Through his book, public speaking and clinical practice, Dr. Davis continues to be a leading voice in the movement toward more sustainable, health-conscious eating habits
