Whole Person Healthcare: Healthcare Pioneers Launch WeHeal Platform and Wellness to Wonderful Book of Practical Advice to Transform Health
Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Matthew Lederman are the pioneering physicians from the groundbreaking film “Forks Over Knives” and are helping thousands find better health by nourishing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit
Orlando, Florida – (April 18, 2023): “There’s more to health than wellness,” say Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Matthew Lederman, the renowned physicians behind the Forks Over Knives documentary and co-founders of Whole Foods Market’s Medical and Wellness Centers. Drs. Pulde and Lederman assert that even the most integrated models of contemporary medicine ignore the measurable impact of a patient’s authentic connection with family, friends, colleagues, spirit, and the natural world.
“The conventional healthcare system is really focused on taking someone that’s hurting and getting them back to their baseline, even if that's mediocre. Our goal is to get you to ‘Life is Wonderful,’ says Matthew Lederman, MD, co-author of Wellness to Wonderful and co-founder of WeHeal, along with Dr. Alona Pulde. Pulde adds, ”WeHeal comes from our hearts but also from studying and implementing complementary practices that enhance the benefits of diet and lifestyle. And ultimately empowering our clients too to achieve optimal health while experiencing a state of ‘Life is Wonderful.’”
Pulde and Lederman’s book Wellness to Wonderful is down-to-earth with relatable guidance and practical advice for a healthy and vibrant life. Drs. Pulde and Lederman bring the book’s principles to life in WeHeal, a virtual healthcare model built on their book’s nine fundamental pillars of health: self, nutrition, activity, play, sleep, family & friends, work, spirituality, and the natural world. As evidence of the model’s efficacy, the Florida-based physicians point to results showing reversal of chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, weight loss, and increased overall well-being.
The WeHeal platform is staffed by physicians and educators trained in nutrition, compassionate communication, and a number of complementary modalities, including Western & Eastern Medicine, Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine, Mind-Body Medicine, Polyvagal Theory, Trauma-Informed Care, and Somatic Awareness & Pain Reprocessing. WeHeal offers virtual one-on-one physician consultations and health and wellness mentoring alongside cohort classes, sessions, and support groups.
With chapters dedicated to each of the model’s core pillars, Wellness To Wonderful aims to guide readers from the stress and chronic illnesses arising from living in survival mode to a dynamic, thriving, and optimized life that is truly Wonderful. The book is receiving huge accolades from the top wellness experts, including:
Dean Ornish, MD, President and Founder of The Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF
Neal D. Barnard, MD, FACC, Adjunct Professor of Medicine, George Washington University School of Medicine, President, Physicians Committee Washington, DC
T Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry, Cornell University, Co-Author, The China Study, Author, Whole, NY Times Best Seller
