Meet Your Physician
Medicine that treats the cause, not the number.
Dr. B is a board-certified physician licensed in 22+ states with more than two decades of clinical experience. She built Plant Powered MD after watching patients manage diabetes for years without ever being offered a path out of it.
Her approach is unhurried and deeply personal: whole-food nutrition, metabolic testing, medication de-prescribing when appropriate, and a plan built around your life — not a template.
"Type 2 diabetes is not a life sentence. For most people, it's a conversation about food that no one ever had with them."
Why Plant-Based?
Food is the only medicine your body asks for three times a day.
Fruits and vegetables lower insulin resistance, clear intramuscular fat, and calm the inflammation that keeps blood sugar high — often within weeks.

Questions
Before you book.
Is this covered by insurance?
The program is self-pay, which is what allows for unhurried, physician-level attention. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds.
Do I have to go fully vegan?
No. The protocol is whole-food and plant-predominant, built around foods you'll actually eat.
Can I keep my current doctor?
Yes — Dr. B works alongside your existing care team and shares your plan with them.
What if I'm on insulin?
Many patients are. Medication changes are made carefully by Dr. B with close monitoring.
How fast will I see results?
Most patients see meaningful blood sugar changes within the first few weeks.
Your last first step.
Thirty minutes with Dr. Richa. No pressure, just an honest look at whether reversal is possible for you.
