On episode seven of Power to the Patient, Dr. Lillie Rosenthal welcomes Evette Eweka, a recent college grad on a path to medical school. Born and raised in New York, Evette is the child of two Nigerian immigrants, both of whom had a large influence on her diet and perception of health. The majority of the food she grew up was plant-based, which came to define her vegan diet as she entered adulthood.
When she went to college, she learned about the science behind various diets, such as the Mediterranean diet, and how they can impact a person’s body. Taking this knowledge, Evette began crafting ways to overcome her struggles, reach better health and aim for more success. This past November, she created a creative vegan heath instagram page to inspire not only herself, but others to realize that vegan food didn’t have to be a struggle.
