Plantiful Surgeon is a plant-forward food and education platform built on the belief that diet is the most modifiable risk factor for chronic disease.

​

I’m a trauma & acute care surgeon, Latina with Middle Eastern roots, long-time vegan, and devoted dog mom to my doodle rescue, Arlo.

​

As a surgeon, I see the downstream consequences of preventable disease every day. Over time, it became clear that food sits upstream of much of what brings people into the hospital. Research consistently shows that plant-forward, high-fiber dietary patterns are associated with better cardiometabolic health, longevity, and, in some cases, disease reversal.

Plantiful Surgeon exists to translate that science into food people actually want to eat. Here you’ll find culturally inspired plant-based recipes and practical frameworks designed to help you eat better, without tracking or striving for perfection.

For me personally, this way of eating also aligns with values around animal welfare and sustainability. You don’t need to share every motivation to benefit from the pattern. What matters most is consistency.

​

If you’re looking for a calmer, evidence-informed way to eat better, you’re in the right place.
