The prevalence of chronic disease is a growing concern in the United States. Prevention is the most affordable and effective way to prevent and/or reduce risk of chronic disease. Natural whole food, plant-based diets have been used across the world to prevent and treat various diseases for thousands of years. There is evidence being presented on the benefits of eating a whole food, plant-based diet-based diet; however, there still remains a large gap between promoting this type of health and nutrition, and the medical community. This project examined experiences of physicians who implement a plant-based diet as a treatment modality, explored how they effectively changed eating habits in their chronic pain patient population, and examined the efficacy of this type of treatment. The research questions proposed in this project addressed challenges, barriers, and successes that a plant-based diet plays in chronic patients' treatment. A case study methodology with 1:1 interviews that focused on open-ended questions examined the experiences of physicians. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit seven whole food, plant-based physicians practicing integrative medicine in the United States. Seven themes emerged: nutrition education, discovery, severity of diagnosis, demographics and culture or patient, spousal resistance, prescribing diet, and solutions for the future. These themes provide a deeper insight to the experiences physicians have in both training in nutrition and implementing a whole food, plant-based diet as treatment modality. Results indicated that physicians believed discovery was the most important factor in counseling patients on lifestyle change. It was also reported that barriers (in particular the spouse/partner) were important in hindering behavior change. Significant relationships between the physician's health habits, perceived barriers, and practices were found. This study contributes to social change by serving as a guideline for the creation of effective strategies for physician practices when implementing whole food plant-based diets as treatment for chronic disease. Additionally, data from this study may be used to advocate changes in the education, training, and certification of medical students.
