VP#64: Vegan Psychiatrist Dr. Adam Woods on His Own Obesity Struggles, "Foodborne" Illnesses, & Hot-Button Topics like the Proper(?) Place for Psych Meds &"Dr." Joe Rogan

Funny how easy it is to forget that our minds are in our bodies! But not for vegan psychiatrist Dr. Adam Woods. Adam Woods, M.D., is a private practice "Family Psychiatrist" in the Iowa City area, meaning that he sees "all ages" and "all diagnoses." He holds a Bachelor's Degree from Drake University, a Master's Degree from Princeton University, and a medical degree from Duke University. He completed his Psychiatry Residency at the University of Iowa.   Dr. Woods began his plant-based journey in 2017 after a lifetime of struggling with his weight and watching his family suffer from lifestyle-related diseases. He strives to promote a healthy plant-based diet and lifestyle over medications whenever possible and engages in Evolutionary Psychology-based therapy as promulgated by his mentor and friend, Dr. Doug Lisle. Beyond medicine, Dr Woods has an academic passion for philosophy and ethics. He is currently taking classes with the hope of beginning a PhD program in the next few years.   If you're interested in connecting for a consultation or a friendly chat, Dr. Woods welcomes emails at [email protected].   Resources: Email Dr. Woods: [email protected] Adam Woods MD on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEUodNCa--0-8UGoStWeS4g Vegan psychologist Dr. Doug Lisle: https://esteemdynamics.com/ The China Study by T.
