Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Dr.Stacy Mitchell Doyle (or "Dr. Stacy" as her patients call her) quickly realized her lifelong dream of playing for the Dallas Cowboys wasn't going to happen. So off to Howard University where she received a BS in microbiology and physics (magna cum laude), then UCLA Medical School where Dr. Stacy received her MD degree in 1997. She completed residency training in Internal Medicine, and after earning her Board Certification, she opened her own practice in Los Angeles. After 16 years in private practice, and a lot of soul searching, Dr. Stacy came to the painful realization that her patients were not getting any healthier. They were just on increasing amounts of pharmaceuticals, but the pattern of disability and death was not changed in any way. So then began the "Re-education of Dr. Stacy", which culminated in the creation of FoodTherapyMD, an online educational portal and consultation service designed to help people use whole food, plant-based nutrition in order to prevent and reverse disease and live their best life. She develops "Food Prescriptions" which are specifically crafted for an individual's health condition. Dr. Stacy is also partner and Chief Science Officer in Alive Foods (www.Alivefoods.ca) which makes plant-based, organic meal replacement formulas for those requiring tube feeding, and for those that need oral nutritional supplementation. Dr. Stacy believes that your food should be good for you, and good for the planet, and is a tireless champion for environmental causes and animal welfare. When not evangelizing about health, happiness, and plant-based nutrition, she is spending time with her husband and family, including her amazing rescue dog Princess Leah, or on the mat practicing her other passion: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
