About WIDLIMS - What I Didn't Learn in Medical School
In a nutshell, WIDLIMS is a platform for discussing topics crucial to health which are not taught, glossed over or approached from the wrong angles in medicine and public discourse. The host Linda's knowledge – as a final year medical student – combined with valuable input from guests provides you with accessible and most importantly empowering evidence-based information on topics within the field of lifestyle medicine.
In addition, you can expect in-depth mental health discussions, for example when considering body image & disordered eating in diet culture, as well as health inequalities due to variables such as race & gender which affect health behaviours and outcomes. We'll also discuss specific health conditions such as acne, anxiety and anorexia.

In this episode, podcast host and junior doctor Linda chats to Dr Yami Cazorla-Lancaster (she/her), a US board-certified paediatrician/pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician and health coach.
We discuss WHY plant-based diets are absolutely healthy for all stages of childhood and development, and the importance of fiber/fibre and antioxidants found in abundance in plant foods. Dr Yami also covers common concerns people might have, such as whether dairy is necessary for health, why we should not fear tofu, nutrients of concern on a vegan diet. What do you do if you've got a picky eater? What do you do if you're the only vegan in the family? How can we raise kids to become intuitive eaters? Is intuitive eating in childhood the same as for adults?
