Dr. Stancic is a board-certified lifestyle medicine physician and the founder and owner of Stancic Health and Wellness, where she treats patients using lifestyle modification, including a plant-based diet.

As a third-year medical resident, Saray Stancic, MD, went from doctor to patient. After a brief nap during an overnight shift at the hospital, she woke up to find both her legs numb and heavy. An emergency MRI confirmed a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the nervous system that’s often considered incurable. But recent studies show that following a diet low in saturated fat may play a key role in managing the disease.

In this video from our 2019 Plant-Based Health and Wellness Summit, Dr. Stancic talks about her personal experience tackling MS with a plant-based diet.

Dr. Stancic produced the documentary film Code Blue: Redefining the Practice of Medicine, in which she highlights the practice of Lifestyle Medicine to prevent, treat, and manage chronic illnesses. Code Blue follows a passionate physician, Dr. Saray Stancic, as she reflects upon her journey from a multiple sclerosis diagnosis to wellness through her own adoption of lifestyle medicine. Dr. Stancic introduces us to expert physicians and scientists who are paving the way to make meaningful and necessary changes in our healthcare environment and, in turn, empowering audiences to stand up and reclaim control of their health.
