She practiced medicine at NY-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic, and now at the Venice Family Clinic. She lives in the Los Angeles area with her family and one challah-loving dog.   What you will hear in this episode: - How the act of making challah is completely transformative. It forces one to slow down, to be patient ( allowing the yeast  to rise) and to be present. It is also a beautiful time for reflection, prayer and connection. - We talk about how Dr. Beth's background in art taught her to see the larger picture in her patients and to see the stories that these women carried along with them.  - Dr. Beth is a big believer in the medicinal qualities of food.However, she maintains that the key to eating healthy is moderation, using good quality ingredients and enjoying the experiences that food can bring.
