Meet the beautiful and inspirational Dr. Saray Stancic. In 1995, as a third year medical resident, literally over night, Dr. Stancic was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This unforeseen health challenge changed the course of her life, both professionally and personally. Her world had been turned upside down, in less than 24 hours.
The years that followed this life-altering diagnosis were riddled with pain, suffering and plenty of fear. At her worst, she had grown dependent on a dozen drugs, a cane, and had developed an overwhelming, sinking sense of hopelessness.
In her own words, Dr. Stancic shares her "Aha" moment that altered the course of her life, brought her healing and the fortitude to create her own documentary called Code Blue. The documentary seeks to shed light on the regrettable, shameful and absurd fact that physicians are ill-prepared by their medical schools to understand the all important aspect of optimal nutrition and how this affects human health.
This conversation was such a joy and I could have spoken to Dr. Stancic for many more hours (well we did when we stopped recording :) ). Please support Code Blue and the amazing work of a phenomenal human being. Check it out here. https://drstancic.com Remember this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt which is a favorite of Dr. Stancic, "You must do the things you think you cannot do." Those are words we could all live by!
Dr. Stancic is a board certified physician and the founder of Stancic Health and Wellness, LLC in Ramsey, NJ, an innovative medical practice whose mission is to educate and empower patients to achieve optimal health via lifestyle modification. Her focus is shedding light on the building body of scientific evidence supporting the importance of optimal nutrition and lifestyle in disease prevention. The concept for this practice came in response to her experiences as a physician for over 20 years and as a patient with multiple sclerosis.
