My son is 17 years old and has been vegan for the better part of a year. He recently has stepped up his physical activity (biking, karate). I'm concerned about his...

Brandon Frazier has a few books on vegan endurance athlete nutrition that I found immensely helpful when I was training hard.

Dr. Josie Znidarsic at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute in Lyndhurst is also amazing.

My son is almost 16 and an athlete. He has been largely vegan from birth. He is 6'2" now. I would suggest making sure he has a b12 supp and that he gets enough protein. Without the protein his muscles can weaken. You could even track his food for a week or two (like on myfitnesspal.com) and see if his macros look good.

Dr Martha Hackett and if the diet is your concern Anya Todd RD.
I need to go see a Primary Care Physician in Henderson. Does anyone here go to someone that they really like?

Mmmmm if you don't mind taking your shirt off for Dr Joe Johnson ( talk to me later about this... LOL) he's a good dr. Gets ya the drugs needed.
Sara R. replied:
Dr. Johnson or Dr. Shurtleff;-) I like Dr. Gabroy, too, but it's hard to get an appointment there;-)

I used to go to Dr. Brown (optimal health, I think). His office is off of eastern and horizon ridge. With my stomach disease, he was willing to look at all aspects of healing as opposed to just writing a prescription!
To all my Vegas friends! I'm in need of a primary care physician who is really good. Anyone have one they love?? I don't want to go to an urgent care facility. Thanks!
