Like many other Americans, Dr. Ed James has a family medical history of obesity and diseases, including heart attacks, hypertension and diabetes. However, these chronic diseases need not dictate the future of his family tree or that of anyone else. Through the power of a healthy lifestyle, genes are altered, so that many chronic diseases need not affect us or our future generations.
Several years ago, Dr. James struggled with obesity and prediabetes, and his LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) was elevated. Rather than immediately prescribing medication, his doctor fortunately suggested that he read “The China Study”- by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. He also read “The Spectrum” by Dean Ornish, MD. These books prompted him to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and to include exercise, as well as yoga/meditation in his daily routine. He was soon “cured”.
Dr. James drew inspiration from his personal experiences, and in 2011 founded Heal2BFree, LLC where he serves as President. Heal2BFree focuses on helping individuals and organizations, including churches, to develop and implement action plans for healthy lifestyles, and is committed to closing the health disparities gap.
Dr. Ed James is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and has a Certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from Cornell University. He is the Healthy Lifestyle Expert for BlackDoctor.Org. A professional speaker, Dr. James has given many presentations on this topic, including the 2011 National Medical Association Colloquium. He has hosted healthy lifestyle potluck dinners and regularly writes preventive health related articles. His Blog Talk Radio Show, Funerals and Fried Chicken™, provides practical information on making healthy lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse many chronic diseases.
He received his BS in Biology from Bucknell University and earned his MD and MBA from the University of Pennsylvania as a participant in the Penn Med Scholars combined degree program. Dr. James completed his Internship at the Medical Center of Delaware and his Diagnostic Radiology Residency at the Stanford University Medical Center, as well as a Fellowship in Diagnostic Neuroradiology at the New York University Medical Center.
He has been in private practice radiology since 1998 as a board certified general radiologist and neuroradiologist. Dr. James is the primary author and co-editor of Getting into Medical School – A Planning Guide for Minority Students, which was published by Williams and Wilkins, Inc. This book has been a principal resource for many premedical students over the years.
Dr. James currently lives in Virginia with his wife and family. He is a member of Alfred Street Baptist Church.
We will be speaking with Dr. James live tonight at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. EST.
