I'm excited to sit down with Dr. Laura Buchanan. We talk about the healing story of her patients, information against the low-carb diet and much more. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.

Dr. Laura Buchanan is a board-certified family medicine physician with a passion for using lifestyle modification as the first-line standard of care wherever possible. She completed her family medicine residency at Wake Forest in 2022, and was a valedictorian of her class at the University of Florida College of Medicine. For her undergraduate education she received a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida, from which she graduated summa cum laude.

The mission that drives her is to help people age successfully. She has been passionate about fitness and health since she was a young child. That passion was initially derived from a love of sports but has since evolved and expanded to include a passion for healthy living generally, including the importance of nutrition, exercise, mental wellness, and an optimal use of the medical system. She sees her role as a doctor being two-fold: promoting prevention and practicing medicine.
