Episode 3 features Dr. Ed McDonald, a Gastroenterologist, Chef and Nutritionist practicing on the Southside of Chicago. I was fortunate to work with Dr. McDonald during residency and to still call him a friend and colleague. He tells his story about becoming a GI doctor and the many years of training that took him from the University of Michigan, to Northwestern, Rush University Medical Center, and finally to the University of Chicago.
Dr. McDonald is a Chicago native and he proudly serves his community, doing his part to impact healthcare disparities related to nutrition and colon cancer screening. We revisit an article Ed wrote shortly after the release of The Black Panther, entitled, “6 Reasons Why Colon Cancer Doesn’t Exist in Wakanda.” The article is posted on his blog: The Doc’s Kitchen, where he posts health and wellness information centered around nutrition and his culinary expertise.
In addition to his medical training, Dr. McDonald is a graduate of the prestigious Kendall College School of Culinary Arts. As a chef, he uses delicious recipes with health conscious ingredients to promote healthier lifestyles. He talks about his role on the hit Food Network Show, “The Sandwich King.” You don’t want to miss his stories from behind the scenes. We also talk about his wife, celebrity Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Dr. Wendy Goodall McDonald, aka Dr. EveryWoman!!
