very special guest speaker

Christina Gelev MD

I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio. I attended Case Western Reserve University and Continued medical school there as well. I completed my residency training at University Hospital in Cleveland and worked there for one year on staff as hospitalist and attended on the medical wards supervising the internal medicine residents. I moved to Boston in 1990 and began working at the  Massachusetts General Hospital. I have been with the same practIce since coming to Boston though the name has changed through the years. Now we are MG West Medical Group. Around 2017, my husband Humberto exposed me to and I became interested in nutritional science. By using what I learned, I realized how simple it can be to prevent and even reverse chronic illness. It became very obvious to me that it is largely our lifestyle which promotes health or illness depending on the choices we make every day. I began to heavily incorporate in my daily practice patient education about how to use lifestyle as the first treatment option for prevention and treatment of chronic illnesses and I have never looked back. My patients and I have never been so healthy and happy.
