Code Blue provides the prescription to do just that. Dr. Stancic’s triumphant story will inspire you, and reveal why medicine’s most powerful tool is almost never prescribed.
Code Blue follows a passionate physician, Dr. Saray Stancic, as she reflects upon her journey from a multiple sclerosis diagnosis to wellness through her own adoption of lifestyle medicine. Dr. Stancic introduces us to expert physicians and scientists who are paving the way to make meaningful and necessary change in our healthcare environment, and in turn, empowering audiences to stand up and reclaim control of their health.
