Dr. Steven Lawenda is a board-certified Family Medicine physician at Kaiser Permanente in Antelope Valley, CA, who had an eye-opening experience in 2012, when he learned about plant-based nutrition. With this new knowledge, Dr. Lawenda transformed his own health, and subsequently his practice. Along with a nurse practitioner colleague, Dr. Lawenda co-created and led Lifestyle Medicine programs centered around plant-based nutrition that have helped transform the lives of patients, as well as the way in which health care is delivered at his medical center.

Dr. Lawenda has spoken on the benefits of plant-based diets at meetings and conferences within Kaiser Permanente, at local events in his community, and at health events across the country. In 2018, Dr. Lawenda co-authored a review of Lifestyle Medicine with several esteemed colleagues that was published in the Permanente Journal. For his work, Dr. Lawenda was honored as a two-time recipient of the Southern California Permanente Medical Group Everyday Hero award (2016, 2017), as well as the 2018 Kaiser Permanente Antelope Valley Physicians’ Exceptional Contribution Award.
