Her award-winning debut book, Braided: A Journey of a Thousand Challahs, not only recounts this experience, but also the importance of lifestyle modification in disease management - for ourselves as health care providers, and for our patients. Dr. Ricanati is currently a part-time physician volunteer at the Venice Family Clinic in Los Angeles, the city's largest outpatient institution for the under-insured. She has practiced at the NY-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center’s Center for Women’s Health, the Cleveland Clinic’s Women’s Health Center and was the founding medical director of the Wellness Institute’s Lifestyle 180 program with Michael Roizen, MD.
