For the first time publicly, the cause of death of renowned plant-based cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery is revealed.

In this powerful and respectful conversation, Jackie Williams shares that Dr. Montgomery battled two rare blood disorders: multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis.

What are these diseases? Could diet have caused them? Can lifestyle medicine reverse everything?

🧠 In this episode: • What multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis are • Who is most affected • Why his diet did not cause his illness • The limits — and power — of nutrition • The legacy he leaves behind

The discussion begins with Jackie who shares her personal journey from grief and declining health to vibrant whole-food, plant-based living.

After years helping build Montgomery Heart & Wellness and supporting thousands of patients, Jackie is now seeking her next opportunity within the plant-based and lifestyle medicine community. If you're looking for experience in patient support, community building, events, or plant-based education, she is open to continuing this work.
