Summary

  • Dr. Eric Vasiliauskas, frequently referred to as “Dr. V”, is the director of the Cedars-Sinai Nutrition & Integrative IBD Multidisciplinary Subspecialty Program, the Associate Clinical Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Cedars-Sinai, a member of the F. Widjaja Foundation Inflammatory Bowel and Immunobiology Research Institute, & Professor of Medicine & Pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

    Dr. V is an internationally-recognized expert in both Adult & Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease who has long recognized the existence of subgroups within Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and how these important subtleties influence disease expression, disease course, responses to traditional medical and surgical interventions, as well as to dietary and other alternative approaches. He has thus been a longtime proponent of personalized medicine & individualized therapy in IBD.

    Dr. V has been described as “a diet-friendly doctor” and is a strong advocate of living a healthy lifestyle that incorporates routine exercise, relaxation & stress management techniques (mindfulness practices, meditation, biofeedback, yoga, etc), getting adequate sleep, & eating a balanced healthy diet. He recognizes the significant potential benefits of both traditional and nontraditional approaches to IBD care, while at the same time also acknowledging the shortcomings of each approach practiced in isolation. Throughout his career, Dr. Vasiliauskas has been open to incorporating a broad spectrum of nontraditional options to help patients fine-tune their health to wellness. He is a firm believer that a complementary or integrative approach to IBD management optimizes desired outcomes, well-being and quality of life.
