Meet Dr. DiGs

From caring for people in the ICU to a different way of thinking about health.

Hi, I’m Dr. DiGs.

I spent nearly a decade as an intensive care nurse in New York City before returning to school to earn my doctoral degree in nurse anesthesia. Today, I provide anesthesia care to some of the most medically ill patients in NYC.

But the experience that forever changed the way I thought about health came during COVID-19.

Inside NYC hospitals, I cared for critically ill patients on ventilators—many saying goodbye to loved ones through a screen, unable to touch them one last time.

I saw firsthand how underlying conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and pulmonary disease could make an already devastating illness even more difficult to survive.

This was unacceptable to me.

I couldn’t take it any longer. I began to realize that, as doctors and nurses, we spend so much of our training learning how to treat illness—but not nearly enough learning about nutrition and the everyday choices that may help support long-term health.

Patients look to medical professionals for health guidance, and I believed we should understand more.

It left me with a question I couldn’t ignore:

How do we take better care of our health while still eating the foods we enjoy on a DAILY BASIS?!

That question became the foundation of Dr. DiGs MindFULL Mug Cake.

I wanted to rethink the relationship between indulgence and nourishment and create everyday foods that taste amazing while serving a purpose—starting with a cake that takes it to the next level! It’s made with complete protein, nourishing whole-food ingredients, is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, has just 4 g of sugar, and even includes research-based functional nutrition! And tastes Delicious.

To me, as a provider, health isn’t simply about avoiding illness. It’s about preserving your health as you age into retirement.

It’s about having the energy to travel.
To move. To think clearly. To raise a family. To play with your children and grandchildren in the park.

Welcome to the Dr. DiGs FAM.

Food As Medicine.
Dessert with purpose.
Made for the life ahead.

Here’s to taking care of the body that carries you through this beautiful life.

With love & health,
Dr. DiGs ♡
