Peter's Welcome & Bio
I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign, studying Health Technology and Molecular and Cellular Biology. I am working to get my bachelor’s degree and pursue further education for a career in medicine. I want to learn more about integrative medicine and believe in a patient-centered approach when treating complex conditions such as diabetes and other metabolic disorders. I love dogs and cats and like spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy getting exercise in the form of weightlifting and long walks with my dog.
We love to ask all of our GLIMterns about their favorite fruit or vegetable!
I am a huge fan of carrots. I can eat carrots in whatever preparation they are made in, whether it's roasted, boiled or sauteed. Personally, I think sauteed carrots are the best preparation but I enjoy them in soups, salads, and even cakes! Another thing I love about carrots is they are rich in beta-carotene, which can be metabolized by the body into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for vision, skin health and immune function. Since it is a fat-soluble vitamin, it’s best taken in a meal with fat (olive oil, avocado, cheeses, etc.). There are plenty of reasons to enjoy additional carrots in your diet!
