Welcome to Heart 2 Heart: Conversations to Heal a Broken Heart with Dr. Columbus Batiste. Dr. Columbus Batiste is a board-certified Interventional Cardiologist who has been an active lifestyle and whole food plant-based advocate for over a decade. His dedication to the science of lifestyle has led him to participate in multiple research studies and review articles which have confirmed the benefit of a plant-based diet. To bring the science to his patient’s bedside, Dr. Batiste crafted a unique program in which he gave bi-monthly lectures and a monthly cooking class entitled: CATH lab. The CATH lab is a procedural room where Interventional Cardiologists bring patients to provide treatment to open vessels and stop heart attacks while they are occurring. Dr. Batiste re-purposed the Cath lab name into Cooking Alternative To Health (CATH) a series of cooking classes, that provided attendees information on how to maintain flavor and combine foods to restore blood flow and alleviate symptoms with the power of nutrition. Dr. Batiste has additionally explored the science regarding the relationship between mental health and relationships in heart disease. Dr. Batiste anticipates the release of his first book entitled SELFISH A Cure For A Stressed and Broken Heart in 2024. In honor of Diabetes Awareness Month, this episode Dr Batiste reflects on his father’s life with diabetes, the cause of diabetes and the role of applying the principles of SELFISH in preventing and reversing Diabetes.

In college he was student athlete of the year at Stanford. Graduated 1st in medical school class. Dr. Rogers works as neuroradiologist, but also did fellowship imaging guided surgery (interventional radiology) at Harvard. He got fat in 30's and learned his way out. He was one of best medical students in USA in biochemistry and tries to understand pathophysiology. Has written a books about nutrition & study skills including "How to improve blood flow," "Hot topics in nutrition," "Straight A at Stanford & on to Harvard," "How to raise IQ, & become a genius." Stanford university student athlete of the year, 1985. University of Illinois medical school award for best male medical student in class; best student in pathology; highest board scores in class of 333 students; biochemistry score 780/800, possibly the highest in the USA (biochem is the most difficult subject in medical school). Biochem is “considered” to include nutrition. Residency at Northwestern with 99% board scores. Fellowship in interventional radiology (imaging guided surgery) at Harvard. Fellowship in neuroradiology at Rush. Author of multiple books about nutrition, reducing risk of disease, and study skills. Discovered almost all the major medical textbooks are 50-100 years out of date, and often, completely wrong. Secret desire #1 = to become a nutrition doctor, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. Secret desire #2 = to rewrite the major medical textbooks, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. The shocking truth is that most medical textbooks are essentially worthless, because they do no include nutrition, and most disease is caused by poor nutrition.

Dreena is also a certified fascia stretch instructor. Find more about her Fascia FLO classes at fasciflo.com and recipes at dreenaburton.com Over 25 years ago I changed my body with a plant-based diet. It was the single best decision I made for my health. And I felt great until my mid-40s - when nagging pains in my shoulders, neck, and SI joint just wouldn't go away. I was doing everything to mitigate the pain: creams, lotions, turmeric, turmeric supplements, inflammation supplements, chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and prolotherapy. Some things worked a little, some things well. But nothing kept the pain away. After prolotherapy I felt great - until the pain crept back a couple of weeks after treatment. Because I wasn't addressing the root cause of my pain and stiffness: unhealthy fascia Fascia is its own unique tissue, and requires its own unique movement! Choosing a plant-based diet was the first best thing I did for my health and wellness - and this is the second. At 53, my joints feel as free and loose as they did years ago, because I’ve changed my body once again – with Fascia FLO. Fascia is the only tissue in our body that connects all the other tissues and even permeates tissues. But when fascia isn’t healthy? It stifles all those other tissues – causing joint pain, stiffness, low energy, and other health disturbances. Fascia FLO is the unique movement you need to address your fascia, so it works for you once again (not against you). You too can feel loose in your joints and enjoy a flexible, youthful body. You deserve to feel good in your body, no matter your age. Pain does not have to be part of aging! Learn more at fasciaflo.com and the Chef AJ audience will receive a special discount if they join by November 30th: 50% off your first month - just $19 to try out fascia FLO for an entire month!
