335: Longevity and the Fasting Mimicking Diet with Dr. Valter Longo Oct 27, 2024

Can the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) be a sustainable lifestyle choice for promoting healthier habits, and what scientific evidence supports its regenerative effects on the body?

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I interview Dr. Valter Longo on his research in aging and longevity. He defines the longevity diet, why he recommends a low protein intake, and whether plant protein is as harmful as animal protein. He also describes the fasting-mimicking diet and its benefits.

Discover how a musician turned biochemist revolutionized the way we approach aging, introducing the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) as a groundbreaking strategy for enhancing lifespan and combating chronic diseases. This episode is a deep dive into the science behind this innovative diet, shedding light on its ability to reduce biological age, decrease systemic inflammation, and improve crucial health markers such as cholesterol and IGF-1. Dr. Longo challenges conventional notions of protein intake, especially from animal sources, and provides a comprehensive framework for healthy aging tailored to individual needs. Hear about the transformative potential of the FMD, with its regenerative effects and practical approach that makes it accessible to everyone, even those new to fasting.

Learn how FMD offers a safer, more sustainable alternative to traditional fasting, the challenges and triumphs of implementing FMD in clinical trials, and its role in disease prevention and management. With insights into Dr. Longo's personal dietary practices and his vision for the future of nutrition, this episode offers a wealth of information for anyone interested in enhancing their quality and length of life through informed dietary choices.

Dr. Valter Longo is a renowned expert in longevity and age-related diseases, recognized for his groundbreaking research on fasting and its effects on lifespan. His team notably extended the lifespan of a simple organism tenfold and identified key genetic mutations in humans linked to protection against cancer and cognitive decline. He developed the fasting-mimicking diet, leading to over 30 clinical trials demonstrating its potential in reducing biological age and aiding cancer patients. As a Professor at USC’s Longevity Institute, he authored the bestselling book "The Longevity Diet" and was named one of TIME magazine's 50 most influential people in healthcare in 2018. Additionally, he founded non-profit organizations aimed at promoting healthy longevity.

328: Becoming an Impactful Vegan with Robert Cheeke Sep 08, 2024

In this episode of I AM HUMAN we learn from Robert Cheeke about effective altruism, how our personal biases can get in the way of doing the most good, how we can best determine what organizations to allocate resources to and how we can lead by example. This is a very powerful and important episode especially if you want to learn how to decrease the suffering of animals in the most effective way.

Robert's journey is not just about personal transformation but also about the broader impact we can have by making mindful, strategic choices. He shares how his upbringing among animals ignited his commitment to stand against animal suffering and how even small compromises can make veganism more accessible and effective. By sharing his experiences, Robert explains that leading by example can inspire others to make compassionate choices, even if those choices aren't perfect. We take a closer look at the stark contrasts in global resource distribution and the importance of effective giving. We discuss organizations like The Humane League, Dharma Voices for Animals, and the Good Food Institute, showcasing their influential work in reducing animal suffering. By reflecting on these insights, we recognize the potential for significant positive change through conscious consumption and supporting high-impact charities. Tune in to discover how authenticity, optimism, and gratitude can help foster a more compassionate world.

Robert Cheeke grew up on a farm in Corvallis, Oregon, and embraced a vegan lifestyle at age 15 in 1995. Today, he is a prominent figure in the fitness world, authoring influential books such as *The Plant-Based Athlete* and *The Impactful Vegan*, released last month. e 25, 2024. Dubbed the "Godfather of Vegan Bodybuilding," Robert has played a pivotal role in the industry since 2002.

327: Making Space for Brain Health with Dr. Ellie MacGregor Sep 01, 2024

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I interview Dr. Ellie MacGregor - an Integrative and Functional medicine pediatrician - who specializes in brain health, about her journey to holistic medicine.

We explore the profound connection between brain and body health, particularly through the lens of complex conditions like celiac disease and ADHD. Dr. McGregor shares eye-opening case studies, such as that of a college student misdiagnosed with ADHD, whose focus issues were actually due to nutritional deficiencies from undiagnosed celiac disease. We discuss how holistic approaches that consider gut health, nutrition, and overall bodily function can lead to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments, moving beyond simple mental health labels.

Lastly, we dive into the lifestyle factors affecting pediatric health, from dietary habits to sleep routines and the impact of community environments. Dr. McGregor emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy in medical practice, offering practical strategies for families to improve health habits in sustainable ways. We also touch on the pitfalls of over-reliance on supplements and the critical role of conventional medicine during acute crises.

Discussion points:

(00:00) Guest intro, background, path to pediatrics and integrative medicine, addressing mental health in children and combining art and science in her practice.
(10:38) What is NOT taught in medical school, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, and interconnectedness of brain and body.
(19:53) Brain health, lifestyle changes for patients include building trust, diagnostic testing, prioritizing sleep, and balancing downtime.
(27:14) Teenagers, fatigue, the multifactorial nature of ADHD, including genetics, environment, and shifting perceptions of diagnoses.
(38:36) Compassion and empathy are important for children's health, including sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Multi-pronged solutions are needed for families.
(49:09) If you had a magic wand….our schedules would allow for healthy eating, rest, meditation, and overall health
(52:38) Supplements alone are not enough for mental health; third-party testing is important; conventional medicine is necessary; balance and health are key; personal story of celiac disease and food allergies.

322: Embracing Imperfection in Your Plant-Based Journey with Laura Driggers Jul 28, 2024

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I chat with Physician Assistant Laura Driggers about her unique plant-based journey which was inspired by one of her children. We also talk about embracing imperfection in a plant-based diet. She discusses her work as a PA and how she integrates lifestyle medicine into an underserved population. This is a great episode for other healthcare providers curious about how to apply lifestyle medicine to their practices.

Our conversation explores the practical challenges and victories of raising plant-based children, navigating family and social reactions, and witnessing remarkable patient health transformations. We discuss Laura's personal and professional experiences, shedding light on the unique obstacles faced by predominantly Spanish-speaking populations and the ways cultural heritage can both challenge and support a plant-based lifestyle. With a compassionate and humble approach, Laura exemplifies the incredible potential of lifestyle medicine to transform lives.

Laura Driggers, a 2011 NHSC scholar, chose rural NC for her career post-graduation, working at a Federally Qualified Health Center and local health department. She provides comprehensive care for all kinds of patients - from newborns to complex cases. A mother of three, ages 11, 9, and 6, her children inspired her interest in lifestyle medicine. Wrestling with a "picky eater" led her to adopt a plant-based diet after extensive research and certifications in lifestyle medicine, including Type 2 Diabetes Remission and Plant-based Nutrition from ACLM and eCornell, respectively, solidifying her belief in the health benefits of plant-based eating.

Discussion points:

(00:00) Laura Driggers intro and background
(05:35) Laura’s experience with her son’s diet - a “picky eater” who instinctively avoided meat
(15:30) Career path to becoming a PA

319: Heart Disease Prevention with Dr. Andrew Freeman Jul 07, 2024

Join my enlightening conversation with Dr. Andrew Freeman, a leading cardiologist and staunch advocate for plant-based nutrition, as he reveals the critical factors behind heart disease and unravels the myths surrounding diet and health. Dr. Freeman shares his personal transformation from unhealthy eating to becoming a plant-based champion, shedding light on the misinformation spread by the food industry and how to cut through the noise for a healthier lifestyle. Learn about the key health statistics you must know to evaluate your cardiovascular risk and the potential impact of endurance activities on heart health.

We also tackle the underutilization of plant-based methods in cardiology, despite robust professional guidelines supporting these approaches. Dr. Freeman and I discuss the cognitive dissonance many face when it comes to diet and health, particularly in a society bombarded with processed foods. From hypertension to rare cardiovascular conditions, we emphasize the power of lifestyle medicine and share practical strategies for communicating these life-changing approaches to patients. Finally, we delve into essential health metrics for adults to monitor, and tips for extreme athletes to safeguard their heart health while engaging in endurance activities.

Dr. Freeman is a distinguished cardiologist and educator with a rich background in medicine and academia. He completed his internal medicine training at Brown University and earned his medical degree with research honors from SUNY Buffalo, following a summa cum laude graduation from Cornell University. Currently based at National Jewish Health, he serves as Director of Clinical Cardiology and Director of Cardiovascular Prevention and Wellness, alongside his role as Associate Professor of Medicine. Dr. Freeman is renowned for his advocacy of lifestyle medicine, notably through initiatives like the Walk with a Doc program in Denver, emphasizing exercise as medicine.

Can knee pain be effectively managed without resorting to surgery?

Dr. Jonathan Su, a distinguished physical therapist and former US Army officer, shares his compelling journey from a devastating football injury to becoming a leading voice in natural knee pain relief.

Our conversation is not just about food; it's about rewriting the script of patient care. We unwrap the stories of plant-based athletes defying expectations and the community-centric model that elevates the role of diet and exercise in managing health.

As a registered dietitian and bilingual health educator, she honed her skills at Kaiser Permanente in Riverside, CA, where she led plant-based cooking classes and developed a ‘culinary curriculum.’ Her commitment led her to New York, where she studied health-supportive culinary arts at the Natural Gourmet Institute and contributed to launching the Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine Program at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. In 2022, she became the Director of Education and Training for the Office of Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals Central Office, aiming to expand the Bellevue model citywide. Lily's expertise extends to presenting at academic conferences and community organizations, reflecting her dedication to advancing nutrition and lifestyle medicine, recognized by her Diplomate status from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

300: How to Live a JoyFULL life with Radhi Devlukia Feb 24, 2024

When Radhi Devlukia agreed to sit down with me, I knew we were in for an illuminating conversation about the intersection of veganism, Ayurveda, and holistic health. As an Ayervedic Health Counselor, Radhi brings a wealth of knowledge that inspires us to examine our relationship with food, and how it extends far beyond mere sustenance. Our exchange, peppered with personal anecdotes and transformative insights, offers a refreshing perspective on how dietary choices can resonate with our highest values and contribute to a more compassionate world.

Radhi Devlukia earned her Ayurvedic Health Counsellor 1 Degree at the California College of Ayurveda. A clinical dietician, nutritionist, and always-learning cook, she brings a modern approach to the ancient principles of holistic wellbeing. Radhi grew up in the UK and lives in Los Angeles with her husband Jay.

Listen in as we celebrate the resilience, creativity, and empathy that define our species. I challenge you to consider how we might tip the scales towards optimizing our potential, encouraging a delicate dance between the comforts of the known and the exhilarating unknown of our full capabilities. Reflecting on my own experiences and those shared by adventurers and professionals alike, we discuss the unique ways individuals assess risk and pursue their life's calling, urging you to ponder your own definitions and the trajectory you wish to carve out for yourself.

Discussion points:

● Radhi Devlukia's vegan journey and Ayurvedic insights

● High and low vibrational foods

● Satvik and kitchari

● Importance of spices and herbs in diets

Imagine the breadth of wisdom we could accumulate and the societal enrichment that might be possible if our lifespans were dramatically extended.

It's not just about scientific breakthroughs; we also took a soulful turn, contemplating my own transition from skeptic to open-minded explorer, delving into concepts like energy and reincarnation.

293: Goodbye Veggie Doctor Radio Jan 07, 2024

In this final episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I reflect on the changes and challenges I faced in 2023, including moving to a new office space and opening a multi-purpose teaching area. I share my experience of slipping into depression and making difficult decisions about my podcast. Despite feeling deflated, I surrendered to the universe and started believing in myself. Speaking at a conference reinvigorated me, and I decided to rebrand my podcast to explore deeper topics and promote well-being and joy. I introduce my new podcast, I AM HUMAN, and express gratitude to my listeners.

Thank you for listening! A lot more episodes are coming in 2024!

234: PLANTSTRONG – Dr. Yami: How to Love Your Body and Plantstrong Food at Any Age (Veggie Doctor Radio) Nov 20, 2022

My interview from the PLANTSTRONG podcast

Ad-free episode: https://plantscription.substack.com/subscribe

As busy families, it’s easy to catch yourself coming and going, shoveling back quick meals without even thinking, and prioritizing convenience over health, especially when you’re constantly pressed for time.

You know you’re supposed to incorporate healthier eating habits for your whole family, but HOW?

Enter board-certified pediatrician, certified lifestyle medicine physician, health coach, and mother of two, Dr. Yami!

Dr. Yami’s work and her private practice focus on how families can start to integrate more whole plant-based foods into their diets and adopt other healthy lifestyle habits even when moving a million miles a minute.

Easier said than done, right?

Well, Dr. Yami literally wrote the book to help families in this transition. A Parent’s Guide to Intuitive Eating: How to Raise Kids Who Love to Eat Healthy, is packed with research and support to help parents and families work together on creating a healthier lifestyle.

We talk all about body shaming and how to get your kids to eat whole-food plant-based without forcing it down their throats and allowing them to follow their kind of intuitive eating clues.

Even if you’re not a parent, you’ll love the advice of Dr. Yami, especially if you consider yourself to be a picky eater (spoiler alert: most of us are).

As Dr. Yami says, we can’t necessarily control what our bodies look like, but we can control how we view them, and her work is all about starting an ongoing conversation with your family about getting healthier TOGETHER.

And that’s what it’s all about!

Today on the show we have the legendary athlete, podcast host, author, and all-around wonderful human being, Rich Roll. Rich is a father and husband, but most of you will recognize his grounding voice from his weekly masterclass in personal and professional development—the Rich Roll Podcast. From a promising Stanford swimmer to a desperate entertainment lawyer caught in the vicious cycle of alcohol abuse, Rich hit rock bottom and used the power of plants and endurance to catapult his life into one of abundance. Between completing the EPIC5 Challenge to writing his best-selling memoir, Finding Ultra, Rich has amassed a life of experiences far beyond the average lifetime. He now dedicates himself to being a facilitator of growth and wellness through the Rich Roll Podcast, which he launched in 2012. Rich is a true original, a multifaceted individual with a bounty to share, and we cover a mountain of topics relating to personal development, relationships, addiction, and behavior. This episode is a philosophical gem.

What we discuss in this episode:

Suffering as a teacher / the dividing line between good suffering and bad suffering
The double-edged sword of the pursuit of “more”
Alcohol recovery as a process
Understanding the emotions behind destructive behaviors
How to make amends and become better
Relationships/divine love versus transactional love
Setting healthy boundaries and habits to do what you actually want to do

About featured guest:

Dr. David Sabgir is a full-time cardiologist in Columbus, OH and the Founding CEO of Walk with a Doc, an international nonprofit with a mission to inspire communities through movement and conversation.

While the program has now spread to over 550 communities in 37 countries, Dr. Sabgir continues to personally invite his patients to walk alongside him as a local Walk with a Doc leader. David has been honored to be a CNN Hero and to see Walk with a Doc featured in print and broadcast media all over the world. The program has evolved to focus on not only physical activity but also education, nature, and social connectedness. He absolutely loves Walk with a Doc and sees it as a critical next step in the care of our communities. He is married to Kristin with 2 children and 2 poodles.

150: Exploring Food Addiction, Shame and Transformation with Chuck Carroll (Veggie Doctor Radio) Apr 04, 2021

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have a honest conversation with Chuck Carroll about his experience with food addiction and personal transformation.

About featured guest:

At just 5'6" Chuck Carroll weighed a staggering 420 pounds. His 66-inch waist was expanding rapidly courtesy of a 10,000 calorie daily diet and out of control food addiction. At one point he did not think he was going to live to see 30 years old. But Chuck was able to lose an incredible 280 pounds and has kept the weight off for more than 10 years. Today he weighs 140 pounds and proudly wears pants with a 32-inch waist. An NFL player even nicknamed him "The Weight Loss Champion!"

He is host of the popular The Exam Room podcast for PCRM and is sharing his story in hopes of inspiring others who feel they are destined to remain trapped in an unhealthy body. If he has learned anything it is that change is possible! Everyone can have the brighter and healthier future they've always wanted!

147B: Feeding Your Resilient Brain with Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai (Veggie Doctor Radio) Mar 17, 2021

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have lively conversation with Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai about their newest book, The 30-Day Alzheimer’s Solution and what they want us to know about the brain right now.

About featured guest:

A unique husband and wife team on the cutting edge of brain science, Dr. Dean and Dr. Ayesha Sherzai are dedicated to educating people on the simple steps to long-term health and wellness through their work as Directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Health, with patients, as well as through online writing, videos, and books.

There is a tsunami of diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease permeating our culture. In our own communities and families, we all have known at least one person suffering from these illnesses and in many cases seen the fallout first-hand. There is no treatment for these diseases, and the emotional, financial and social burden is immense. These diseases are thieves, stealing time, money and ravaging the minds of our loved ones. The Sherzais see scientists and physicians working furiously to find a cure for these diseases, and in this frantic race against time somehow, the big picture is usually lost among the molecules and chemicals related to the diseases.

As Co-Directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, the Sherzais, through research and their extensive collective medical backgrounds, work to demystify the steps to achieving long-term brain health and the prevention of devastating diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. On March 23rd, 2020, the Sherzais are launching their newest book, The 30-Day Alzheimer’s Solution, a brain-health conscious cookbook and lifestyle program grounded in rigorous science and explained simply with anecdotes, recipes, and actionable steps.

147: How this Plant-Based Doctor is Using Technology to Help You Achieve Health (Veggie Doctor Radio) Mar 14, 2021

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I check in with Dr. Laurie Marbas and we talk about her amazing service, Plant-Based Telehealth and her dreams for the future.

About featured guest:

Laurie Marbas, MD, MBA is a double board certified family medicine and lifestyle medicine physician, who has been utilizing food as medicine since 2012. Previously, she created a new medical model combining the power of nutrient-dense foods and intensive clinical psychological therapy to treat not only food addiction but also chronic disease. She was the first Managing Editor for the Plantrician Project’s International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. The journal is focused on bringing plant-based research to the forefront of modern medicine and to the general public. She is also co-founder of Healthy Human Revolution, whose mission is to provide resources that will empower individuals with the knowledge, tools, and mindset to successfully adopt and sustain a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet. She is also the co-founder of Plant Based TeleHealth focused on the prevention and reversal of chronic disease utilizing lifestyle medicine. This new service provides access to plant-based lifestyle medicine across the United States. She is currently holds 48 state medical licenses (plus DC) across the United States with the last few pending.

In Colorado, Laurie persuaded a large hospital to create a lifestyle medicine program centered around a WFPB diet, the program showed resounding success. At another hospital, she conducted a one-month study of 26 employees on a WFPB diet. All employees were fed from the hospital’s kitchen, and each individual experienced improved health. She has spoken at the Golden VegFest in Colorado, the International Plant-based Nutrition Healthcare Conference, and other venues teaching about the value of the WFPB diet.

Laurie received her dual degrees (MD and MBA) from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine and TTU School of Business. She was awarded the Texas Tech University School of Medicine Gold Headed Cane Award, a symbol for excellence in the art of medicine and the care of patients. She wrote seven books while in medical school, six of which were in a series called “Visual Mnemonics.” These books used cartoons to help people memorize vast amounts of information—a system that helped her personally when she was a mom attending medical school. As a United States Air Force veteran, she served in the Middle East and South America. She is also a wife, mom of three grown children, host of the Healthy Human Revolution podcast, author, speaker, and avid runner.

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I chat with Kari Knight, DCNP about vegan skin care and cosmetics.

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I interview Dr. Monica Aggarwal about her book, Body on Fire: How Inflammation Triggers Chronic Illness and the Tools We Have to Fight It, her personal journey and how we can be empowered to make changes in our lives.

134: How This Working Mom is Raising 3 Plant-Based Children and Helping Busy Professionals (Veggie Doctor Radio) Dec 13, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I interview Sarah Tugender and we talk all about her journey and how she approaches her work, her family and “doing it all”.

About featured guest:

Sarah grew up around hospital and healthcare practices, born when her dad was a first-year medical student at Tufts Medical School. She remembers bringing her dolls to the break room at Sinai hospital, where her dad was a resident, to get stitched up with real stitches. She sipped apple juice and nibbled on saltine crackers in the call room at the hospital where her dad worked.

After graduating college from Boston University with a Marketing and Advertising degree, it was a natural partnership for Sarah to help her dad with those services in his practice. Facebook was born during Sarah's first year of college. She has been immersed in the evolution of social media and the revolution of communication within the business world.

For fifteen years, Sarah has used her passion for health with her drive to free up space in practitioners' schedules to create processes and systems for healthcare practices. This frees up space in their schedule so they don't have to burn the candle at both ends and can avoid the burnout that is prevalent in the industry. She travels up to a dozen times a year to speak on stages across the country. Sarah’s messages include living according to your priorities, incorporating business strategies that work for your network and leveraging the power of social media.

Sarah has personally built two online communities to more than 15,000 people. This has been leverage she's used to spend time with her husband, Dan, and three children, Ella, Brody and Duke. Sarah and her family live on Boston's North Shore where they live a plant-based lifestyle and take advantage of all New England has to offer.

125: Calcium and Bone Health with Dr. Rajiv Bajekal; Nutrients of Concern Series (Veggie Doctor Radio) Oct 11, 2020

Dr. Bajekal is also an orthopedic surgeon and he knows about bones. In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, we discuss calcium and bone health as well as other lifestyle habits and behaviors that are important for developing strong bones.

About featured guest:

Dr. Rajiv Bajekal is a Consultant Spinal Surgeon with a practice on the National Health Service and Privately in London.

He was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in 1998 and has been working in London at the Royal Free London NHS foundation Trust since 2002 as a Spinal Surgeon. He has published widely and lectures Nationally and Internationally besides being a Senior examiner for the FRCS Orthopaedics. He is an active member of the Plant Based Health Professionals, UK.

In 2016 he had some personal health problems and had put on a lot of weight during his time in the UK. He and his wife researched diet and nutrition and he embarked on a way of living a healthier life with compassion and care for the environment. In the process, he lost 25 kg of weight, reversed his diabetes and found a new zest for helping patients live a healthier life.

He decided to study lifestyle medicine as a lot of the disorders affecting people nowadays are lifestyle related and he and his wife (Consultant Gynaecologist) both studied and passed the Diploma examination in Lifestyle Medicine conducted by the American board of lifestyle medicine, He and his wife Nitu are now certified lifestyle medicine practitioners with a Diploma from the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine- by far his proudest achievement.

Lifestyle medicine is a relatively new approach to the management of chronic diseases as a result of widespread recognition that conditions such as Coronary Heart Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes, Osteoporosis etc. are totally preventable and can be reversed or ‘cured’ by changes in lifestyle, because they are in fact caused largely by lifestyle, especially dietary excesses.

There is little doubt that conditions such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiac problems, Eczema, Asthma, Alzheimer’s disease and indeed even a lot of Cancers are related to lifestyle of the patient. Until now, these were often blamed on ‘bad genes’ or unavoidable.

While the ill effects of smoking, overuse of alcohol, stress and lack of sleep are more clearly accepted by patients, they are often sensitive about their diet and most believe they have a ‘healthy diet’, based on what they have read.

Chronic health conditions cannot be managed purely by medication. That is a very naïve way of looking at it. Real change though must come from the patient. A lifestyle medicine practitioner is trained to give guidance, motivate, monitor change and assist the patient in a quest for better health. He and his wife now practice medicine hoslistically- looking at the causes and prevention of chronic illness while at the same time treating problems. They also lecture on lifestyle medicine and prevention of long term ill health. Mr Bajekal has also written the module on Bone Health for the first UK plant based on line nutrition course conducted by the University of Winchester.

122: How Mindfulness is Essential for Every Parent with Dr. Seema Desai (Veggie Doctor Radio) Sep 20, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an enlightening and very authentic conversation with Dr. Desai about parenting, mindfulness and seeing things in a different light.

About featured guest:

Namaste from Austin, Texas! I’m Seema. I wear a lot of hats—wife, mom, dentist, and yoga teacher-in-training, to name a few. I have a really wide range of interests, but the closest to my heart are yoga, mindfulness towards ourselves, each other, and the planet. I love being a mom, but my journey as a mother did not start as I expected. I found yoga as relief from postpartum depression, and as time went on and my yoga practice deepened, the mindfulness began to follow and blossom. I came to the realization that I find dentistry fulfilling because I get to help people in physical pain, but that through yoga, I could help people not only in physical pain, but emotional pain as well. This epiphany served almost like a seed in my mind. My Instagram and this blog are the fruits of this epiphany. I hope my posts offer you inspiration to live a more mindful lifestyle, and help you find more peace and joy. I always love hearing from my readers, so feel free to connect with me here, via e-mail, or on Instagram

115: Environmental Exposures and Your Child's Health with James and Dahlia Marin; Pediatric Series (Veggie Doctor Radio) Aug 16, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an eye-opening and upbeat discussion with James and Dahlia Marin, plant-based registered dietitians and power couple. We talk about very interesting topics and how we can apply this knowledge to raising healthy children.

About featured guest:

Dahlia went to see the doctor at the young age of 17 because she wasnâ€™t feeling well. She left the visit with not just one but a handful of serious diagnoses and several prescriptions. Like a good patient, she started taking the medications, but to her surprise she felt worse rather than better. James grew up using food to cope with his emotions and became known for his large size. They met in college and after reading The China Study they transitioned to a plant-based diet and the rest is history.

James also became interested in environmental nutrition and combined with his insatiable appetite for knowledge has become an expert in how exposures from our environment can affect health.

113: Raising Plant-Based Kids with Flexibility and Love with Dr. Laura Pridemore; Pediatric Series (Veggie Doctor Radio) Aug 09, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an engaging conversation with Dr. Laura about raising plant-based kids and the wisdom she has gained over the years.

About featured guest:

Dr. Laura Taylor Pridemore is a board certified pediatrician of over 18 years. Even in medical school, she had an interest in nutrition as a result of her family’s history of type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart attacks and strokes. After hearing a local lecture on The China Study, Dr. Pridemore became inspired to learn more about whole foods plant-based nutrition. She received a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University and has attended all 7 of the International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conferences. In 2016, she gave the first pediatric presentation at the International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare conference in Anaheim, CA, and in 2017 shared the presentation with the local Charlotte Pediatric Society. She has voraciously collected and read as many books on this subject of whole food plant-based nutrition as possible. Recently, Dr. Pridemore’s passion has expanded to lifestyle medicine which incorporates not only a mostly whole foods plant-based way of eating, but also regular physical movement, stress management, quality sleep and supportive relationships. Her lifestyle motto for her patients is “Eat, Move, Rest, Connect” and her nutrition motto is “Eat from the garden, Drink from the well.” Dr Pridemore recommends lifestyle medicine with her pediatric patients and families for both well visits and sick visits. Establishing healthy eating and sleep habits early are key for a lifetime of health.

A Georgia native, Dr. Pridemore first received her law degree from the Walter F. George School of Law in 1990 where she was the Editor in Chief of the Mercer Law Review. After practicing law for several years, she changed career paths to follow in her father’s footsteps. She graduated from Mercer University School of Medicine in 1998 where she was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha national honor society. She completed her pediatric residency training from Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC where she served as Chief Resident her last year. She has obtained Health Coach certification through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She is currently enrolled in the meditation certification through the Chopra Center. She is married to Scott and has two daughters, Sarah (16) and Katie (12).

Dr. Sarah Mitchell is a chiropractor by training but found her true calling as a sleep consultant when her first child just.would.not.sleep. Since 2013 she's empowered thousands of parents to teach their little ones to sleep and enjoy their parenting journey to the fullest.

She's the owner of Helping Babies Sleep where she offers high touch 1:1 sleep coaching consultations. She also runs Helping Babies Sleep School online, a monthly membership subscription for tired parents including classes on Newborns, Babies, Toddlers and.. Helping Moms Sleep. She’s also on a mission to change the dialogue away from “sleep training” to “sleep teaching” to be more reflective of what’s happening when shaping behavior.

Dr. Sarah is a proud member of the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. She is currently contributing to research at San Jose State University on the efficacy of her sleep teaching coaching and the effect of sleep teaching on maternal anxiety. Originally from Ottawa, Ontario Canada, Sarah resides in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, son and daughter. She wants you to know you can be loving, attached and well-rested.

109: Why We Need More Empathy in Our World with Dr. Aysha Akhtar (Veggie Doctor Radio) Jul 26, 2020

Dr. Akhtar is gentle, compassionate, and passionate. In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I interview Dr. Akhtar about empathy and what she learned when writing her book.

101: Think Upstream with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams (Veggie Doctor Radio) May 31, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Eric Adams about his own journey and why he does the work that he does.

About featured guest:

For the past three decades, Eric L. Adams has served the residents of Brooklyn as borough president, state senator, police officer, and coalition builder. In November of 2017, he was reelected for a second term to represent all of Brooklyn as borough president. Born in Brownsville and educated in the City’s public school system, Eric is committed to ensuring Brooklyn’s bright future by helping each and every Brooklynite reach his or her full potential. Eric has worked to make the popularity of Brooklyn’s brand translate into prosperity for the over 2.6 million Brooklynites that call the borough home. He is a big believer in the power of connections, of bringing together people in need of services with resources that have long existed but have been underutilized. As a legislator, Eric’s record in the New York State Senate was one that underscored his strong commitment to the rights of those from every walk of life, including protecting the right to privacy, supporting marriage equality, defending a woman’s right to choose, as well as fighting for students’ rights, workers’ rights, and animal rights. His work involved efforts to prevent racial profiling, gender discrimination, domestic violence, and elder abuse.

99B: Plantbasedtelehealth.com: What, Why and How with Dr. Chris Miller (Veggie Doctor Radio) May 20, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Dr. Chris about lifestyle telemedicine and how it might be able to help so many. If you are wishing you could get a consult from an intelligent and well-trained plant-based physician to help you prevent or potentially reverse disease, your opportunity has arrived!

About featured guest:

Christina Miller, MD, FACEP, is double board-certified in emergency and integrative medicine. After spending ten years in the emergency department and serving as president of Colorado ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians), she radically changed her practice to health promotion, due to her own health concerns and being overwhelmed by the amount of chronic disease and illness seen in the ED. She studied nutritional science and plant-based nutrition, completed a fellowship in integrative medicine, and now focuses exclusively on nutrition and lifestyle changes to get to the root cause of disease and illness, while promoting wellness and longevity in each individual. Instead of treating emergencies in the ED, she is now helping to prevent and reverse chronic illnesses and empower people to live with vitality.

She enjoys teaching plant-based, nutrient-dense cooking classes to both groups and individuals, and helped establish a free clinic outside of Aspen, Colorado for the underserved. She lectures locally, has spoken around the country with Younger Next Year best-selling author Chris Crowley, as well as in corporate wellness programs promoting good nutrition and healthy lifestyle. She has contributed significantly to the nutrition chapter for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) handbook and wrote wellness-promoting tips for the emergency physician. She is founder of Eat and Live Healthfully website and blog and served as the medical director of Aspen Valley Hospital creating their Integrative Medicine program. She was also selected to be a member of the Pitkin County Board of Health, where she helped with policy and public health concerns. In 2019, she moved to New Hampshire, worked at an integrative clinic in Vermont seeing patients, teaching classes, giving lectures, and reaching out to the local community. She is now proud to be part of the start-up company, Plantbasedtelehealth.com, offering plant-based telemedicine services to patients across the country, reaching people who otherwise wouldn’t have access. Her goal is to continue to share the information and the resources necessary to help empower people to take back their health, prevent and even reverse chronic illness, and create long-lasting true health and vitality. One of her favorite mantras is, “Together we are healthier”.

96: The Link Between Bees and Our Survival with Dr. Reese Halter (Veggie Doctor Radio) Apr 26, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Dr. Reese Halter, a forensic naturalist and lover and protector of the earth.

About featured guest:

“Dr. Reese is to global warming what Steve Irwin was to wild animals,” a student says of Reese Halter, a prolific author, broadcaster and environmental advocate who vociferously warns of the imperative need to save trees, bees and seas. Halter designed Muse School’s science curriculum and is a former professor at California Lutheran University. He’s a forensic naturalist who broadcasts extensively in Australia, and he mourns its habitat and ecosystem losses. He’s also an ardent supporter of Gen Z’s efforts for climate justice.

“I’m a full-time advocate for Mother Earth, and my forthcoming book, GenZ Emergency, addresses the need for climate justice,” he says. “If we have no trees, we have no life. American cities have lost more than 180 million trees, which cast invaluable shade, afford habitat for our planetary partners, recharge aquifers and provide oxygen.” Just like our planet’s climate, insects are also in trouble, Halter warns. He urges “lawmakers to enact laws mandating stringent environmental measures be implemented and enforced.” Malibu is a leader, but “it needs to pass an ordinance to protect all ancient trees,” he says.

87: The Power of Food in Diabetes Prevention, Treatment and Reversal with Dr. Arti Thangudu (Veggie Doctor Radio) Feb 23, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, Dr. Thangudu tells us her story and why she practices in a way that approaches the whole person and the root cause of their condition. We discuss her approach to diabetes and the amazing reversals that she has had the privilege of witnessing. What she has to say is incredible and so inspiring. Physicians like Dr. Thangudu give me so much hope!

About featured guest:

Dr. Arti Thangudu is a triple board-certified MD who specializes in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism and lifestyle medicine. She is also certified in plant-based nutrition and a certified yoga teacher.

In her clinic, she focuses on diabetes and chronic disease prevention and reversal by optimizing lifestyle thereby reducing need for medications. She spends time with her patients to identify the root causes of their problems, whether medical, social, nutritional or all of the above, and comes up with person-centered treatment plans for each individual.

Outside of her private clinic, she serves as the endocrinologist for the retired SAPD and San Antonio firefighters. She also engages her community by giving talks and partnering with local businesses to spread the message of healthful lifestyle. In her free time, she explores San Antonio and travels with her husband and two young children.

85: Cara Cifelli on how a Plant-Based Diet Aided her ED Recovery (Veggie Doctor Radio) Feb 09, 2020

In this episode, I have a candid conversation with Cara Cifelli of Cara’s Kitchen where we discuss her history with eating disorders, body image and the work that she does now to help other women develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.

About featured guest:

Cara Carin Cifelli is a Certified Health Coach, Holistic Nutritionist, chef, author, podcast host, and avocado toast lover. Cara passionately provides the tools to help women leave behind dieting, disordered eating, and body shame so they can show up more fully in all areas of their life. She inspires others to leave behind society’s expectations as she guides them into their most confident and vibrant versions of themselves. This self-taught chef learned how to love food again as she was recovering from an eating disorder that she struggled with for 10 years, which she touches on in her new book, Vegan Buddha Bowls.

Cara took her daily pain and struggle and turned it into her life’s work. She quickly learned how easy and exciting healthy eating could be and she wanted to share this with others. She took her delicious recipes to social media where she has thousands of people waiting for her to share her next plant-based creation. As the demand for more recipes grew, Cara knew it was time to write a cookbook. Enter, Vegan Buddha Bowls. Vegan Buddha Bowls includes delicious plant-based recipes that Cara has personally made and created with easy to find ingredients, with a few unique ones to hopefully bring something new to the reader’s pantry. You will find buddha bowls, nourishing salad bowls, veggie-rich pasta bowls, energizing breakfast bowls, simple delicious sides, plant-powered soups, and so much more!

84: How Diet Can Affect Your Hormones with Dr. Neal Barnard (Veggie Doctor Radio) Feb 02, 2020

In this episode, I interview Dr. Neal Barnard about his new book and what diet and lifestyle changes we can make to balance our hormones.

About featured guest:

Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 90 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.

As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. His research contributed to the acceptance of plant-based diets in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2015, he was named a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. In 2016, he founded the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, as a model for making nutrition a routine part of all medical care.

Working with the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and the American Medical Association, Dr. Barnard has authored key resolutions, now part of AMA policy, calling for a new focus on prevention and nutrition in federal policies and in medical practice. In 2018, he received the Medical Society of the District of Columbia’s Distinguished Service Award. He has hosted four PBS television programs on nutrition and health.

Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Barnard received his M.D. degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee.

80: Going Dairy-Free with Olympian Dotsie Bausch from Switch4Good (Veggie Doctor Radio) Jan 05, 2020

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an interesting and inspirational conversation with Olympic silver medalist Dotsie Bausch and we get to know her a little better.

About featured guest:

After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals.

Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow’s milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremonies and on ABC during the Academy Awards broadcast. View the commercial at: https://Switch4Good.org. Bausch is also one of the stars of the film The Game Changers (http://gamechangersmovie.com), which chronicles the story of the world’s most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar winner James Cameron, The Game Changers released to worldwide audiences in October of 2019 and in just one week, became the #1 downloaded film of all time on iTunes.

Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike.

Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits – humane, nutritional and environmental – of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.

“I know of nothing else in medicine that can come close to what a plant-based diet can do. In theory, if everyone were to adopt this, I really believe we can cut health care costs by seventy to eighty percent. That's amazing. And it all comes from understanding nutrition, applying nutrition, and just watching the results.” -Dr. T.

70: Recognizing Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating in Children and Teens with Chelsea Buffum (Veggie Doctor Radio) Oct 27, 2019

In this very special episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I speak with licensed mental health counselor, Chelsea Buffum, who specializes in treating eating disorders. We discuss what they are, how to recognize them, and what to do if you suspect your child might have one.

Disclaimer: The information on this blog, website and podcast is for informational purposes only. It is not meant to replace careful evaluation and treatment. If you have concerns about your or your child’s eating, nutrition or growth, consult a doctor.

About featured guest:

Chelsea Buffum, MS, LMHC is a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in treating eating disorders. She owns an outpatient practice in Yakima, WA, and is passionate about how stigma, discrimination, and social determinants of health impact our relationship to food and our bodies. She uses a Health at Every Size ® lens when working with clients, as disconnection and dissatisfaction with our bodies is often driven by an intense - and culturally sanctioned - desire to lose weight. She believes that body shame is rarely a good and long term motivator to engage in healthy behaviors.

Chelsea graduated from Whitworth University with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and from Central Washington University with her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. Her research has focused on attitudes and stigma toward those who are in larger bodies and/or have Binge Eating Disorder. Prior to opening her practice Chelsea worked as a clinician at CWU’s Student Medical and Counseling Clinic, and developed CWU’s first Eating Disorder Treatment Protocol. She has experience in residential treatment facilities as well as rehabilitative homes.

69: Extreme Picky Eating with Dr. Katja Rowell (Veggie Doctor Radio) Oct 20, 2019

In this very special episode, I interview a family practice physician who is an expert at feeding children who have extreme food selectivity. I really loved her book, Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating: A Step-by-Step Guide for Overcoming Selective Eating, Food Aversion, and Feeding Disorders because it was very compassionate, loving and practical. After reading her book, I knew she would be a perfect guest for the Intuitive Eating series on Veggie Doctor Radio.

Disclaimer: The information on this blog, website and podcast is for informational purposes only. It is not meant to replace careful evaluation and treatment. If you have concerns about your or your child’s eating, nutrition or growth, consult a doctor.

About featured guest:

Katja Rowell is a relational childhood feeding specialist. During her time in practice as a family doctor, she was struck by the prevalence of disordered eating and feeding challenges and related health problems. Rowell believes that establishing a healthy feeding relationship- in essence- how children are fed is the missing piece in addressing disordered eating and weight dysregulation. Rowell has developed a special interest in selective, or picky, eating and is passionate about sharing a responsive feeding philosophy that reduces conflict and supports the child's internal drive to grow up and do well with eating.

Described as "academic, but warm and down-to-earth," Rowell is a popular speaker and is the author of three books, including Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating and Conquering Picky Eating for Teens and Adults.

67: Intuitive Eating and Your Child (Veggie Doctor Radio) Oct 06, 2019

In this episode, I discuss why feeding your child may be stressful and why the majority of parents may interfere with how much their child eats. I also describe Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibilities. Finally, I discuss what I call the Five Pillars of Healthy Eating which is a framework with which to approach feeding your family.

“Children have natural ability with eating. They eat as much as they need, they grow in the way that is right for them, and they learn to eat the food their parents eat.” -Ellyn Satter from Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding

59: The Motivational Triad and What it Means to be Human (Veggie Doctor Radio) Aug 11, 2019

In this episode, I discuss the two parts of our brain - the primitive part that strives to keep us safe and comfortable to ensure survival and our higher brain, the pre-frontal cortex, that allows us to “think about our thinking”, plan, and regulate complex emotions and behaviors.

55: Dieting, Body Image, and Eating Disorders with Chelsea Buffum, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Veggie Doctor Radio) Apr 07, 2019

Chelsea Buffum, MS, LMHC is a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in treating eating disorders. She owns an outpatient practice in Yakima, WA, and is passionate about how stigma, discrimination, and social determinants of health impact our relationship to food and our bodies. She uses a Health at Every Size ® lens when working with clients, as disconnection and dissatisfaction with our bodies is often driven by an intense - and culturally sanctioned - desire to lose weight. She believes that body shame is rarely a good and long term motivator to engage in healthy behaviors.

Chelsea graduated from Whitworth University with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and from Central Washington University with her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. Her research has focused on attitudes and stigma toward those who are in larger bodies and/or have Binge Eating Disorder. Prior to opening her practice Chelsea worked as a clinician at CWU’s Student Medical and Counseling Clinic, and developed CWU’s first Eating Disorder Treatment Protocol. She has experience in residential treatment facilities as well as rehabilitative homes.

53: Dr. Glenn Livingston on How to Never Binge Again (Veggie Doctor Radio) Feb 10, 2019

Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting rm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Glenn has sold $30,000,000 of marketing consulting services over the course of his career. You may have seen his (or his company’s) previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page. You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.

Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

50: Becky Green, Plant-Based Speech Therapist, discusses Feeding Problems and Language Delays in Children (Veggie Doctor Radio) Dec 09, 2018

Becky Green, MA, Speech-Language Pathologist wants to help parents get to the root of their child's picky eating. Many parents who want to adopt a plant-based lifestyle are fearful of how to feed their children who limit their diets to processed foods. For these children, eating something green instead of their usual cheese pizza or goldfish crackers might seem impossible. For parents who are following a vegan diet but still can't get their kids to try actual vegetables, there is hope! There can be many reasons behind picky eating. Working with other healthcare professionals, Becky helps parents uncover the reasons behind their child's feeding challenges. The goal is to eat more of those fresh and fibrous fruits and vegetables.

Becky received her Masters degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder and has since taken additional training in orofacial muscle function (myofunctional) therapy and feeding therapy. She is trilingual and works with patients in Portuguese and Spanish. When not working, Becky loves experimenting with plant-based recipes (Dr. Greger's new cookbook being one of her favorites) and rock climbing with her husband.

45: Ian Cramer, The Plant-Based Cyclist, on the Power of a Whole Foods Plant-Based Diet for Athletes (Veggie Doctor Radio) Oct 14, 2018

Ian Cramer, a competitive cyclist, is passionate about spreading the message that diet and lifestyle dramatically affect individual health as well as the health of the planet. For Ian, this reality speaks of encouragement. He motivates others and is motivated himself, by the simple yet challenging concept that maintaining good health and peak performance involve making good choices. Likewise, chronic disease may be reversed or prevented when these good choices, that are easily and economically available, become the norm everyday.

Ian is an allied health care professional with degrees in Kinesiology and athletic training. Beyond his day job, he's a public lecturer and produces an interview-based podcast. Driven by knowledge, evidence and civil discourse, he created The Ian Cramer Podcast. With a mission to interview doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition, Ian's unwavering focus in his podcast is to learn more, disseminate this information to a larger audience, educate lay-people and the medical community and change the world by leading in positive and responsible ways.

In June 2015, he and a group of three friends from Ohio rode their bikes across the country in what's known as The Race Across America. Supported by a full crew, Team Oxford Autoimmune completed the 3200-mile journey in 7 days 16 hours and 27 minutes. For Ian, the estimated 6000 miles of training and racing for the event were all done on a plant-based diet. He continues to race and ride recreationally in Rochester, New York.

43: Dr. Sylvia Tara on The Secret Life of Fat (Veggie Doctor Radio) Sep 16, 2018

Sylvia Tara was driven to research fat, science, and lifestyle after she finally got "fed up" with eating less and exercising more than her slimmer friends throughout her life. Her experiences told her there was more to weight loss than just “calorie in, calorie out.” As a biochemist, she was driven to get to the bottom of fat’s mysteries and the reasons it vexes us. In her best-selling book, The Secret Life of Fat, she reveals the complex biology of fat, how it resists loss, and what it means for each of us.

Dr. Tara holds a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She was a consultant with McKinsey & Company and has worked at the world's largest biotechnology companies.

42: Keith Burgeson discusses the PETA Vegan Mentor Program and how you can get involved (Veggie Doctor Radio) Sep 02, 2018

A native of southern New Jersey, Keith Burgeson holds a bachelor’s degree in advertising from Rowan University and a certificate in plant-based nutrition from Cornell. After college, he traveled across the United States for more than four years as an AmeriCorps volunteer, serving as an environmental educator, tackling food insecurity, and developing volunteer-enrichment programs. Before coming to PETA in 2014, he worked as an animal caregiver for a farmed-animal sanctuary in southern California. An ethical vegan since 2009, Burgeson is a testament to the performance benefits of vegan eating: As a competitive long-distance runner, he consistently places in the top three percent of finishers for most of the races he participates in.
