Show notes

Karen Goodlett MD is an internal medicine doctor, Assistant Physician Program Director of Quality Resource Management and Co-lead of 21-Day Plant Power Challenge sponsored by Kaiser’s Wellness Committee. In this interview she tells a story of how one person, and then a small group of people, made a big difference setting a trend and bringing plant-based nutrition into the mainstream of the culture in Kaiser.

This is how it unfolded:

In June 2013 Dr. Michael Greger (who was on our show last week!) was invited to speak to physicians at Kaiser Permanente regarding “Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death” (https://nutritionfacts.org).

In August 2013 Kaiser organized their 1st 21-Day Plant Power Challenge!
Dr. Goodlett was a participant in the challenge and converts to following a Low Fat Whole Food Plant-based Nutrition Lifestyle by the end of the Challenge.

September 2014 Kaiser had their 2nd 21-Day Plant Power Challenge (PPC). This time Dr. Goodlett was a Co-Leader of the Challenge.

In January 2015 Dr. Goodlett, along with other PPC leaders, created a webinar which was presented to Kaiser’s National Healthy Lifestyle Group on how to sponsor a 21-Day Plant Power Challenge, which led to other Kaiser Regions around the nation sponsoring 21-Day Plant Power Challenges patterned after their model.

In 2015 and 2016 Kaiser was a major sponsor of the Food as Medicine Conference held at the Emory Conference Center (now re-branded as the Remedy Food Project https://www.remedyfood.org) .

In September 2016 one of Kaiser's Nurses and Dr. Goodlett sponsored a smaller departmental 21-Day Challenge at the Kaiser Headquarters which led to the development of their weekly Plant Power Lunch Support Group at the Kaiser Headquarters.

In November 2016 The Kaiser PPC Leaders assisted The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine in sponsoring the event - Kickstart Your Health Atlanta ( https://www.pcrm.org/news/news-releases/atlanta-physicians-prescribe-food-medicine-nov-1-health-challenge).

In January 2018 a Kaiser Nutritionist created a Whole Food Plant-based Nutrition Class for Kaiser’s Healthy Living Class offerings to our patients and the public.

In September 2018 Kaiser had their 3rd Plant Power Challenge for which Dr. Goodlett was a Co-Lead yet again.

In May 2019 Kaiser’s Weight Management Program began offering a Plant-based Nutrition Class.

Dr. Greger has lectured at the Conference on World Affairs, the National Institutes of Health, and the International Bird Flu Summit, among countless other symposia and institutions; testified before Congress; has appeared on shows such as The Colbert Report and The Dr. Oz Show; and was invited as an expert witness in defense of Oprah Winfrey at the infamous "meat defamation" trial. In 2017, he was honored with the ACLM Lifestyle Medicine Trailblazer Award.

Dr. Greger's most recent scientific publications in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Critical Reviews in Microbiology, Family and Community Health, and the International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition, and Public Health explore the public health implications of industrialized animal agriculture.

Dr. Greger is also licensed as a general practitioner specializing in clinical nutrition and is a founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Both of his latest books, How Not to Die and the How Not to Die Cookbook, became instant New York Times Best Sellers. Dr. Greger is a graduate of the Cornell University School of Agriculture and the Tufts University School of Medicine.

In this conversation we talk through some of Dr. Greger's previous work and discuss his new book "How Not to Diet" that will release in December 2019. Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or weight loss fad—and yet obesity rates continue to rise, and with it a growing number of diseases and health problems. In "How Not to Diet" Dr. Greger suggests a different approach. He dives deep in the science and lays out the key ingredients of the ideal weight-loss —factors such as calorie density, the insulin index, and the impact of foods on our gut microbiome—showing how plant-based eating is crucial to our success. Dr. Greger talks about the latest discoveries in cutting-edge areas like chronobiology to reveal the factors that maximize our natural fat-burning capabilities.
