Is it even possible to extend your life and vitality 20 years, while protecting yourself from the major health killers? Dr. Joel Fuhrman, today’s guest, believes so and he’s here to tell us just how to do that.
We are thrilled to bring you a globally recognized guest who has been studying and teaching the power of food as medicine for over 30 years. Dr. Fuhrman is a world-renowned physician, nutrition expert, and seven-time New York Times best-selling author specializing in preventing and reversing disease through a nutrient-dense, plant-based diet.
He shares his motivational start from watching his father transform his health, to seeking the power of nutrition while competing as a world-class figure-skater.
That propelled Dr. Fuhrman to develop the “Nutritarian” approach to health, in which he shows how nutrient-dense foods can not only help you feel better and live a more vibrant life today, but also prevent and reverse disease.
You’ll be blown away by the phenomenal stories of success that Dr. Fuhrman has seen in his practice of implementing the Nutritarian approach, from healing heart disease and metastatic cancer, to patients getting to be taken off of the organ-transplant list because of complete disease reversal.
Dr. Fuhrman shares the simple, practical steps that can make drastic, life-changing transformations in your own day-to-day life. He shares an intriguing list of foods (that are probably already in your kitchen!) that can stop cancer in its tracks. He also tells how to easily incorporate the best foods into your grocery list, even if you’re on a budget. And don’t miss out on ideas for the most flavorful sauces and dressings, that use health-boosting fats and spices.
Dr. Fuhrman reveals the key to eating a healthy amount at every meal while breaking food addiction, which may be a lot simpler than you think. He also shares some surprising results from his extensive research on the trending topic of intermittent fasting.
This episode is so full of powerful and life-changing advice, you won’t just want to listen, but to share with all those close to you. Dr Fuhrman speaks with such motivation, empowering us to take control of our health through informed, sustainable lifestyle choices that are absolutely possible and within reach.
Tune in to be inspired by the science of how food can be a tool for healing and longevity and learn how small changes in your diet can transform your health so you can put your best self forward for all the life worth living for.
