Six Kinds of Whole Foods Make a Plant-Based Diet Easy

Whole foods, plant-based diets are big news. You have probably heard about this optimal eating plan through best-selling books (for example, The China Study), films such as Forks over Knives, or the CNN documentary The Last Heart Attack. Bill Clinton is not shy about sharing the health and weight benefits he has gained following an eating plan based on vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains. Just about every supermarket has plant milks, such as almond, rice, soy, or coconut milks, not to mention choices such as veggie burgers, whole grain pastas, and fruit sorbet.

Even if you are recognizing the power of a whole foods, plant-based diet, you may still be ambivalent about committing to this eating plan. A routine diet based on animal and processed foods may beckon you with convenience and familiarity. You may be unsure how to upgrade your diet to the optimal level that will protect your health, reverse chronic illness, and get you to your ideal weight.

The Plant-Based Pharmacist - Dr. Don Wagner Radio Show

I had the honor recently of being a special guest on a terrific radio show featuring Dr. Don Wagner, board certified in family practice and emergency medicine.  The Dr. Don show takes a novel approach to today's healthcare problems. It's the perfect blend between conventional medicine and lifestyle approaches towards chronic diseases as he aims to educate the public with the most up to date and credible medical information to improve the lives of thousands.

The segment below features Dr. Don and I discussing my own personal story and professional journey into the world of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition.  You'll hear how I grew up, what I learned as I made my way through school, and how I ended up becoming a plant-based pharmacist.

You don't want to miss this episode of the Dr. Don show!  So without further ado - sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Health is Tops in Book Sales

We are all looking for ways to reduce the risk of disease and also reverse diseases we have such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heartburn, type II diabetes, gall bladder disease, overweight, heart disease, arthritis, gall bladder disease, and some cancers. Rightly so, more people are looking to the food they eat to improve their health.

This is evident when looking at the top book sales on amazon.com. Of the top 15 best selling books on health, five are books that show step by step how to improve health by improving eating habits. The #5 best seller is Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, the Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Nutrition-Based Cure,# 7 is Food, Inc., #10 Forks Over Knives, the Plant-Based Way to Health, #12 is Eat to Live: the Amazing Nutrient-Rich Program for Fast & Sustained Weight Loss, and #15 is The China Study.

Did you know eating soluble fiber found in some grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans can carry cholesterol out of the intestine along with waste and reduces your cholesterol by a few points? Green leafy vegetables, broccoli, tomatoes, and berries are protective against some cancers. And this is just a sample of how the right foods protect our health. Foods are not a substitute for working with our physician, but they play an important role in preventing and reversing these Western diseases.
