“I’ve met Rip. I like Rip. I respect Rip. Now I worry about Rip. The last 7-8 podcasts have been painfully incoherent as evidenced by long awkward pauses, stumbling, mumbling, fidgeting, darting eyes, and losing track. Perhaps his father or another expert could *strongly* encourage he take a B12...”Read full review »

“Wow- Casey Means was a great person to interview and I so look forward to hearing more from her. That episode was just jam packed with information. As someone who has reversed PCOS symptoms with a plant based diet, I’m eager to hear more on insulin. Honestly, anything she wants to talk about...”Read full review »

“I was 102Kgs. Taking 6 medications. Not really exercising. Eating (I thought) healthily, and my daughter said she wanted to be vegan! 😮
My husband and I had to think about this, and we discovered PCRM first, then John McDougall, and finally Caldwell Esselstyn, and we were on our way. Not a “all...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, but had to stop and rewind when Rip told long-distance hiker, Ruth that she was fortunate her husband “allowed” her to pursue her passion. What is this, the 1800s? Even she gently corrected him. Come on Rip you can do better.”
