In this episode we’ll be interviewing Dr. Joel Fuhrman - an American celebrity doctor who created and advocates for the “Nutritarian Diet”, a nutrient rich, whole plant-based diet with mainly non-or minimally processed plant food consumption. We’ll ask Dr. Fuhrman to tell us how he got started and what led him to change his career path from a world-class figure skater to a licensed medical professional who has touched the lives of tens of thousands of people. Dr Fuhrman will explain to his new listeners what the specifics of the Nutritarian Diet are and why he believes that this diet is beneficial for preventing and reversing so many serious and debilitating chronic conditions and promoting longevity and optimal performance. He will clarify some of the recent controversies related to his research work and his position on some plant food groups as part of his diet compared to other whole food plant-based diets.
