Dr. Brian Clement from the Hippocrates Institute | Healing and Health Through A Plant-Based Diet

Today we have Dr. Brian Clement from the Hippocrates Institute, a holistic healing center where thousands of seekers have retreated and recharged over the last 60+ years. The institute follows the ethos of ancient Greek hippocrates in declaring “I will give no deadly medicine to anyone.” Brian tells about how and why he changed his eating habits from when he was young and obese and the changes he experienced through this shift. We discuss eating animal meat versus having a plant based diet and the benefits that having a vegetarian diet can have on us, as well as the effects on your food and the nutrients found therein when you cook the food and when you don’t cook it. How Brian got started 1:08The journey of changing everything and losing 60 kilograms 9:04Getting started with Hippocrates 16:21The foundation 20:16The benefits of not cooking organic foods 25:22Who goes to the institute? 29:53There’s a difference between raw food and living food 37:42If you’re not independently wealthy 41:09Dealing with other diets 43:06Proteins we need 50:28Where to find more info about Hippocrates 58:01“I said, ‘Mom and Dad, I’m no longer going to eat any animal based foods.’ and then they were so shocked that they actually had to flee the room, thinking, ‘Now this kid is suicidal. Our first child. He’s suicidal.’” 10:31 “Most of your listeners may or may not know that today animal eaters are a minority. We’re still about 40% of the world’s population, where the majority, 60%, primarily thrive, don’t survive. We thrive on plants.” 11:44https://hippocratesinst.org/
