Episode #153  Featuring Dr. Joel Fuhrman  The creator of the NUTRITARIAN DIET!  I was introduced to Dr. Joel Fuhrman by my great friend Javant Benton known online as "Healthy Vegan Eating".  After interviewing Javant, he told me that Dr. Fuhrman was his mentor and that I absolutely had to meet him... I am extremely happy that I did!  Dr. Fuhrman is my kind of guy, as he is very outspoken on his belief set with diet and brings the facts to back it up!  Throughout the interview, Dr. Fuhrman adamantly defended his advocation for a nutrient-dense, plant based diet and its ability to reverse chronic disease.     For over 30 years, Dr. Fuhrman has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes, and many other illnesses using smart nutrition. In his medical practice, and through his books and television specials, he continues to bring this life-saving message to hundreds of thousands of people around the world.  He coined the term "Nutritarian" to describe a nutrient-dense eating style — designed to prevent cancer, slow aging, and extend lifespan.  Dr. Fuhrman is a 7 TIMES New York Times Best Selling Author!!     IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:    Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s background: how his interest in nutrition began through athletics, family health issues, and his decision to go back to medical school. The gap between nutrition education in medical school and real-world nutrition research/practice. The idea that food is medicine, and that conventional medicine often treats symptoms without addressing root causes. Lifestyle medicine and “deprescribing” medications safely when diet and health improve. His Nutritarian approach: a nutrient-dense, plant-rich way of eating focused on longevity and disease reversal. The G-BOMBS foods: greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds as core anti-cancer foods. Why raw and cooked vegetables both matter, with special emphasis on cruciferous greens. The role of beans as high-protein, low-glycemic foods that support satiety and health. Why oils, including olive oil, are viewed as harmful in this framework because of calorie density and appetite stimulation. The risks associated with animal products, especially red meat, eggs, fish, and farmed seafood. Protein for athletes: plant-based protein can support many people, but maximal muscle gain may involve trade-offs with longevity. Practical meal structure advice, especially building lunch around a large salad, bean soup, greens, and nut/seed-based dressings. The importance of nutrient density, diversity, body fat reduction, omega-3 status, and limiting exposure to medical drugs. Prepare to be enlightened, entertained and challenged to look at foods and diet in a different perspective!!  DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!    Check out Dr. Fuhrman's Website: https://www.drfuhrman.com/       Subscribe to Dr. Fuhrman on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/drfuhrman         Follow Dr. Fuhrman on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/joelfuhrmanmd/   ______________________________________________________________________________________   TODAYS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY TIMELINE!    To PURCHASE MITOPURE visit Dylan's landing page and use code DYLAN to save 20% OFF!!   https://shop.timeline.com/DYLAN ______________________________________________________________________________   The Dylan Gemelli NAD optimization protocol powered by JINFINITI:     https://www.jinfiniti.com/7-things-you-need-to-know-about-nad-dylan-gemelli-v1/     Jinfiniti: Save 15% site wide with code DYLAN   https://www.jinfiniti.com/dylan-gemelli-protocol/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=4&affid=131   _______________________________________________________________________________________ JUST THRIVE Probiotics   Use my link below and receive 90 DAYS OF FREE Digestive Bitters when you sign up for 90 days of the Probiotic!!!     https://justthrivehealth.com/DYLAN       ALSO Take 20% off at Just Thrive SITE WIDE with my link below https://justthrivehealth.com/DYLANGEMELLI   ______________________________________________________________________________   The worlds FIRST EVER Topical Glutathione at AURO WELLNESS!  SAVE 15% with code "DYLAN" https://aurowellness.com/dylangemelli ___________________________________________________________________________________________     Get the Apollo Neuro for $99 OFF!!
