Using a whole food plant-based diet to overcome common diseases, such as diabetes, and to heal leaky gut

Dana Laake and her special guest Michael A. Klaper will discuss using a whole food plant-based diet to overcome common diseases, such as diabetes, and to heal leaky gut. Michael A. Klaper, MD, graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago and received post-graduate training in internal medicine, surgery, anesthesiology and orthopedics at the University of British Columbia hospitals in Vancouver and obstetrics at the University of California, San Francisco. As Dr. Klaper's medical career progressed, he began to realize that many of the diseases his patients brought to his office were made worse, or actually caused, by the high-fat, high sugar, overly processed Standard American Diet (S.A.D.). He currently practices nutritionally-based medicine at True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, California.
