Eat to Live Jenna Fuhrman, Dr. Fuhrman

Welcome back to another insightful episode of the Eat Live podcast. While it's a departure from our usual dynamic with my daughter Jenna, today's episode promises an equally enriching dialogue as I'm joined by a dear friend and esteemed colleague, Matthew Lederman MD. For those unfamiliar, Matt has been deeply entrenched in the realm of plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine for decades. However, what sets him apart is his innovative approach, which extends beyond dietary excellence to encompass a holistic view of wellness. Today, we delve into his latest endeavor, "Wellness to Wonderful," a groundbreaking book co-authored with his wife Alona Pulde MD.
