Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a pioneer in plant-based nutrition, discusses the power of nutrition in preventing diseases and promoting overall health.
Since his first book in 1996, Dr. Joel Fuhrman has been teaching people how to Eat to Live with his Nutritarian approach to eating.
Today, Rip and Dr. Fuhrman focus their conversation around his most recent book, 2020’s Eat for Life and the importance of micronutrients and phytochemicals like greens, beans, onions, berries and mushrooms to slow down aging, prevent and reverse diabetes and heart-disease, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduce hunger and food cravings.
The interview also highlights small health-promoting habits, G-BOMBS in meals, eliminating salt, and distinguishing true hunger from toxic hunger.
Dr. Fuhrman, like so many of the legendary plant-based physicians, has been unwavering in his beliefs and practice for decades and that’s why it’s an honor to welcome him to the PLANTSTRONG Podcast.

We all know that eating more plants is incredibly powerful not only our health, but the planet.
A shocking 30 to 40 percent of the entire United States' food supply ends up in landfills, much of which stems from household waste. As you may have guessed, food waste is not a great thing for our environmental impact and, obviously, our wallets.
That’s why we’re excited to share that one of the most anticipated cookbooks of 2024 is finally here - and it’s entirely PLANT-BASED and ZERO-WASTE.
Meet PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking by our plantstrong pal, New York Times bestselling author and social media sensation Carleigh Bodrug, back for her third appearance on the PLANTSTRONG Podcast.
Scrappy Cooking, shares how we can extend the life of some of our favorite foods, and turn some of these foods into the most mouth-water meals you can imagine! There’s even a “Got this? Make That!” section where she recommends recipes based on what you have in your kitchen. So, no longer do you have to stare at the ripened banana and go, “I guess I’ll toss it!” Nope. Just open the book and go to town on some fantastic recipes. 
Save money, reduce waste, eat healthier than ever before with Plant You Scrappy Cooking.

Dr. Barnard highlights the scientific principles behind appetite-taming, calorie-trapping, and metabolism-boosting foods, emphasizing how these power foods can optimize weight loss naturally. The importance of fiber in enhancing weight loss and overall health is also discussed, with a focus on incorporating whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes to reap the benefits of fiber in daily meals.
The conversation also dispels myths surrounding foods like bananas, oatmeal, potatoes, eggs, and soy - offering Dr. Barnard’s medical perspective on their nutritional properties and role in a balanced diet.
Plus, we couldn’t let Dr. Barnard go without asking his thoughts around the new weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy…and why even shows like 60 Minutes can’t even be trusted anymore.

Inflammation is certainly a buzz word these days, isn’t it? Every time you turn around, you’re reading about something that’s causing inflammation in your body. It’s a minefield of misinformation and here to help clear up some of that confusion is educator and author, Linda Tyler, who recently released the book, The Plant-Based Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook.
Because inflammation is an emerging area of research, that makes it ripe for misleading advice and a lot of poor information. In fact, most can't even define exactly what it is.
Inflammation isn't all bad. In fact, it's actually your body's way of protecting itself against disease or injury. But what's happening, primarily because of the standard American diet, is that your body is constantly in a “fight or flight response” creating chronic inflammation. It’s this damaging state that can play a dangerous role in diseases, many types of cancer, aging, and even weight gain.
The good news is that you can reduce inflammation through your diet, and eating a healthy plant-based diet is especially helpful for calming the immune system.
The Plant-Based Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook delivers tasty plant-based recipes centered around foods known to play especially helpful roles in the fight against inflammation, including ginger, turmeric, garlic, berries, citrus, and high-fiber foods such as legumes and whole grains.
She also shares tips and recipes from her cookbook that incorporate all of these superstar foods. This conversation inspires mindful eating habits and highlights the joy of nourishing anti-inflammatory meals.
