The Simple Path To Health

And no, it’s not too late. In four episodes so far, Dr. Forey provides a very helpful framework for thinking about, and more importantly, applying to you daily life, the scientific knowledge that has accumulated about how to become healthy—nutrition and exercise and general movement. He is no nihilist—he won’t give into the consequences of believing that a multitude of bad studies reaching different conclusions about the basics of what and how to eat means there is no settled science about many incredibly big and important things. He walks through the most compelling and rigorous studies to show you what is known about the nutritional basis for disease and the role of exercise/movement in helping to reverse or prevent diseases development. He then tells you what this means for how/when/what to eat and how to exercise.

I came cross Dr Forey’s name through Dr Annette Bosworth’s website recently. She spoke about the blood test which Kevin delves into in this episode. I hope more doctors will hear and utilize this test for prevention of later life illness and health issues. Keep up the great work! We need more like you!

Kevin presents his views in a clear structured manner and provides a compelling amount of evidence to back them up. He also brings a level of accessible nuance that is helpful even for people who spend a lot to time reading about nutrition. For example, in the first episode I really enjoyed the discussion of how he thinks about diet and exercise as distinct topics with separate potential benefits or pitfalls for overall health.
