“When we treat the cause, these lifestyle choices, our bodies have a remarkable capacity to begin healing and much more quickly than we once realized.”

On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the legendary Dr. Dean Ornish. Dr. Ornish is widely considered the Father of Lifestyle Medicine and for decades has been scientifically proving, for the first time, that diet and lifestyle changes can often reverse the progression of many of the most common and disabling chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, Alzheimer’s and others. He is the Founder and President of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute, clinical professor of medicine at the UCSF, and the author of seven books, all national bestsellers.  He was recognized as a “TIME 100 Innovator;” by Life magazine as “one of the 50 most influential members of his generation;” by People magazine as “one of the most interesting people of the year;” and by Forbes magazine as “one of the world’s 7 most powerful teachers.” Dean’s programs are the first lifestyle programs in history to be covered by Medicare… because they work. Need we say more? 

Dean’s latest book UNDO IT! How Simple Lifestyle Changes Can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases, will publish in paperback on January 4, 2022.
