It's no secret that the H.V.M.N. Podcast regularly features interviews from some of the top carnivore diet proponents out there. To name a few, our episodes with Mikhaila Peterson, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Shawn Baker, and Ironman World Champion Pete Jacobs have all clearly struck a chord with our community.

As an evidence-based podcast, we believe it is only fair to provide a platform that presents a different perspective in the "diet wars". Specifically, we have yet to have an in-depth discussion about plant-based diets and the science associated with a nutritional intervention many are increasingly adopting.

Dr. Joel Kahn, known as "America's Healthy Heart Doc", has been a plant-based cardiologist for many years and treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career. If there is a single point both sides (whether you're a hardcore carnivore or vegetarian) can agree on, it's that poor nutrition is a core cause of a number of chronic diseases - which traditional standard of care is still slowly coming to grips with. Instead of treating sickness and symptoms, Dr. Kahn now actively works to prevent (and reverse) disease, through a holistic lifestyle that incorporates nutrition, exercise, and the application of cutting-edge therapies.

In Episode 165 of the H.V.M.N. Podcast, Geoff and Dr. Kahn discuss:

· How Dr. Kahn first got into cardiology and what led him to commit to a plant-based diet. History of the rise of highly-processed foods, nuances of corporate-funded research, and experimenting with a plant-based keto diet.

· The complicated ecosystem of fats, triglycerides, lipids, and lipoproteins in heart health. How should one think about cholesterol levels given all these factors?

· Dr. Valter Longo's "Fast Mimicking Diet" - Why go on a calorie-restricted diet that mimics fasting than actually intermittent fasting?
