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.
