Simplify

This week, we talk with Dr. Joel Fuhrman. You might be familiar with his bestselling books, like Eat to Live and Super Immunity. Dr. Fuhrman is the passionate pioneer of nutritarianism, a style of eating which focuses on jamming into your diet as many nutrient-rich, cancer-fighting, health-bolstering foods as possible. Over his many years of medical practice, Dr. Furhman has seen nutritarianism reverse diabetes, stall cancer, and remedy many long-term health problems — all in addition to helping millions of people lose weight. Host Caitlin Schiller is one beneficiary of the nutritarian approach: two years ago, following Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat to Live plan allowed Caitlin to get off her iron supplements. Plus, it improved her vision so much, she had to stop wearing glasses! You’ll hear all about that and more on this week’s episode of Simplify.
