A transcript for this episode can be found on our blog: Evidence-Based Nutrition: An Interview with Dr. Michael Greger

In order to take control of your health, it’s important to learn how to make your own decisions on nutrition based on the information available, and carefully looking at both sides of arguments. Dr. Michael Greger joins us to shed light on corruption in the food industry and to share resources on where you can find info on evidence based nutrition. His mission is to give people the tools to make the right decisions. In this episode we discuss:

Going to the source of nutrition research to make your own decisions
Evidence behind a whole-food plant-based diet
Risks of eating out and hedonistic foods
How healthy food actually tastes better if you quit junk food
Intermittent fasting is good for you, but eat before sunset
The importance of exercise combined with nutrition

Dr. Greger shares that what you put into your mouth is a matter of life and death. He wants to empower people to get to the source of nutrition information, so they can be empowered to make important decisions for the health of themselves and their families.
