Why You Should Listen

I recently had the chance to catch up with Dr. Joel Kahn to learn more about his take on what people should eat to improve their health. He breaks down why he believes environmental impact should be intrinsically factored in to personal diet choice and how partnering personal health with sustainability can actually make a massive difference for patients and the planet alike.  

I also get his take on:

  • Current diet fads, such as the ketogenic and paleo diets.

  • Which foods Americans are eating too much of and what we need to be consuming to ensure maximum health and wellness.

  • The science behind his plant-based practice and his recommendations for heart patients.

  • What its like to run 3 plant-based restaurants and how he chose what to put on the menu.

It’s not every day that you get the chance to pick the brain of a plant-based cardiologist, and I certainly walked away from this conversation with a wealth of useful and incredibly practical information.
