  • A Wonderful Resource

    Chef AJ is an amazing resource in the health-conscious plant based space.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Magic of Cruciferous Vegetables for Reversing Autoimmune Disease with @BrookeGoldnerMD
Q: Ann asks for motivation tips and recommended books to sustain dietary changes.
Dr. Goldner outlines a multi-part motivation framework including understanding habit formation, neurobiology of behavior, and the importance of a strong why; she references her books Goodbye Lupus, Goodbye Autoimmune Disease, and other materials addressing mindset and emotional factors.
The Magic of Cruciferous Vegetables for Reversing Autoimmune Disease with @BrookeGoldnerMD
Q: Giselle asks how fibromyalgia is distinguished from other conditions that create pain, brain fog, and fatigue.
Fibromyalgia is described as a diagnosis of exclusion, often with negative autoimmune antibodies but significant pain and fatigue; the host emphasizes validating patient experiences and using nutrition and lifestyle strategies to improve symptoms.
The Year In Plants 2025 with Plant Based Cardiologist Dr. Andrew Freeman
Q: What should a patient do if they experience chest pain but want to avoid emergency room visits?
Chest pain warrants caution; if symptoms suggest potential cardiac events—especially in older adults or those with risk factors—seek prompt medical evaluation rather than delaying care. In non-acute situations, discussing symptom patterns with a clinician and lower-risk strategies can be explored, but safety comes first.
The Year In Plants 2025 with Plant Based Cardiologist Dr. Andrew Freeman
Q: Dr. Freeman, is olive oil compatible with a very low-fat Ornish-style approach, or should it be avoided entirely?
Oil is controversial; in strict, low-fat plans it's often minimized or eliminated, but in more flexible plant-based approaches a tiny amount—like a teaspoon—may be tolerable for some individuals, depending on risk and goals. The consensus is to prioritize whole foods and minimize added fats, especially for high-risk patients.
Fighting Nutrition Myths with Dr. Brooke Goldner @Goodbye Lupus by Brooke Goldner, M.D.
Q: When trying to drop fat, should half a cup of chia or flax still be used?
Unlimited omega-3 sources can aid fat loss and overall metabolism; the key is results-driven dosing and adjusting for individual tolerances and conditions like gallbladder issues.
