Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Future of Heart Disease Prevention with Joel Kahn, MD, FACC
Q: What are the most important steps to prevent heart disease early in life?
Begin with a plant-forward lifestyle, consistent exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management, then leverage early screenings like calcium scoring and lipid/inflammation markers to tailor prevention—potentially reducing the need for medications if imaging and labs indicate low risk.
Anthony Masiello: From Health Crisis to Life's Purpose | NHA Today
Q: What does Lifestyle Telemedicine aim to achieve?
To provide accessible, physician-led lifestyle medicine care via telehealth, enabling people nationwide and internationally to receive guidance, labs, and prescriptions when appropriate, with a focus on long-term health over medication alone.
What Regenerative Farming Taught Jason DeSalvo About Food, Health and Grains | NHA Today
Q: What was the hardest part of transitioning to a whole-food, plant-based SOS lifestyle?
The social aspect was toughest; giving up favorite foodie traditions strained friendships initially, but those close to them adapted, and they found new social circles through the NHA and Ethos.
What Regenerative Farming Taught Jason DeSalvo About Food, Health and Grains | NHA Today
Q: What's your favorite vegetable growing on the farm right now?
Asparagus is in peak season with two varieties; one purple, both large and sweet, often eaten raw and tasting much fresher than store-bought asparagus.
Water Fasting Benefits, Safety, and Science with Dr. Alan Goldhamer | NHA Today
Q: Can you explain the SOS-free plant-based approach and why it matters beyond just being vegan?
SOS-free emphasizes whole plant foods without salt, oil, and sugar to avoid ultra-processed components that promote overeating and disease; it's proposed as a framework to maximize healthspan beyond simple veganism.
