  • (Love the podcast!) More female based research is needed

    In the recent episode with Dr. Fuhrman he speaks of women in mid-life and older cutting calories down to 1300 or less, to lose weight, without mentioning the nuances of nutrition and the effects of perimenopause and menopause on the body as well as body composition and the effects of strength training and increased protein. It’s so tiring hearing male doctors talk so confidently about women’s health - women are not little men. Would be refreshing to have more experts on the show who are experts ... more

  • Stay in the Nutrition Lane, please

    The recent episode on closure of the ONPRC was unresearched and oversimplified in your efforts to sensationalize the topic. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is “discovered” but still not fully understood in terms of the effects of early pregnancy and low to moderate exposure. Human studies of precise timing of alcohol exposure, exact doses and fetal brain analysis are unethical. Not only are NHPs still essential, they are deeply cared for by those in the field. You chose to highlight a tragic, deeply sad ... more

Lupus and Sjögren's Symptoms Reversed In Weeks With This Diet | Brooke Goldner, MD
Q: Walk us through how the case series participants achieved such rapid transformation and how quickly the body can respond to dietary intervention.
Dr. Goldner explains that the three women largely reversed symptoms within weeks while remaining under rheumatology care, with ongoing remission years later after following the Goodbye Autoimmune Disease Protocol and related lifestyle changes, underscoring that nutrition, sleep, stress management, and ongoing medical oversight collectively drive rapid improvements.
Chris Beat Cancer: Food, Faith, And The Will To Live
Q: In your experience, how should patients approach asking questions to their doctors?
Patients should insist on clarity about whether treatments are curative, understand survival and no-evidence-of-disease statistics, and seek to connect with specialists who support a holistic approach.
Chris Beat Cancer: Food, Faith, And The Will To Live
Q: What impact did your faith have on your decisions and hope?
Faith provided the backbone for choosing an alternative path, sustaining him through fear, guiding him to seek support from family and a community, and motivating him to trust in divine guidance while pursuing healing.
Chris Beat Cancer: Food, Faith, And The Will To Live
Q: Are there any other options besides traditional chemotherapy that you explored?
He discusses his exploration of raw and plant-based therapies, consulting integrative oncologists, naturopaths, and testimonials that inspired him to pursue an at-home nutrition-focused plan rather than immediately continuing conventional chemotherapy.
Chris Beat Cancer: Food, Faith, And The Will To Live
Q: Walk us through your story if you would.
Chris describes initial diagnosis at 26 with stage 3 colon cancer, the decision to delay chemo, and his discovery of nutrition- and lifestyle-based approaches that ultimately led him to start a plant-based, intensive daily regimen to support healing.
