July 17, 2019

Dr. Joel Kahn is a best-selling author and “America’s Holistic Heart Doctor” as well as a 40+ year vegan. He talks about why he goes head-to-head with the anti-lectins (Plant Paradox, etc.) and anti-grains (Grain Brain, etc.) and carnivore and keto camps–and what we should all know about how to be vibrant and youthful at 60, like he is.

Episode Highlights with Dr. Joel Kahn:

* [00:8:24] Nutrition and our lives. Why does nutrition these days seem to be about everything but actual nutrition? Dr. Kahn talks about the importance of air, water, and food quality in our communities (and the research on what happens if it’s bad).
* [00:13:49] Just a touch more protein, please. Should we increase our protein uptake when we get older? And can we stay plant-based?
* [00:15:57] The drawbacks to fish protein. The bio-accumulators on trial: toxins, atherosclerosis, and the molecule trimethylamine oxide. What does this metabolite do?
* [00:21:31] Fish oil: Does it hurt me? Some research, testing, and evidence on mercury levels and atherosclerosis. And a side note, what is carrageenan?
* [00:27:25] Cool vitamins on the market (and they’re vegan!) Three brands of vitamins to try, and what the whole-food plant-based dieter can do about getting enough B12. Just beet it!
* [00:32:27] When are green smoothies not enough? A look at Dr. Esselstyn’s argument against the health drink, his Spectrum of health, and the Sausage Egg McMuffin test. Insights on, how much oil should we eat? And the Nitric Oxide and Dietary Nitrate systems that come out to play when we drink our green smoothies.
* [00:47:34] “You go head-to-head with who?” Lectins, legumes, and beans. Oh my! Dr. Joel’s truthful assessment of heart surgeon Dr. Gundry and his Plant Paradox.
* [00:59:22] The Paleo diet was bad enough, but Keto… Let’s talk about it. Some of the keto diet research explained, and what risks increase the longer you’re on it.
* [01:08:52] Dr. Kahn and his Green Space. Locations of his vegan restaurants and food truck. Bon Appétit!
