In his recent health talk, Dr. Riz highlights the four-pronged approach of the "Let's Beat Breast Cancer" campaign by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). The campaign emphasizes the following key steps to reduce the risk of breast cancer and improve overall health:Choose Plant-Based Foods: A healthful diet rich in plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans, can lower breast cancer risk by promoting weight loss, reducing estrogen levels, and providing essential nutrients. A variety of these foods should be included in one's diet, along with a reliable source of vitamin B12, such as a B12 supplement.Exercise Regularly: Regular physical activity, including vigorous exercises like running or cycling, can lower the risk of breast cancer. Exercise helps with weight management and strengthens the immune system, potentially aiding in the body's defense against cancer cells. Starting slowly and gradually increasing exercise intensity is recommended, and it's important to consult a doctor before starting an exercise program.Limit Alcohol: The consumption of alcohol, including beer, wine, and liquor, increases the risk of breast cancer. Even small amounts of alcohol can elevate estrogen levels and cause DNA damage, which can lead to cancer. Therefore, minimizing alcohol intake is advised.Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess body weight, particularly after menopause, raises the likelihood of developing breast cancer and can contribute to its progression. Fat cells produce estrogen, which can aid in the formation and spread of cancer cells. Being overweight also increases the risk of other health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other types of cancer.This four-pronged approach reduces the risk of breast cancer and contributes to overall well-being by decreasing inflammation in the body and lowering the risk of diabetes and heart disease. It provides individuals with practical and effective strategies to take control of their health and reduce the risk of breast cancer.Support the showConnect with UsWebsite: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsInstagram: @healthylifestylesolutionsYouTube channel: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsSubscribe to our newsletter: Our NewsletterLeave us a message: Speak Pipe VoicemailRate Me: https://ratethispodcast.com/hls

Welcome to the third episode of The Blue Zones lifestyle series, focusing on the secrets of longevity and well-being observed in the Blue Zones. In this episode, we explore the crucial role of nutrition, specifically the plant slant and eating in moderation, in promoting a healthier and more fulfilling life. Blue Zones are regions worldwide where people live long, healthy lives without advanced chronic diseases.Key Points:Plant Slant and Predominantly Plant-Based Diets: The Blue Zones emphasize a plant-based diet, with people consuming various vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Studies link plant-based diets to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, as well as maintaining a healthy weight and supporting optimal gut health.Mindful Eating and the 80% Rule: Blue Zone communities practice mindful eating, savoring each bite and paying attention to the body's hunger signals and fullness. They follow the 80% rule, stopping eating when they feel 80% full, which promotes calorie control and avoids overeating. This practice aligns with the Japanese concept of "hara hachi bu," where individuals stop eating when satisfied but not overly full.Caloric Restriction and Longevity: Studies suggest that consuming fewer calories can extend lifespan and improve overall health. Caloric restriction triggers repair processes in the body, repairing aging cells, DNA, and proteins. It's important to note that caloric restriction should be approached after establishing a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle and developing a healthy relationship with food.About Dr. Rizwan H.

Welcome to today's podcast episode, where we will discuss health tips about carbohydrates. The topic of carbohydrates is often misunderstood, with many saying that they avoid carbs but not specifying whether they are referring to complex or refined carbohydrates. In this episode, we will look at the differences between the two, the health benefits of being on a whole foods plant-based diet, and address some common myths about carbohydrates. We will also refer to Dr. John McDougall's book, "The Starch Solution," which offers a comprehensive guide to the health benefits of a plant-based, high-starch diet. So, let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of carbohydrates.Key takeawaysThere is a lot of misinformation about carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates (starches) are found in whole plant foods, take longer to digest, and provide sustained energy and essential nutrients. Refined carbohydrates (sugars) are often found in processed foods, provide quick energy but little nutrition, and can lead to weight gain and health problems when consumed in excess.Dr. John McDougall debunks myths associated with carbohydrates, including that they cause weight gain, are not satisfying, and are not suitable for people with diabetes.​​ResourcesCheck out the blog on Carbohydrate Myths.Sign up to download Dr. Riz's new Cardiovascular Guide: https://bit.ly/JoinDrRiz. Follow my blog for additional resources related to this episode: Carbohydrates: The Confusing World DebunkedLeave me a voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/HLS.All the show notes for our episodes are located on our podcast website:https://www.healthylifestylesolutions.org/Support the showConnect with UsWebsite: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsInstagram: @healthylifestylesolutionsYouTube channel: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsSubscribe to our newsletter: Our NewsletterLeave us a message: Speak Pipe VoicemailRate Me: https://ratethispodcast.com/hls

Tune in to learn more about the overlap and differences between these two specialties.Key points:Cardiologists are medical specialists who treat diseases of the heart while vascular surgeons are surgical specialists who treat blood vessels of the body.Both specialties overlap in the treatment of atherosclerosis or plaque buildup inside the arteries but treat it in different parts of the body.Patients usually come to a vascular surgeon through referrals from other specialists.Resources mentioned in this episodeNorth Texas Vascular CenterDr. Riz's Guide to Preventing Atherosclerosis About Dr. Rizwan H.

In this interview, author and health enthusiast Steve Hendricks shares his personal experience with fasting and how it helped improve his neurological and psychiatric illnesses. He also discusses the history of fasting, its incorporation into religion and medicine, and the different types of fasting. Hendricks emphasizes the importance of medical supervision, especially for prolonged fasts, and explains the benefits of fasting for better health. He recommends starting small, gradually shrinking the eating window, and eating all food within six to eight hours in the morning and early afternoon for better nutrient processing.Key Points:Fasting can benefit health, but medical supervision is essential, especially for prolonged fasts. There are different types of fasting, including water fasting, intermittent fasting, and juicing. The timing of meals is important for overall health. About Steve HendricksSteve Hendricks is a freelance reporter and the author of two previous books, one of which, The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country, made several best-of-the-year lists. He has written for Harper’s, Outside, Slate, and the Washington Post. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife, a family law professor, and his dog, a border collie cross.The Oldest Cure in the World, published by Abrams Press, is about the history and science of fasting and my own experiences with the practice. The book grew out of a cover story I wrote for Harper’s a decade ago—a long gestation that I hope has yielded a more complete and livelier chronicle of fasting than has been told before. In addition to the North American and UK hardback, ebook, and audiobook, which were published in the fall of 2022, a Spanish edition will be published in May 2023, and a Bulgarian edition will follow.

The story begins in 2020 when she developed a  painful rash around her mouth and consulted a dermatologist. After several weeks of using medications without success, it turned out that her rash was due to an allergic reaction to one of her lip balms. Unfortunately, with such an extensive ingredient list, she could not pinpoint which ingredient was causing these embarrassing and painful sores. She began making her own plant-based lip balms with high-quality, minimal ingredients. Her skin cleared up! She continued experimenting and making other personal care products at home.  Her youngest sister got laid off, and she wanted to help. The combination of her holistic plant-based lifestyle, dental background, and drive to help create jobs is how Happi Hippo Plant Organics was born. Her intention for this business is to be a blessing to humans, animals, and the planet.

Meet Dennis Jones of Course Correction.After leaving the US Marines, Dennis’ health began to decline. His weight jumped to nearly 350 pounds, he developed high blood pressure and became diabetic. Despite becoming vegetarian and losing weight for about a year, the lack of structure and guidance led him back to his old ways. A few years later, he nearly suffered a heart attack and was told he needed a double stent or bypass surgery. Neither option was ideal, and Dennis faced taking medications and making a significant lifestyle change. One day, while looking for a healthy plant-based restaurant, he discovered GreenFare, an educational restaurant offering organic, whole food, plant-based meals. There, he saw a flyer for Barnard Medical Center and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and on the spot, he signed up for the 21-day challenge to improve his health outcomes.Having faced his own mortality, Dennis woke up to making drastic changes. He became a certified Food & Lifestyle Coach and Food for Life (FFL) Instructor and has not looked back since. Today, he teaches, coaches, and speaks about food because of a deep desire to improve people’s health and quality of life.

Peter Goldstein is on a mission to figure out how we can ignite curiosity in our friends and loved ones about the benefits of consuming a plant-based diet. In this episode, we talk about the mastermind group that he has created to find solutions as to how we can effectively spread the message about the plant-based lifestyle.His main initiatives are focused on supporting the Grassroots Ambassadors. These are the people who are already on board and have already started sharing the message. Also, he has created a scoreboard where you can chime in to share about how you have benefited from the plant-based lifestyle. Make sure to visit wedidit.health and chime in.Peter Goldstein is a former CEO of technology and software systems and a lifelong advocate of personal power and conscious business practices. Over the past ten years, he’s been tracking a mounting body of evidence that demonstrates that we can save as much as 75% of healthcare costs in the U.S. and eliminate the associated human pain and suffering by simply changing food based lifestyle. This is a savings of nearly $3 TRILLION / year or over 10% of our GDP and untold amounts of pain and suffering. As a new grandfather, the other startling statistic that inspires his work is the one that, for the first time in history, projects shorter life spans for children born today than those of their parents! Peter is dedicated to changing that calculation during his own tenure on the planet.Lifestyle Medicine Conference: lmconference.org Nov 7 - 10 _______________________________________________________________Visit Our Podcast Website: www.plantbaseddfwpodcast.com/➤YouTube channel: bit.ly/plantbaseddfw➤Tell us what you think of our show: bit.ly/pbdfwlistener➤Subscribe to our newsletter: bit.ly/PBDFWnewsletter➤We are on Audible/write a review: bit.ly/plantbaseddfwaudible➤You can support us: www.buymeacoffee.com/plantbaseddfwAbout Plant-Based DFW Podcast:Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas, and features guests from all over the world.

Dr. Scott Harrington returns to our podcast show for a second time. Finding the right Primary Care doctor can be difficult, no matter who you are. But when you’re a vegan, it can be even harder. That’s why Dr. Harrington created Vegan Primary Care. A telehealth practice licensed to help you in most US States, providing care from a vegan doctor’s perspective.As board-certified physicians, they provide many of the same services as any primary care doctor you see in-person – writing prescriptions, ordering imaging or lab tests and making referrals. But rather than rely only on the Western model of medicine, which manages chronic conditions with pills, they believe in plant-based care that seeks to achieve optimum health through a whole-foods plant-based diet, enjoyable exercise, and maintaining quality relationships.Dr. Harrington’s focus on individual treatment is evident in everything he does. He values the doctor-patient relationship and gets to know you personally. Initial appointments are 1 hour with 30-minute follow-ups so you never feel rushed.Why do you need a vegan doctor? Your current doctor may not know where you get your protein. They may not know the connection between nutrition and cardiovascular disease.Dr. Harrington is here to be your advocate. He mentions an app that you can use to track your daily meals. I looked it up and found one called Ate Food Diary + Habit Journal.Have you ever used a food diary/log? Or are you still battling certain health conditions despite making a change to a whole food plant-based diet?Head on over to our Instagram @plantbaseddfwpodcast and send me a message.

In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to rebroadcast a conversation Dr. Riz and I had with a local environmentalist. Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It is also a day to honor Earth and the concept of peace. This is a good day to reflect on the environmental impact of our daily choices. Environmental impact is defined by a change to the environment due to our actions. In the past environmentalist have encouraged us to recycle, to reduce single-use plastics such as water bottles, straws, and grocery bags.Today we know that animal agriculture is the greatest offender to climate change creating dead zones such as the one located in the Gulf of Mexico. Once we learned that the greatest offender to climate change is related to animal agriculture, Dr. Riz and I decided that we wanted to also contribute to this conversation. In this episode, we will discuss: the increased pollution of our streams, rivers, and coastal ocean*The decline in the availability of freshwater*The deforestation of the rain forest*Increases in greenhouse gas emissions*The decline in living marine resourcesI will have a video for this podcast in about a day.

Dr. Kristen Gialo completed medical school training at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She went on to complete residency training in Psychiatry at University of Maryland Medical Center and Sheppard Pratt Hospital. She was Executive Chief Resident during residency and then worked at Sheppard Pratt Hospital specializing in working with patients with psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders and developmental delays. She was a faculty member for the University of Maryland Medical Center Residency program and taught residents and medical students. She often worked with patients that not only had chronic mental illness but also chronic medical illnesses that plagued their everyday lives and served as an obstacle to their goals and happiness. There comes a point as a physician when you recognize that medications alone are not the answer and that health is so much more than just pills. Eighty percent of chronic medical illnesses in the United States are a result of lifestyle concerns such as diet, exercise, stress, lack of social connection, difficulty sleeping and substance use. As a result of this continued observation Dr. Gialo went on to become a Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician with the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. She is a RYT-200 certified yoga instructor as well as a Yoga Sculpt certified instructor. She incorporates her knowledge of yoga and mindfulness into her therapeutic practice.With her combined training in Psychiatry and Lifestyle Medicine, she is uniquely equipped to help individuals suffering from not only mental health concerns but also chronic medical illnesses.

Catharine Arnston is an expert in algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and sought after speaker. She has an MBA, BA Hons and is a Board Certified Health Coach, Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25-year corporate career to help her sister identify which foods were alkaline and this led her to algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born. Catharine has spent the last ten years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 150+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she read thousands of scientific papers that detailed, validated, and confirmed algae's nutritional, health, longevity, and global benefits. Remarkably none of these findings are known by consumers. It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and while she is not a Ph.D., her scientific fluency allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need. Catharine's passion for algae is contagious, inspiring and thought-provoking. Her efforts have led to algae being better understood by educators, consumers, doctors, and wellness practitioners. Even the United Nations and NASA endorse algae as the most nutrient-dense food in the world and the answer to world hunger. Catharine's extensive knowledge and playful personality is both entertaining and educating and her speaking style leaves audiences informed, uplifted, and hopeful.

Meet Alan Twigg, a 55 year old English man who lives in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. He lives with his beautiful German wife. They have two children in Germany and two in the UK. He speaks English, German and Spanish. He also dances Tango and organizes Tango events on the island. He practices yoga and meditation daily as well. And in this episode, we will be talking about all of that and more including his book titled, and suddenly everything changed. We will talk about the inspiration behind that book and how Alan became plant based himself. Alan was also inspired to write his book because of his own father's heart disease. The objective of the story is to reveal the hidden unhealthy truths about the typical Western diet, about animal agriculture, the impacts of dietary choices on the environment, and ultimately to encourage and motivate everyday people to consider veganism. On his journey, the character Peter meets intriguing characters. Each of these have their own individual story that they share and all are based on people that Alan knew or heard about. We will also learn about Alan's online course titled Plant Based Heroes. We will learn about his yoga, his Tango, how he enjoys meditation. And we will finally talk about the differences that we see in Spain, the UK and Germany when it comes to plant based eating. I hope you enjoyed this episode.Website: https://alantwigg.org/Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MPr1J5Audible: https://adbl.co/3biCNVBSupport the showConnect with UsWebsite: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsInstagram: @healthylifestylesolutionsYouTube channel: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsSubscribe to our newsletter: Our NewsletterLeave us a message: Speak Pipe VoicemailRate Me: https://ratethispodcast.com/hls

For years, Dr. Suzannah Bozzone was prescribing medicine which she herself would not have taken. She grew frustrated by the seemingly incurable state of our most prevalent, deadly and costly chronic diseases. Then she found Lifestyle Medicine, which is not only strongly evidence-based, but resonated with her desire to treat herself, her family and her patients more in accordance with nature’s guidance and, most importantly, addressing diseases from their root causes, rather than covering up symptoms. Best of all, this method empowers patients, rather than dictating dependence on our pharmaceutically-driven medical system.Dr. Bozzone completed training as a yoga teacher in 2009. In 2017, she became a diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Bozzone shares with us her path towards discovering lifestyle medicine. We learn about her community-based programs which are focused on diet, exercise, sleep, emotional health and stress management to achieve optimal health. She is the co-founder of True Health Journey. The next Plant Based Nutrition Kickstart 101 begins as this episode is being released, March 3. This is a virtual 8 sessions series. Dr. Bozzone tells us about the kickstart program and what it entails. It includes the foundations of balanced plant based nutrition, recipes, the science and comparison to other common diet beliefs, the how to, and plenty of fun discussion with herself and her business partner certified health coach and registered nurse Christine Smith. Finally, Dr. Bozzone will give us a couple of tips for starting a healthier lifestyle.Contact Dr. Suzannah Bozzone:Website: www.mytruehealthjourney.comSocial Media: (FB, Insta, and Youtube) @mytruehealthjourneyEmail: mytruehealthjourney@gmail.comWhole Food Plant Based Kickstart 101: (Foundations of health optimizing plant-based nutrition) is March 3-29th, 2021, virtual and videos available x 3mo.Whole Food Plant Based Kickstart 201:(Food as Medicine) is April 14-May 10th virtualhttps://www.mytruehealthjourney.com/new-events/2021/3/3/plant-based-kickstart-101-seriesLucy Cate and the Yummy Rainbow Book: https://www.amazon.com/Yummy-Rainbow-Daniella-Suzannah-Bozzone/dp/1695986369Support the showConnect with UsWebsite: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsInstagram: @healthylifestylesolutionsYouTube channel: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsSubscribe to our newsletter: Our NewsletterLeave us a message: Speak Pipe VoicemailRate Me: https://ratethispodcast.com/hls

Walk with a Doc was started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio. Frustrated with his inability to affect behavior change in the clinical setting, Dr. Sabgir invited his patients to go for a walk with him at a local park on a spring Saturday morning. To his surprise, over 100 people showed up, energized and ready to move.Since that first event in 2005, Walk with a Doc has grown as a grassroots effort with a model based on sustainability and simplicity. A doctor gives a brief presentation on a health topic and then leads participants on a walk at their own pace. Walk with a Doc now extends all around the globe with over 500 chapters worldwide, including Walk with a Future Doc chapters led by medical students!In honor of Heart Health Month, Walk With A Doc partnered with Fresh Avocados – Love One Today® to show our hearts some love! Along with the app Racery, Walk with A Doc created a virtual adventure along the Grand Canyon encouraging people to form teams and to promote movement such as walking, swimming, housework, etc. You may have heard us talk about this exciting adventure will is currently going on and will conclude on February 26. We were excited to have Dr. Sabgir on the show since Dr. Riz leads one of the Dallas chapters. We will resume our walks within a couple of months and will make sure to share more information once we are ready. In the meantime, we formed about 5 teams to encourage friends from all over the country to be active in their environment. If you were in the Grand Canyon Adventure, please send us an email and tell us about your experience. What sort of work outs did you do?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sabgir to hear his story of how he founded Walk With A Doc. We will talk about the health benefits of walking regularly. Since Dr. Sabgir is a cardiologist we asked questions that some of you submitted on topics such as stents, statins, HDL, LDL, and finally Dr. Sabgir also offers us his acronym with additional tips to keep our hearts healthy.You can help support the organization by visiting their website and purchasing gear at walkwithadoc.orgVisit Our Podcast Website: https://www.plantbaseddfwpodcast.com/➤iTunes: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiTunes➤SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/PBDFWSoundCloud➤iHeart Radio: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiHeartradioAbout Plant-Based DFW Podcast:Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas and features guests from all over the world.

In our work, we often hear of people with GI issues ranging from gluten intolerance to Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and IBD issues.

I just finished organizing my entire home and I even decluttered my kitchen. Last year I cooked regularly and even wrote down in my calendar the meals that I was cooking daily. This year I organized all my staple legumes, grains and other ingredients in a more efficient way so that I can continue to cook my favorites. This leads me to today’s guest. Stephanie Dreyer is a plant-based lifestyle expert, a mom of three, the author of two children’s books, an influencer and has been featured on @vegnews @worldofvegan. She is also the creator of the @batchcookingclub . Stephanie is on a mission to get more families to eat healthier and to get them back into the kitchen. She wants every child in the world to have access to an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables daily and to enjoy eating them! In this episode, we dive deeper into the importance of batch cooking and the effective system that Stephanie developed. We are not talking about cooking one large meal for the week that you will portion off. We are not talking about cooking all your meals in one day. She has a unique approach that allows you to prep for the week while only spending 2-3 hours on a Saturday. One of the reasons many people give up on any one diet is because of the lack proper prepping and planning._______________________Recommended videos:*Stephanie Dreyer on going vegan: https://youtu.be/aFUkal9WgYA*Watch their YouTube trailer: https://youtu.be/JaDpVUAtQzM*Grow Your Own Food: https://bit.ly/growwithdrriz___________________________________________________________Visit Our Podcast Website: www.plantbaseddfwpodcast.com/About Plant-Based DFW Podcast:Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas and features guests from all over the world.

Early last year I had a conversation with Dr. Palmer Mackie about his 5-week Integrative Pain School program that he had developed and improved over the course of 19 years. As you will hear, he is board certified in lifestyle medicine and incorporates those modalities to help his patients move away from opioids towards a program that offers lasting and drug free results. Dr. Mackie added another component to his program called Ikigai. This is the Japanese world for having a sense of purpose. Dan Buettner’s work on The Blue Zones also found that having a sense of purpose was a common characteristic found in the longest lived people of these regions. I reached out to Dr. Mackie recently to see how he was doing. He is now working at Oak Street Health where he will be launching a Pain Program for their 4 health centers. As you listen to his conversation, I would like you to see if finding a sense of purpose and incorporating more movement into your life will help make 2021 more manageable. It seems like we will have more of the same virtual experience this year. When we speak of pain we are not just referring to physical pain.

Meet Dr. Jessica Pearce from Dallas, Texas. She is an OBGYN as well as a podcaster. We will talk talk about how she works closely with her patients in getting them to optimal health if they want to some day become parents. We touch on breast cancer, concerns about consuming soy, endometrial cancer, insulin resistance, PCOS and the importance of mental health. This year she was set to open her own med spa and then COVID happened. As a result she was able to focus on her other passion which is to create a safe place for topics that would otherwise be considered taboo. She has created a FB group, an IG account and a podcast all with the name Ludicrous uterus. The first 5 minutes of our conversation we touch on some of those taboo topics such as defining the word binary, speaking about the transgender community and how terms in general can cause people to feel excluded. https://www.theludicrousuterus.org/new-pagehttps://www.theludicrousuterus.org/_______________________________________________________________Visit Our Podcast Website: www.plantbaseddfwpodcast.com/➤iTunes: bit.ly/PBDFWiTunes➤SoundCloud: bit.ly/PBDFWSoundCloud➤iHeart Radio: bit.ly/PBDFWiHeartradioAbout Plant-Based DFW Podcast:Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas and features guests from all over the world.

Marina Yanay-Triner is back with us again. If you missed my first interview with Marina, you can visit episode #83 to hear her story of how she became a plant-based health coach. This time we talk about the year 2020 and the tools that allowed us to shift our focus from fear to going within and growing as individuals. This year, Marina discovered that she is an empath and has shifted her practice from health coaching to transformational life coaching. Empaths can feel and absorb other people’s emotions and energy. We can feel overwhelmed and drained as a result. Therefore, Marina is here to talk to us about self-care, setting boundaries and taking time for ourselves. And if you are an empath, please let me know in the comments below.You can learn more about Marina Yanay-Triner:www.soulintheraw.comhttps://www.instagram.com/soulintheraw/_______________________________________________________________Visit Our Podcast Website: www.plantbaseddfwpodcast.com/➤iTunes: bit.ly/PBDFWiTunes➤SoundCloud: bit.ly/PBDFWSoundCloud➤iHeart Radio: bit.ly/PBDFWiHeartradioAbout Plant-Based DFW Podcast:Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas and features guests from all over the world.

Dr. Scott Harrington is the founder of Vegan Primary Care, an online family medicine practice. He is now licensed in 42 states including Texas. So make sure to listen to the entire episode to learn how you can get started as a patient. In this episode, we learn Dr. Harrington's personal story of why he became vegan and why he now prescribes plant-based foods to his patients. He also tells us about his Meal Planner which extends "Meatless Mondays" to everyday of the week: https://www.dietnosis.com/vegan-meal-planner/Vegan Primary Care is the creation of Dr. Scott Harrington, a board-certified Family Physician with 17 years of experience in Family Medicine. Beginning his career using standard methods, he personally adopted a plant-based diet in 2012. Since then he experienced dramatic improvement in his energy levels, exercise endurance and recovery time. His weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels all normalized. This convinced Dr. Harrington to focus on teaching patients what he learned, and the effects were impressive – many patients suffering with chronic illnesses improved dramatically, and many were able to stop all their medications."As board-certified physicians, we provide many of the same services as any primary care doctor you see in person – writing prescriptions, ordering imaging or lab tests, and making referrals. But rather than rely only on the Western model of medicine, which manages chronic conditions with pills, we believe in plant-based care that seeks to achieve optimum health through a whole-foods plant-based diet, enjoyable exercise and maintaining quality relationships."https://www.veganprimarycare.com/Hope you enjoy this episode._______________________________________LISTEN/SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST:You can also listen on:➤iTunes: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiTunes➤SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/PBDFWSoundCloud➤Website: https://plantbaseddfw.com/podcast➤YouTube: https://bit.ly/plantbaseddfw➤iHeart Radio: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiHeartradio➤Amazon Music: http://bit.ly/PBDFWAmazon➤Stitcher: http://bit.ly/PBDFWStitcher➤Spotify: http://bit.ly/PBDFWSpotifyAbout Plant-Based DFW Podcast:________________________________Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas and features guests from all over the world.

Three years ago, Paul Lowell was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. During routine visits his PSA level went from 1.1 - 87 within a 6 month period.By the time he was diagnosed, the cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes & bones. His oncologist basically felt that chemotherapy & radiation would only make him worse. So he sent Paul home to make arrangements and gave him 18 -31 months to live. Paul is “9 months expired” as he likes to brag that he is still living. He adopted a plant-based diet after Dr. Riz told him about the power of plant-based foods.

This is such a valuable lecture that I wanted to share it with our listeners. This is with Dr. Eriksen's permission. Dr. Nancy Eriksen speaks on the impact of nutrition/lifestyle factors on: *hormonal health*osteoporosis*breast cancer riskYou will learn about lifestyle strategies you can implement to optimize your health during menopause. As well as the impact of a whole food plant based diet and how it can enhance your hormonal health, prevent osteoporosis and breast cancer."Nutrition can impact the symptoms of menopause, which are vasomotor symptoms including hot flashes and night sweats. There are central symptoms including insomnia, mood changes, brain fog, and urogenital symptoms such as vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. Vasomotor symptoms are common in women with hot flashes occurring in nearly 80% of women in the West in the US and Europe, as compared to relatively few of Asian women. In fact, in the Japanese language, there isn't even a word for hot flashes because they rarely get them. And the median duration of symptoms is about 10 years. Vasomotor symptoms happen to be the most common reason for sleep irregularities, which is why women are so motivated to not have them.""Heart disease is still the number one killer of women followed by cancer. So that means nearly 40% of all deaths in women are one of these two. Menopause represents an opportune time then to think about lifestyle changes, not only to help you during menopause, but also in the bigger picture to reduce the risk or reverse multiple chronic diseases." Dr. Nancy Louise Eriksen graduated with a B.S. in Biology from The University of Miami in Miami, Florida in 1981, and an M.D degree from Wright State University School of Medicine in 1985. Dr. Eriksen completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Wright State University affiliated hospital in 1989 and then a fellowship in maternal Fetal Medicine at The University of Houston Health Sciences Center in 1991. She is currently an Associate Professor in Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. In the last few years she has developed an interest in Lifestyle Medicine and just passed her board exam in lifestyle medicine. nancy.eriksen@bcm.edu__________________________________________________________You can also listen on:➤Website: www.plantbaseddfw.com/podcast➤YouTube: https://bit.ly/plantbaseddfw➤iTunes: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiTunes➤iHeart Radio: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiHeartradio➤Stitcher: http://bit.ly/PBDFWStitcher➤Spotify: http://bit.ly/PBDFWSpotify➤Google: http://bit.ly/PBDFWGoogle_____________________________________________________________➤ Subscribe on YouTube : https://bit.ly/plantbaseddfw➤ Subscribe to our Newsletter : https://bit.ly/drrizguide➤ Visit our website : https://plantbaseddfw.com/➤ Follow on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/dr_riz_bukhari/➤ Follow on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/DrRizBukhari/➤ Subscribe to our Podcast: https://apple.co/30rn7Kt➤ Join our private Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/FBplantbaseddfwSupport the showConnect with UsWebsite: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsInstagram: @healthylifestylesolutionsYouTube channel: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsSubscribe to our newsletter: Our NewsletterLeave us a message: Speak Pipe VoicemailRate Me: https://ratethispodcast.com/hls

Dr. Sabgir invited his patients to go for a walk with him in a local park on a spring Saturday morning. To his surprise, over 100 people showed up, energized and ready to move.Since that first event in 2005, Walk with a Doc has grown as a grassroots effort, with a model based on sustainability and simplicity. A doctor gives a brief presentation on a health topic and then leads participants on a walk at their own pace. Walk with a Doc now extends all around the globe with over 500 chapters worldwide, including Walk with a Future Doc chapters led by medical students!Our first official walk was not well attended. As a matter of fact, a heavy storm rolled into the city right before we began our walk. We quickly made the decision to walk at Northpark mall. But it looked like Dr. Riz and I would be the only ones walking. Then walk in Pat & Dianne Doyle along with Dr. Catherine Gordon and her daughter who went out of their way to show support.Our following walk was at a local farmer’s market. While we enjoyed ending the walk at the market, we did not like putting people at risk by crossing streets and walking on pavement. Our final location ended being within the Village. final destination for our now monthly walks is found within The Village. The walking trail is a mile long, very scenic and full of ducks, squirrels and lots of birds. “This is a community that’s awake, alive and inspiring with activity—where residents are up early or unwinding after work with a walk, a run, and where you can always find the beauty of nature and the training partner or workout solitude you seek.”Did you know that in just a few short months we’ve had a total of 53 individuals join us? Our next walk will be on January 18 at 10 a.m. visit our plantbaseddfw.com for information on our walks and other events.
