Podcasts about food as medicine

"Can I come home with you?" It's not a question you'd expect from a nutritionist, but it's the one that launched an entirely new profession.This month on the ANMA Podcast, we sit down with Anne Masri, founder of MediChefs, whose own health crisis 30 years ago set her on a path she never saw coming. What she discovered along the way exposed a blind spot in nearly every wellness practice — and her answer to it has physicians, patients, and chefs lining up.Anne Masri is a board certified nutritional chef and nutritional consultant. She is the founder of MediChefs, a private cheffing service that uses nutritional therapy to prevent and reverse disease. MediChefs bridges the gap between diagnosis and food on the table. Anne, like many in the health and wellness space, found an answer to her own health challenges through integrative health practices. She has been walking the talk for 30+ years and is helping others reach their optimal health with years of curated wisdom.Tune in to hear:The moment Anne realized why even the most motivated clients fail to follow their eating plans — and what she did about itHow chefs, caregivers, and home cooks are turning a passion for food into a credentialed career in health and wellnessAnne's simplest tip for using food more intentionally, starting with your very next mealPlus, this month's Practice Pointer: the one set of documents every natural health practitioner should review right now — and the questions to ask when you do.Connect with MediChefs:Website: medichefs.comAbout Anne & the MediChefs philosophy: medichefs.com/about-usBoard Certification Program: medichefs.com/become-a-medichefHire a MediChef: medichefs.com/contactPhone: (833) MED-CHEFEmail: info@medichefs.comANMA 45th Annual Convention & Educational SeminarAugust 28–30, 2026 — Westgate Las Vegas Resort & CasinoJoin the natural health community for education, connection, and professional growth.

Immune Regulation, Omega-3 Nuance, and Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat with Dr. Austin Perlmutter, chief science officer of Big Bold Health. He details immune regulation as a nuanced, multidimensional system shaped by diet and lifestyle rather than simple “boosting.” Perlmutter explains Big Bold Health's focus on immunometabolism, educating about immune complexity, and conducting studies on nutraceuticals, including use of CGMs and clinical trials. He discusses why eating fish often outperforms refined fish-oil supplements, noting conventional processing (heat, bleaching, deodorizing, esterification) and loss of other lipids and nutrients. Perlmutter highlights specialized pro-resolving mediators (resolvins, protectins, maresins) and vitamins A and D as potentially better preserved in minimally processed oils, and reviews typical omega-3 intake and target ranges. The conversation also covers immunosenescence/inflammaging and Big Bold Health research on sprouted Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, its high polyphenols (rutin, quercetin), microbiome effects, and studies including epigenetic aging clocks and brain outcomes.

They discuss dietary treatment of autoimmune diseases, critique high-tech Zoomer panels, and warn against routine dental x-rays and supplement marketing tactics. #AutoimmuneDiet #SupplementSkepticism #DiagnosticOverload #HealthTalks

Sixty percent of Medicare's mental health workforce is made up of clinical social workers — and they're being reimbursed at 75 cents on the dollar compared to clinical psychologists. That's not a footnote. That's a workforce crisis hiding in plain sight. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmy Williamson — social worker, NASW Vice President, and seasoned Capitol Hill advocate — for one of the most practical, non-partisan conversations about politics and healthcare you'll hear anywhere. Jimmy just returned from a full day of lobbying on the Hill, and he breaks down exactly what that looks like, what's at stake, and why every healthcare employee — not just the C-suite — has a role to play. You'll hear: Why clinical social workers are fighting to move their Medicare reimbursement rate from 75% to 85% — and how it would actually save Medicare $420 million How the Department of Education's reclassification of nursing and social work is quietly capping the next generation's borrowing limits and shrinking the workforce pipeline The Farm Bill's Hot Foods Act and why a working single mother's ability to buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store is a healthcare issue Why politicians want to hear from constituents — and how to get your voice in front of the right people without spending hours doing it The first move anyone can make this week to stop being a bystander and start being a citizen This episode won't make you angry. It'll make you want to make a phone call. www.YourHealth.Org

At 20, Tracy Thurman was told she'd never work again. Disabled, written off, handed a lifetime sentence by the same system that put her there. The doctors had a word for what happened to her: bad luck. They were wrong. And what finally brought her back was something the government will send armed agents to seize. This isn't a conversation for people who are comfortable. It's for the ones who already feel that something is off — that the sickness around us isn't an accident, and the people selling the cure keep ending up in court.And stay to the end. Because what starts as one woman's story becomes something bigger: the reveal of where this show is going next, and who's coming with it.

What happens when a world-famous chef starts questioning the food system, modern wellness culture, and the way we've been taught to think about health?   In this rerun episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with Australian chef, author, and wellness advocate Pete Evans for a conversation that goes far beyond recipes and nutrition trends. Pete shares how his journey from professional surfer to celebrity chef eventually led him toward a deeper exploration of healing, intentional living, and the emotional connection people have with food.   The discussion dives into the power of real, minimally processed ingredients, the importance of reconnecting with cooking at home, and why food may play a larger role in overall wellness than many people realize. Pete also reflects on the cultural and spiritual side of eating — from slowing down and sharing meals to questioning the systems that shape modern health advice.   This episode is less about rigid diet rules and more about curiosity, awareness, and reclaiming a healthier relationship with what we put into our bodies.   In This Episode Pete Evans' evolution from celebrity chef to wellness advocate Why real food and cooking at home matter more than ever The connection between food, community, and emotional well-being How modern lifestyles may be disconnecting people from health The role of intentional living and mindful eating Why questioning mainstream narratives became part of Pete's journey Thoughts on healing, simplicity, and returning to foundational habits   About Pete Evans Pete Evans is an Australian chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality known for his focus on whole foods, wellness, and lifestyle-centered health approaches.

Whether you agree, disagree, or land somewhere in the middle, BS Free MD invites listeners into thoughtful dialogue without the corporate filter. Listen & Follow BS Free MD

In this week's episode, we'll discuss the statement “food as medicine” within the scope of Medical Nutrition Therapy. Now more than ever, we see claims that specific foods can heal disease and prevent diseases. But sometimes these claims can cause confusion and harm to the individual. If you've ever wondered if food can take the place of medicine, this episode is for you! This week's recipe is Cinnamon Roll Protein Bars. Schedule a visit today at www.bodymetrixhealth.com.

A packed school gym, 250 tickets, and nearly thirteen thousand dollars raised set the stage for a bigger conversation: how everyday food choices can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. We share what actually matters for prevention, cutting through hype to focus on the patterns that quietly shape your health over decades.We unpack how atherosclerosis builds, cholesterol-rich particles slipping into artery walls, inflammation mounting, plaques narrowing flow, and why that “plumbing” model explains angina, heart attacks, TIAs, and strokes.Then we translate the science into action: the Portfolio diet's LDL-lowering power, the DASH diet's blood pressure wins, and the shared core of effective eating styles. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds do the heavy lifting; fermented or lower fat dairy can fit if used thoughtfully; saturated fat stays low, especially if you already have cardiovascular disease.We also get candid about cancer risk. Processed meat is a group 1 carcinogen, red meat raises risk at modest doses, and high-heat cooking can create harmful compounds. The antidote is not perfection, it's proportion. We show how to build “super plates” instead of chasing superfoods, why legumes and nuts are reliable anchors, and how to plan a plant-forward pattern that works with your real life. That includes making room for protein powders or fortified shakes when you need convenience, recovery support, or higher protein without force-feeding endless tofu or beans.If you want practical, sustainable steps that move your numbers and protect your future, this conversation gives you the blueprint: more fiber, fewer saturated fats, fewer ultra-processed calories, and meals you actually want to repeat.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health, is described as the “godfather of functional medicine.” He details the origins of functional medicine as a systems-biology, root-cause approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, and supplements alongside conventional allopathic care, especially for chronic disease. Bland contrasts medication “number needed to treat” examples (statins and TNF-alpha blockers) with personalized lifestyle interventions, noting adherence challenges. He discusses GLP-1 weight-loss drugs as a major pharmacologic advance but raises concerns about long-term effects, discontinuation rates, side effects, and inadequate nutrition if food intake drops. Bland describes research on bitter compounds and gut “taste” receptors influencing GLP-1 and related hormones, links to Blue Zone diets, and introduces Big Bold Health's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and minimally processed, sustainably sourced fish oil products, the Omega-3 index, and targeted formulations with lutein/astaxanthin, plus ongoing clinical trials on immune aging and gene expression.

Up North India, near the city of Dehradun, Chef Rajesh is reinventing the world of food and hospitality. 

What does it actually take to transform the way the world thinks about food as a driver of health? Kim Fisher has spent years finding out — as an entrepreneur, a startup mentor, a UC Davis program director, and now as Chief Impact Officer of StartUp Health’s Food as Medicine Moonshot. In this episode, Unity Stoakes and Kim go deep on the science, the market dynamics, and the human stories behind one of health innovation’s most complex and consequential frontiers. They explore the molecular science quietly reshaping how we understand food, why the GLP-1 moment may be the catalyst the industry has been waiting for, and how precision nutrition could soon mean personalized meals calibrated to your individual biology. Kim also opens up about the personal journey that brought her here — her daughter’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and the hospital conversation that made her realize just how far the healthcare system still had to go in treating food as medicine. That moment set the course for everything that followed. Listeners will come away with a clearer map of where the field is headed, what kinds of innovation are most needed, and how a new angel investment network is working to close the funding gap for early-stage food and health companies. If you’re a founder, investor, researcher, or policymaker working anywhere near food, metabolic health, or longevity — this conversation will sharpen your thinking.   Are you ready to tell YOUR story? Members of our Health Moonshot Communities are leading startups with breakthrough technology-driven solutions for the world's biggest health challenges.

In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, Dr. Sharon Bergquist — physician, author of the Plantology cookbook, host of The Whole Health Cure podcast, and lifestyle medicine expert at Emory University School of Medicine — joins for an episode on food as medicine and chronobiology. Dr. Bergquist unpacks the science of when we eat, not just what we eat, explaining how meal timing shapes our circadian biology, metabolic health, and disease risk; she makes the case for front-loading calories earlier in the day, and rethinking "healthy" foods like farmed salmon, avocado, and eggs with more nuance. The conversation covers soil quality and dietary diversity, the gut microbiome, protein needs across the lifespan, the community and mindfulness dimensions of eating, and practical take-homes for anyone looking to leverage food as one of our most powerful tools for prevention and longevity.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC).

Herbal Medicine, Quality Control, and Adulteration Prevention: Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC), recounts his entry into herbalism via vegetarianism in 1968, off-grid living, and starting a wholesale herb business in 1974 before shifting to nonprofit education, research, advocacy, and quality control. The discussion covers the evolution from teas and tinctures to standardized extracts, the complexity and synergy of multiple constituents, and how standardization supports quality control and therapeutic consistency. Blumenthal explains ABC's Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program and its free, peer-reviewed resources addressing global fraud, plus GMP requirements and laboratory methods for identity, contamination, and potency testing. He discusses herbs including ashwagandha, turmeric/curcumin and adulteration risks, maca, nigella, and milk thistle, and outlines ABC resources, HerbClip, and membership options at herbalgram.org.

Carbon is life, not the enemy. And in this wide-ranging conversation with the legend that is Paul Hawken, we get into all of it. Paul is an activist, entrepreneur with Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration and prolific writer who started a natural food brand back in the 1970s. We trace his journey through writing Drawdown, Regeneration, and Carbon: The Book of Life and why people loved Drawdown so much even though that was never really the point. Regeneration got closer to the core. And Carbon is chuck-full of nuggets of wisdom about the magical, magnificent role carbon plays in our lives. Yes, there's too much of it in the atmosphere, but there are also many places it can go, quickly and safely.We talk about his work with large food companies, and the pure joy of bringing top executives to real regenerative farms and watching the lightbulbs go off, followed immediately by the panic of realising just how far their current supply chains are from anything like that. We get into food as medicine, and how furious Paul was with the healthcare and food system after he cured his lifelong asthma at 18 simply by changing what he ate. He had never taken a full breath of air until that moment. And we talk about his genuine excitement about the new generation of scientists coming up.One advice: just go outside for as long as possible, and listen to this episode somewhere beautiful and alive.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Food as medicine is having a moment, but for leaders like Richard Bennett of Epicured and Victor Penev of Edamam, this is not a passing trend. It is the long-building future of healthcare. In this special highlight episode of StartUp Health NOW, Unity Stoakes brings together two conversations from members of the StartUp Health community on the growing role of nutrition in prevention, chronic disease management, and whole-person care. First, Richard Bennett, CEO & Co-founder of Epicured, joins Logan Plaster to talk about why food is emerging as a powerful front door to trust, engagement, and better outcomes. He shares how Epicured is helping bridge healthcare and nutrition, why reimbursement is a game changer, and how culturally relevant meals can support more human-centered care. Then, Unity sits down with Victor Penev, CEO & Founder of Edamam, to explore how AI and food data are reshaping what personalized nutrition can look like. From meal-planning agents to virtual nutrition support, Victor explains why this moment feels like an inflection point for the Food as Medicine movement, and why data remains the foundation for what comes next. Together, these conversations highlight a major shift in healthcare: food is no longer peripheral to care. It is increasingly central to prevention, treatment, and the future of personalized health.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. William Li — internal medicine physician, vascular biologist, and founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation — to talk about something we were never really taught in medical school: how specific foods work at a molecular level to prevent and even fight disease. We get into the science behind everyday foods like black coffee, soy, eggs, and oats — cutting through the myths and the fear-based messaging that has, frankly, done a lot of harm. Will walks us through why soy does not cause breast cancer (and may actually protect against it), why egg quality matters more than cholesterol fear, and what his lab's recent research on oats and wound healing reveals about the untapped potential of whole foods.  00:00 Introduction to Dr. William Li and Angiogenesis 01:06 The Role of Food in Health and Disease 02:36 Debunking Myths: Soy and Breast Cancer 07:30 The Importance of Nutrition Education in Medicine 09:58 The Truth About Eggs and Their Health Benefits 13:21 Recent Discoveries: Oats and Their Bioactive Properties 15:29 Innovative Wound Healing with Avananthramide 17:10 The Role of Diet in Cancer Treatment 17:56 Communicating Science to the Public 21:53 Empowering Patients Through Knowledge 24:00 Exploring Everyday Remedies: Coffee and Wound Healing 25:45 OuttroVVP.mp3 26:22 NEWCHAPTER Wish to help the show?
