MINOT — When you go into the voting booth on election day you have on hand a ballot that has a bunch of names on it. How do those names get there? Most of them are the nominated candidate of one party or another, but if you're an independent, there's a process you have to go through before you can be an option on election day. On this episode of Plain Talk, a Jamestown volunteer by the name of Christian Cairy joined co-host Ben Handon and me to discuss his efforts to get independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on North Dakota's statewide ballot. Cairy said his group, People 4 Kennedy, can begin collecting signatures in January, and have to get 4,000 turned in by September. Those interested in volunteering can email people4kennedynd@gmail.com. Also on this episode, Fargo-based defense Tanya Martinez talks about the Ian Cramer case. Cramer, the son of U.S. Sentator Kevin Cramer, led police on a high-speed chase that resulted in the death of a Mercer County deputy. Some social media commentators have suggested that Ian Cramer may get special treatment because of who his dad is. Martinez says she's seen no evidence in that case. She also answered questions about the charges he's facing, and what the process will look like going forward.

Hello again, and thank you for listening to the podcast that is dedicated to making you healthier and expanding your world view within the realm of Nutrition science, this is The Ian Cramer Podcast and I am your host, Ian Cramer. In this time of the Corona Virus, some of us feel helpless. It feels like we're stuck inside, we have to isolate, and can't help people who may need help. If you want to do something, and you don't have the skills to sew facemasks, you can Donate Blood. Patient with corona virus probably don't need blood transfusions, but because of what's happening and people isolating, there is a critical blood shortage. If you haven't donated before, that's OK. If you're a seasoned donator, great! Go to RedCross.org and click on “Give Blood” at the top of the page. It's just a good thing to do, and makes you feel good afterwards. This week, in Episode #93, I am joined by Dr. Jonathon McPhetres, PhD. Jon is a post doctoral research fellow at MIT and the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. A large part of his research as a professor of psychology focuses on science literacy, understanding why some may reject science, skepticism surrounding GMO's, why people fall for misinformation. In our discussion, we focus on GMO's. There is a lot of concern and fear surrounding GMO's, especially within the health and nutrition space. Is this warranted? Are there legitimate harms associated with GMO's? We start out with what are GMO's, What are real life examples of GM Foods, the regulatory process and the safety of these foods and How Jon's perspective has changes on this subject over time. We also cover the study he authored, entitled “Modifying attitudes about modified foods: Increased knowledge leads to more positive attitudes”, and end by talking about why people sometimes reject science. Having found Jon by accident, this was a very pleasant discussion, I really enjoyed it, and learned from Jon's perspective. I will post links to Jon's website and his study in the show notes. And without further delay, please enjoy my conversation on Episode #93, with Post Doctoral Fellow and Professor of Psychology, Dr. Jonathan McPhetress. https://neurosciencenews.com/gmo-science-14107/ Would you eat genetically modified food if you understood the science behind it? Link to Study: https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0272494419301045 Modifying attitudes about modified foods: Increased knowledge leads to more positive attitudes I'm curious about whether you went into this discussion with a position on GMO's, whether harmful or harmless or perhaps indifferent. And if that position changed? I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Jon, and if you did and you think others around you would benefit from this, tell others around you about it, whether through word of mouth or social media. And make sure to use the hashtag #IanCramerPodcast and/or tag me directly, and I'll be sure to share your post or retweet it to my audience. I appreciate it.  You can reach out to Jon directly on Twitter @JonMcPhetres, and you can also read his study linked in the show notes.

Hello, I am Ian Cramer and welcome to my podcast where I speak to doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine. Lifestyle medicine is a branch of medicine where your chronic disease or ailment is treated and often times reversed with diet and lifestyle. If diet and lifestyle causes the chronic disease, it can likely be reversed with diet and lifestyle change, rather than prescriptions that mask symptoms or procedures that don't address the root cause. In episode 90, I am speaking with Dr. Bonnie Coyle. She is the Chairman of Community Health and Preventive Medicine at St. Luke's University Health Network. I met her at the Lehigh Valley Vegfest in Tatamy, Pennsylvania. I reached out to Bonnie through previous podcast guest and organizer of the Lehigh Valley VegFest Meghan Grega. This is one of the rare instances these days where I got to use my portable equipment and we had an in-person discussion, which listening to it in post-production had a different, more intimate feel. Given the choice, I would make all of my conversations in person because of better sound quality, more personal, more emotions, more social ques. They're just better. Someday. In our discussion, we speak about: What got her into Lifestyle Medicine- I'm sure her story is very relatable with many listeners out there. We address lifestyle and Preventative medicine juxtaposed to the modern medical paradigm and the work arounds for physicians and medical professionals out there who want to implement more of these preventative tactics and who still want to make a career out of it. Because Bonnie's territory spans both rural and urban in the Lehigh Valley, we speak about what differences she sees in those patient populations both from a perspective of specific diseases and their etiology and interventions to those problems. One of the only chronic ailments we speak about is High Blood Pressure, Standards and how it's a symptom that often flies under the radar. Bonnie's take on the Ketogenic diet- Devil's Advocate. The role epidemiology plays in Bonnie's decisions and a common devil's advocate question about Nutritional Epi. Shift gears into speaking about Opioids and their prevalence in her area. Universal Healthcare or Medicare for All. Bonnie as the next Surgeon General- End with something Bonnie has changed her mind on recently. Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy my conversation, on Episode #90, with Physician Dr. Bonnie Coyle.      

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Ian Cramer Podcast. I am the host Ian Cramer, and I strive to fill this podcast with thought leaders within the realm of lifestyle medicine. Allied Health Care professionals and expert academics who are either prescribing diet and lifestyle changes to their patients, or who are conducting research in this every growing field. Before we get into this episode, I want to thank our sponsors. Actually…just kidding, there are no sponsors of the podcast. Other than the generous patronage of 52 individuals who enjoy my content, who value my work and who support my mission of helping people through diet and lifestyle change. With that said, I'd like to thank our newest Patron Mike Eisenberg. Thank you Mike for your support and for listening. And if you find value in my work like Mike does, you too can become a patron for as little as $1 per episode by logging on to Patreon.com/IanCramerPodcast. In episode 89, I am joined by a previous guest of the podcast. Dr. Evan Allen who joined me for episode 62 of the podcast comes back for another discussion on his specialty, dietary fats. In my eyes, there is a lot of debate lately around dietary fats and saturated ftas. One side is saying they are unhealthy and should we avoid them as much as possible, and there's an every growing and enthusiastic side that is proclaiming that all of the science implicating saturated fats in the past 70 years is bunk and there isn't really strong evidence for avoiding Saturated Fats. Insert: Dr. Evan Allen. One of the leading experts arguing for limiting Saturated fats. He too has seen this confusion and debate as of late and understood how sound the science was. And because of that he decided to write a book on the subject entitled : Oversaturated: A guide to conversations about Fats with your patients. You can buy his book and educate yourself about Saturated Fats wherever books are sold. In our discussion we speak about: His new Book on Saturated Fats and why he wanted to write it. Specific papers in the literature that conclude that Sat. Fats are not harmful, and why those papers are wrong. We go into different types of evidence that we have based nutritional recommendations on. We speak about the 4 papers and 1 editorial published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in October 2019 that conclude, again, that Sat. Fats are not harmful.  We talk at length about a chapter in his book on Ceramides, what they are and should we be concerned. Populations that changed their diets to one of lower saturated fats and saw improvements in their health. Without further delay, please enjoy my second conversation with Evan Allen, on Episode #89. Closing: Nutrition science is confusing, even to someone like me who has been learning about this for the past 8 years. Which is why it's really nice to have someone like Dr. Allen out there to explain the science and the counter points. If you enjoyed this and if you feel others around you are confused about saturated fats or diet in general, share it with your networks, friends and family. There are so many ways you can do this…social media, word of mouth, directly from your podcast player. Take a screenshot or screen grab of the podcast and share it that way, too. You can also thank Dr. Allen directly, connect with him and even ask him follow-up questions on Twitter @EAllen0417. And as I mentioned in the Intro, he has a new book out Entitled Oversaturated: A guide to conversations about Fats with your patients that you can purchase as well. As always, you can connect with me on Instagram at IanMCramer, Facebook or to get the quickest response, on Twitter @IanCramer. Thank you for listening, thank you for taking an interest in your health and your future. Keep eating more plants, remain responsible ambassadors to whatever movement you're passionate about, and stay healthy. We'll see you in 2 week.    

In this great episode of Thrive Bites, I speak with the Plant-Based Cyclist on his journey into the plant-based world and his contribution to the community and the negative effects on our planet.Ian Cramer is passionate about spreading the message that diet and lifestyle dramatically affect individual health as well as the health of the planet. He motivates others and is motivated, by the simple yet challenging concept that maintaining good health and peak performance involves making good choices. Likewise, chronic disease may be reversed or prevented when these good choices, that are easily and economically available, become the norm every day.Ian is an allied health care professional with degrees in Kinesiology and athletic training. Beyond his day job, he's a public lecturer and produces an interview-based podcast. Driven by knowledge, evidence and civil discourse, he created The Ian Cramer Podcast. With a mission to interview doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition, Ian's unwavering focus in his podcast is to learn more, disseminate this information to a larger audience, educate lay-people and the medical community and change the world by leading in positive and responsible ways.In June 2015, he and a group of three friends from Ohio rode their bikes across the country in what's known as The Race Across America. Supported by a full crew, Team Oxford Autoimmune completed the 3200-mile journey in 7 days 16 hours and 27 minutes. For Ian, the estimated 6000 miles of training and racing for the event were all done on a plant-based diet. He continues to race and ride recreationally in Rochester, New York.Social Media Links:Website: https://www.plant-basedcyclist.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IanMichaelCramer/Twitter: https://twitter.com/IanCramerPlease support this podcast to impact others to live better: https://patron.podbean.com/thrivebitespodcast*Interview views are opinions of the individual.

Hello and welcome to another episode of The Ian Cramer Podcast. I am the one-man-band podcast creator Ian Cramer. This podcast seeks to interview doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine. I want to bring thought leaders to my audience, those who are doing research within the lifestyle medicine, nutritional science space, or who are treating patients using diet, exercise, and lifestyle approaches. Why do I do this? Well, I hate to be a pessimist, but our healthcare system isn't working that well. In the United States, we're spending way more money per person than other countries, and it doesn't really seem like people are getting healthier. What are we spending that money on? Procedures and prescriptions! And status-quo! When what we really need more of is basic education, lifestyle interventions, we don't need the latest greatest stent or lipid-lowering medication, what we need is lasting diet and lifestyle changes. And those who emphasize these pillars, is who I fill this podcast with. Welcome.   In Episode 87, am joined by a Twitter lighting rod. His name is Kevin Bass, and at least from my observations of him, lots of people love him, and a disproportionate number of people do not like his style. Kevin is an MD/PhD student in Texas. He has a BS in biology and BA in anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin and an MS in immunology. For his PhD, he studies the potential use of the ketogenic diet as an adjunctive therapy in the prevention and treatment of cancer, focusing particularly on the role of G-protein-coupled receptor GPR109A. He will return to medical school in 2021 to complete his medical degree. He also has a particular interest in nutrition, nutrition science and how diet and lifestyle play a role in chronic disease prevention and reversal. What caught my attention about Kevin and what motived me to speak to him for an episode of the podcast was the way he always speaks up when something is not evidence-based. He is candid, he's sometimes rough around the edges, yet also capable and open to scholarly discussions, He challenges my thinking, gets my wheels turning and makes me think more critically about topics having to do with chronic diseases, diet and lifestyle changes. I've also enjoyed reading Kevin's blog articles on various topics within nutritional science. He stands up for what's right, he speaks up against pseudoscience, espouses scientific integrity, he is intellectually honest and curious, and even in this episode, he pushed back a few times on my statements and philosophies with his interpretations of the literature. I find the way he approaches topics in an unbiased and pro/con way very refreshing. In this discussion, we speak about his doctoral dissertation on a Ketogenic diet and cancer. We start with discussing the physiology of a ketogenic diet, then dovetail into the origins of this dietary strategy and different definitions of ketogenic diets. We then speak about various applications of ketogenic diets such as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, Obesity and metabolic disorders, and longevity, and then end with a summary of the literature on ketogenic diets and cancer prevention and treatment. You may hear in this episode that we mention a Part 1 several times. We did record a part 1 several weeks before we recorded this. But after some deliberation, we agreed that we would not publish that because we weren't happy with it. In spending over 3 hours with Kevin, I learned things not only about ketogenic diets but also how to be a better podcaster and host and interviewer, which is something else I appreciate about him. I thank Kevin very much for his time, and thank you for listening. Without further delay, I hope you enjoy my conversation, on Episode number 87, with Kevin Bass.  I really enjoyed that, and appreciate how much time Kevin gives people, whether it's a podcast, or on twitter or through his blog articles. I highly recommend you check out his blog at NutritionRevolution.org where he has the tag line ‘Science is a permanent revolution”. I hope many of you are new listeners to the podcast through Kevin's reach on Twitter, and if this episode met your expectations, please consider sharing this episode on social media.

Hello 2020, and Welcome Everyone. This is the voice of Ian Cramer and this is the start of the 4th year of my podcast, where I seek to interview doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine. The professionals that fill this podcast are treating patients in the field, reversing chronic diseases, prescribing diet and lifestyle changes in order for their patients to regain their health, without the emphasis on pills and procedures. I do this because I enjoy learning and I'm sure listeners can learn something from the experiences of my guests. I'd first like to extend a special Thank You to Jeff Johnson and an Anonymous Patron as the newest Patrons of the Podcast. This anonymous Patron wrote to me and said “I share your curiosity and open-mindedness…Please continue to interview people who do not entirely share your own line of thinking. This has been hugely helpful to me, and I suspect many others as well…In 2020 I'm hoping the nutrition community can focus more on areas of agreement, as well as exploring the unknowns in areas of disagreement”. Me Too, Well said. I would also like to Thank Stacy Banks, who has helped me over the past year with my social media. She has assisted me with scheduling posts and streamlining my social media to free up some time, and for her hard work I'd like to thank her publicly. Thank you again, Stacy. In Episode 85, I'm speaking with Brooklyn Borough president Eric Adams. I learned about Eric through an article highlighting his story, his health scare and his determination to do everything he could to reverse the damage that had been done and regain his health without prescriptions. I was also encouraged to interview Eric from a Patron who lives in Brooklyn, thank you Natasha for the gentle nudges to reach out to Eric and get him on the podcast. In our conversation, we speak about his S&S he experienced as he learned of several chronic ailments. Including his Type 2 diabetes, and the significance of an A1C of 17.  As someone who favors prevention over treatment, I ask Eric to reflect on his journey and think about if anything could have changed his diet and lifestyle years before he was actually forced to take action. As the President of the Borough of Brooklyn, we talk about changes taking place in his jurisdictions to help people lead healthier lives. At the time of this interview which was Late 2019, there was recently a ban on Chocolate Milk in all NYC Schools, and we talk about the process of making legislation that affects food, and people's health and wellbeing.  And Lastly, we speak about how other civic leaders and change makers can make a difference in their areas and how you can help others lead healthier lives from a policy perspective. Without further delay, I hope you enjoy our conversation on Episode 85 with Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams. THE BEAUTY OF this age we're living in now, is we can all be change makers. You're all leaders, and role models…even if you're not in an elected position, you can all help people around you. I am inspired by Eric to do more in my area to change the food environments, policies and laws to help people get healthier. Start small, you don't have to shoot for the moon. Start with your friends, have a pot-luck, have an informational session about living a healthier diet and lifestyle at your house. Several years back when I was presenting at local libraries about the power of diet and lifestyle on health and disease, some people reached out to me saying that they started to present at local libraries after they saw me do it. That made me feel good. Don't think that you're too small, or don't know enough people to make change. Change starts one person at a time. No matter what topic it is, I encourage you to do what you're passionate about and keep it fun, keep it responsible and respectful. People are listening and willing to follow people who lead by example. It is going to be a busy month of January, at last count I have 8 interviews booked that I'm really excited about. I say over and over to myself, to keep this fun. Speak to people who interest me, about topics that I want to learn more about. And by extension, I hope you want to know more about too. I've hashed out my 2020 plan and guest list, and it's going to be a better year than last.

On today’s show, I’m going to take you through my nutrition journey and how I’ve learned to eat healthier over the past few years, which is invaluable to me as a freelance business owner. As freelancers, in particular, we need to focus on our health. Often, we sit at home all day behind a computer. Many of us are not getting enough exercise—we’re not even getting up enough throughout the day to stand, walk or stretch. And food temptations are just a room or two away. As freelancers, if we don’t work, we don’t make money. If you’re eating foods that make you feel sluggish, or you’re dehydrated and tired, or you’re hopped up on too much caffeine, you’re not going to do your best work. Your brain might not be as sharp that day, or you’re just tired and want a nap. As an employee, you can feel this way and either push through or just suffer through the day—but you get paid either way. Not so as a freelancer. You need to be on your game and doing your best work. This episode is not about weight, even though I do want to lose a few pounds. I’m trying really hard to focus on the health aspects in my own life, which does include not gaining any more weight. First up: water. I have finally embraced how magnificent water is. Of course, I knew this intellectually. But I never drank it. Instead, throughout my 20s, I would drink 3–6 cans of Mountain Dew every day. In my 30s, I switched to Diet Mountain Dew to get away from the calories, but now I was consuming the aspartame sweetener also. I tried to give up caffeine several times and finally succeeded in giving it up cold turkey in 2009. To do that, I started on a Thursday so I could suffer my caffeine withdrawals mostly over the weekend. However, for several years, I just replaced my Diet Mountain Dew with Sprite or Sierra Mist or root beer. I did start drinking caffeinated tea a few years ago, but I make sure not to get addicted. In fact, this year I switched to drinking mostly rooibos tea, which is delicious and doesn’t have caffeine. Then, just a couple of years ago I finally gave up Sprite and all soda in favor of water. But I needed help to do so. I’m a former newspaper reporter and a very curious person. I’m also a “questioner,” according to Gretchen Rubin’s book “The Four Tendencies.” Gretchen divides people into four categories based on how we respond to expectations and make decisions in our life. A questioner tends to meet inner expectations when we set our mind to something—like when I finally decided to quit caffeine cold turkey—but we tend to resist outer expectations if there’s no reason we can believe in. The catch is that I will meet outer societal expectations if I respect the rule, the person or the process. With that in mind, I decided to hire a nutritionist at Third Space Wellness here in Silver Spring, Maryland, a few years ago, to help me out on my journey. I worked with my nutritionist, Susie, for a couple of months. She presented me with facts about food, and she worked to help me develop new healthy habits into my life. Our first step: getting rid of Sprite. And drinking water. Susie helped me realize that to drink more water I needed to have it with me all the time. So I bought an insulated water bottle and began by drinking 8–16 oz. of water every day and worked my way up to more. Another tip from Susie: Fill up your water bottle at night and put it on your nightstand. We all start out our mornings already dehydrated, so drinking 8–16 oz. of water each morning starts us off on the right path. Susie also helped me find healthier snacks. She encouraged me to take a fun field trip to local markets new to me and scour the shelves for healthier alternatives. I headed to Mom’s Organic Market, where Susie recommended I try Hope’s spicy avocado hummus. I now eat it with Jovial organic einkorn sourdough crackers. I also eat more fruit and am trying out Medjool dates, which are a sweet, soft and chewy fruit. My dad is an avid cyclist. He has been tall and thin and in great shape all of his adult life. However, his cholesterol was sky-high, no matter how much he exercised. So, last year, my dad adopted a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, which is essentially vegan—except he’s doing it solely for health reasons. Dad heard about the whole-food, plant-based lifestyle from his cycling friend Ian Cramer, an allied health care professional with degrees in kinesiology and athletic training. Ian has a podcast called the Ian Cramer Podcast, where he interviews doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition. My dad had long conversations with Ian about this new lifestyle and decided to try it. He’s lucky that my mom loves to cook and was willing to switch over all of her cooking for both of them to vegan meals. They had fun looking for and trying out new recipes together. Dad ate Brussels sprouts for the first time, discovering he loved them. He bought a Ninja blender to make smoothies with almond milk and fruit. After six months or so, he dropped 20 pounds—he’s leaner and even healthier looking now. And his bad cholesterol level dropped 62 points! He has kept track of his bike rides for years, and after changing his diet, his cycling app showed him riding faster up hills and riding more miles overall. I was inspired. So, August 11, 2018, was the last time I ate meat. I don’t miss it, and it was easy for me to give it up, which was a huge surprise. However, I still eat fish and seafood, which I love, though I’ve definitely cut back and usually only eat it in restaurants, not at home. The other thing I gave up was dairy—mostly. I love cheese, but, again, I cut way back. I don’t have it in the house and usually only eat it when I go out to eat, as a treat. If it’s just a topping, I often ask for the cheese to be left off. But I gave up milk, yogurt, butter, ice cream, plus eggs. I consider myself about 80% whole-food, plant-based. On most days, I’m fully living a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. Other days, I’m vegetarian, and some days I’m pescatarian—eating fish that day. But it’s a journey. So, what do I eat? I usually start off my day with oatmeal: Nature’s Path’s Blueberry Cinnamon Flax instant oatmeal. I add chia seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon and fresh blueberries and strawberries. On days when I’m in a hurry, I eat KIND blueberry almond breakfast bars. I’ve been trying to eat more beans for fiber and protein. I eat a lot of vegetables—I love mushrooms. I love to cook, but I also aim for convenience, so rice bowls with jasmine rice are an easy meal. I also like tacos and fajitas and trying new Indian and Asian recipes. If you like sandwiches, you can make meatless sandwiches that are filling and tasty. I use a vegan mayo or hummus for the spread and then fill the sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and avocado. I especially love buying unique types of tomatoes at the farmers market when they’re in season and trying all those different flavors. My next step in my nutrition journey is to cut back on sugar. This will probably be the hardest food-related action I’ve ever taken. I think I’m more addicted to sugar than I ever was to caffeine. I’m not quite ready to say I’m cutting out sugar completely though. I’ll be testing myself this holiday season to cut back on sugar, to sometimes refuse the cookies or cakes, pies or candy.

This is the first monologue I have published. My hope is that this will give you a better idea of who I am, what makes me tick and why I am making this podcast.   More specifically, I will cover: Who am I? Where do I live? What is the podcast all about? Why did you initially go Whole-Foods plant-based? Has your ‘why' evolved? What other applicable outreach do you do? (Ex. ‘Ask the doc', public speaking, ...) Why did I start the podcast? How do you prepare for a podcast? What is your thought process when choosing a guest for interview? How would you describe the style of your podcast? Why did I choose this particular focus? How can this podcast be useful to those just learning about plant based nutrition as well as those who have already begun their journeys down this path? What are is my goal? What are my dreams? What do I want people to take away from the podcast episodes? What are your hopes for the growth of the podcast, and how can listeners help?

Competitive plant-powered cyclist Ian Cramer joins me to talk about following the evidence and staying curious, how disagreeing with others or listening to others with dissenting opinions is OK, whether the definition of the term “vegan” should by default include personal health, promoting veganism in a responsible, compassionate way, and how social media can be toxic and counterproductive (and what we can do about it).

Ian Cramer, a competitive cyclist, is passionate about spreading the message that diet and lifestyle dramatically affect individual health as well as the health of the planet. He motivates others and is motivated himself, by the simple yet challenging concept that maintaining good health and peak performance involve making good choices. Likewise, chronic disease may be reversed or prevented when these good choices, that are easily and economically available, become the norm everyday.

Ian Cramer, a competitive cyclist, is passionate about spreading the message that diet and lifestyle dramatically affect individual health as well as the health of the planet. For Ian, this reality speaks of encouragement. He motivates others and is motivated himself, by the simple yet challenging concept that maintaining good health and peak performance involve making good choices. Likewise, chronic disease may be reversed or prevented when these good choices, that are easily and economically available, become the norm everyday.   Ian is an allied health care professional with degrees in Kinesiology and athletic training. Beyond his day job, he's a public lecturer and produces an interview-based podcast. Driven by knowledge, evidence and civil discourse, he created The Ian Cramer Podcast. With a mission to interview doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition, Ian's unwavering focus in his podcast is to learn more, disseminate this information to a larger audience, educate lay-people and the medical community and change the world by leading in positive and responsible ways.     In June 2015, he and a group of three friends from Ohio rode their bikes across the country in what's known as The Race Across America. Supported by a full crew, Team Oxford Autoimmune completed the 3200-mile journey in 7 days 16 hours and 27 minutes. For Ian, the estimated 6000 miles of training and racing for the event were all done on a plant-based diet. He continues to race and ride recreationally in Rochester, New York.

If you look at things as a whole, this country is unhealthy. We do a lot of things in our daily lives that are based on emotion. When it comes to something that is as important as your health, if you base things on emotion, you’re going to stick to your ice cream, pizza, and cheeseburgers. Plant-based cyclist and wellness coach Ian Cramer says it’s important to grow a thick skin and do things based on evidence. If you base things on evidence, a lot of doors will open up and you will truly find health because evidence points towards a diet that consists of more whole plant foods for health, longevity and decreasing chronic diseases. Ian hosts The Ian Cramer Podcast where he tackles life and wellness. He shares his wellness journey and all the rich benefits of that plant-based diet have to offer. Love the show?

Hey everyone, I am Ian Cramer and thank you for listening to my podcast…the podcast that's dedicated to making you healthier by interviewing doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition. I hope that you come away from each of these episodes learning something about how diet and lifestyle can affect different areas of health. I had this conversation with Jane Esselstyn before she was about to speak to a large group of college students at SUNY Brockport, a local college here in the Rochester Area. We talk about projects she's working on, including a new YouTube channel that she's spearheading with her Mom, Ann. We also touch on her personal positions on ketogenic dieting, genetics and its role on disease as well as trends within the plant-based movement. If anyone has a sense of the ‘pulse' of the plant-based movement, it's Jane. She is part Energizer Bunny and part rockstar, her personality is infectious which makes the message she conveys that much more impactful. Jane is known for her talks on health above and below the belt, which if you knew how Jane started, isn't surprising. One of Her first gigs was teaching sex education, so it's not surprising that she melded plant-based nutrition with topics having to do with sexual health. Her talk provides an interesting angle and further reinforces the beneficial impacts of eating a whole foods plant-based diet.

I enjoy learning, I like evidence, I'm inquisitive, I appreciate people who are smarter than me and I enjoy helping others. We all have something to learn from one another, and in this podcast, I curate and compile these conversations on plant-based and lifestyle medicine to hopefully inspire you to get healthier in some way. I'm a big picture kind of guy…and recently I was thinking about the larger implications of this podcast. Beyond ‘people getting healthier' I hope this podcast motivates you to starts conversations, makes you more apt to ask questions and think critically with the end goal of “Being Better” in whatever you're passionate or interested in. In Episode 35, I'm speaking with Dr. Stephan Esser, a non-operative orthopedic physician practicing in Point Vedra Beach, Florida, just outside of Jacksonville. Dr. Esser certainly has this plant-based nutrition in his blood, as his great grandfather and grandfather were some of the first pioneers teaching people about how they could live healthier lives and heal their bodies from the inside out with diet and lifestyle changes. Although one may assume that Dr. Esser is in the wrong field or subspecialty, he uses his orthopedic office to identify patients who may see a benefit from diet and lifestyle. He says no matter what kind of physician you are, we all, to some degree, see the side-effects of poor diet, lifestyle and chronic disease. In our 1-hour conversation, we speak about 3 main topics. Sports performance and plant based nutrition, transitioning to a PB diet and myths and misconceptions about plant-based lifestyles. I get particularly excited when a doctor refers another doctor and says “This guys good”, which is exactly what happened here, so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, on Episode 35 with Dr. Stephan Esser. I'm very excited to welcome a new patron family and newest members to the board of directors, Erik and Mollie Walnum from the great state of Montana. I've known Erik for a period of time through Instagram. He and his wife are passionately plant-based and are trying to encourage change. And their starting with their local school, trying to make lunches healthier and teach kids what it means to eat and live a healthy life. Big thank you to Erik and Mollie for your support, I really appreciate it. Until next episode, which if you didn't realize comes out every other Saturday, Keep eating more plants, continue to be respectful ambassadors for this lifestyle, and stay healthy.

In Ep. 34, I really enjoyed Dr. Shivam Joshi and I think he really enjoyed his time speaking with me. Dr. Joshi is a Renal Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Very recently, Dr. Joshi popped up on my radar after an article he wrote for Forks Over Knives caught my eye. I read it, saw who wrote it and knew that I had to reach out to this guy. With articles about sugar, diabetes, whole food plant-based nutrition and the paleo diet, this guys speaking my language. So, spring-boarding off of what he wrote about and what he's passionate about, we spoke at length about the Paleo Diet, Diabetes in Migrant populations and about his medical subspecialty of nephrology and how our kidney health can be directly affected by diet, lifestyle and the side effects of chronic diseases. I can see Dr. Joshi becoming a fan favorite. He's young, has a sense of humor, well spoken, down to earth and relatable. I hope you enjoy Ep. 34 with Dr. Shivam Joshi.

Today's podcast is a special bonus episode. I wanted to add in something extra this week with it being my 100th Episode week. I was thinking about what I could do, and thought it would be a lot of fun to bring in a few other plant-based podcasters in like a rountable setting…super casual, just talking about nutrition, wellness, mindset, whatever comes up. So plant-based podcasters Ian Cramer, from The Ian Cramer Podcast, and Howard Jacobson from The Plant Yourself Podcast, jumped on here last minute with me to record, and it was a lot of fun. We covered a lot about mindset and the effect of physical activity on positivity and focusness, as well as plant-based nutrition, and more. I definitely want to start adding Podcaster Roundtables every other month or so, so be sure to keep me posted what you think!  I hope you love it!

The plant-based cyclist, searched for the ultimate nutrition to improve his cycling performance and came to the conclusion the plant-based diet was it. He was so impressed by the information he wants to gather interviews of experts to share with the world. I was lucky to be invited to talk to Ian and you will enjoy listening to this young man. His approach of sharing this information is a slow drip of sorts which you may find very useful when sharing information to others!
