In this episode, Shireen Abdullah speaks with Katya Galbis, a registered dietitian and plant-based nutrition educator for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Originally from Mexico, Katya shares her journey into plant-based nutrition, which began with her father's activism and evolved into a mission to make plant-based living accessible and culturally relevant for Spanish-speaking communities. She highlights the core principles of a healthy plant-based diet: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. She explains how these foods support gut health, provide essential nutrients, and help manage chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.Katya offers practical advice for those skeptical or new to plant-based eating, including how to modify traditional dishes, shop on a budget, and avoid the pressure of perfection. She also highlights the importance of community support and culturally sensitive resources to make lifestyle changes more sustainable. The episode closes with a reminder that small steps like adding more color to your plate or preparing simple home-cooked meals, can lead to lasting improvements in health. “Eating healthy means eating the basics and going back to basics … not buying all these fancy foods.”Connect with Yumlish!Yumlish Website: Yumlish.comYumlish on Instagram: @yumlish_Yumlish on Facebook: YumlishYumlish on Twitter: @yumlish_Connect with Katya Galbis and PCRM!Website URL: pcrm.orgInstagram URL: @physicianscommitteeFacebook URL: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.orgLinkedIn URL: the physician committee for responsible medicine

Can you reverse heart disease — even after doctors have written you off as a lost cause? What if your heart failure was so bad, you were considered too sick for surgery, or receiving end-of-life care? The late cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery believed no patient was incurable.

 Your body reacts to a healthy diet far faster than numbers fall on a scale.   Long before you begin losing weight your body begins to transform radically inside. One of the biggest benefits is dramatically reduced cellular inflammation. This subsequently lowers the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.   Dr. Neal Barnard reviews a South African study showing how quickly the benefits of a healthy diet can take shape as he joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.   The study examines people who are put on a predominantly whole food plant-based diet for two weeks and compares them to those eating a popular higher fat Western diet, and vice versa. The results are incredible!   This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J.

Food is as powerful as any medicine, according to a leading cardiologist.   Dr. Columbus Batiste tells his patients to eat the food that their great grandparents would eat. In essence, for health reasons it is critical that we eat food that will decay and break down rather than stand the test of time.   That is why Dr. Batiste is a major proponent of limiting ultra processed foods in the diet. He warns that we don't know fully understand how the additives in those foods are impacting our body.   In This Interview   - Food additives that are destroying our health - Fresh squeezed vs. concentrated orange juice - Ultraprocessed foods and disease - Making convenient foods work for us instead of against us - Heart health effects of chicken vs. beef and pork - Carbs are good, "carbage" is bad - Seed oils   — — SHOW LINKS — — Columbus Batiste Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyheartdoc Selfish Book: https://drbatiste.com/product-category/book Website: https://drbatiste.com — — EVENTS — — HELP Conference Where: Jupiter, FL When: May 16-18, 2025 Who: Dr. Batiste, Dr. Kim Williams, Dr. Scott Stoll, Dr. Milton Mills, Danette Batiste and more!

What is the best diet for someone with diabetes?   Dr. Thomas Campbell shares his research comparing the DASH Diet and a whole food plant-based diet. Their effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels are then examined.   Although both diets showed improvement, the participants experienced superior results while eating the WFPB diet. Dr. Campbell explains why when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.   In the Interview:   Plant-Based Diet for Diabetes Management: The interview emphasizes the effectiveness of a whole food plant-based diet in managing diabetes, contrasting it with other dietary approaches like the keto diet, which merely suppresses symptoms rather than addressing underlying issues.   Influence of Family Legacy: Dr. Campbell reflects on the profound influence of his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell who co-authored The China Study, on his career choice in medicine, emphasizing that his motivation stemmed from passion rather than pressure.   Challenges in Medical Nutrition Education: He highlights a significant gap in knowledge among medical professionals regarding diet and its effects on health, particularly in treating conditions like heart disease and diabetes.   Social Norms and Health: Dr. Campbell discusses how social norms contribute to unhealthy eating habits, making it difficult for individuals to change their diets despite knowing the health risks associated with poor nutrition.   Patient Education and Openness: Dr. Campbell stresses the importance of patient openness to dietary changes and the need for healthcare providers to engage in meaningful conversations rather than overwhelming patients with information.   Join Chuck and Dr. Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7! — — SHOW LINKS — — Join Chuck and Dr. B in Miami https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — T.

This is everything you need to know about processed food. Which ones are healthy? Which ones are bad for you?   Find out as leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.   - In This Interview -   Definition of Processed Foods: Dr. Barnard explains the difference between processed food and ultra-processed foods.   Health Factors: The conversation highlights that while processed foods are often associated with diabetes and heart disease, not all processed foods are equally harmful. For instance, some processed cereals may have preventive health effects compared to unprocessed meats, which can increase the risk of diabetes.   Processed Foods and Immune System: Dr. Barnard explores whether a heavily processed diet can weaken the immune system and make you more vulnerable to viruses.   Processed Foods and Life Expectancy: Chuck and Dr. Barnard hypothesize about the potential negative impact that eating a highly processed diet can have on life expectancy. Can these foods rob years from your life?   Sodium and Dairy: The discussion touches on the dangers of added sodium in processed foods and the health implications of dairy consumption.   Practical Tips: Dr. Barnard offers practical advice for incorporating healthier foods into your diet, such as stocking up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to encourage healthier eating habits.    Chuck also has details on a study tracking the outrageous number of advertisements for unhealthy food that are shown during football games.   This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg's passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.   — — BOOKS — — The Power Foods Diet: https://amzn.to/3GmCxUj — — SHOW LINKS — — Football Advertisement Study https://bit.ly/FootballFoodStudy — — — Gregory J.
