Podcasts about plant based health professionals

April is bowel cancer awareness month. With this in mind we talk to Dr Alan Desmond, consultant gastroenterologist, about how to reduce our risk of developing bowel cancer, one of the commonest cancers in the Western world, and how diet and lifestyle can improve prognosis for people already living with this condition. Alan is a practising clinician, author of 'The Plant-Based Diet Revolution', a well known speaker and now a successful podcaster with his new podcast - ‘Eat This with Dr Alan Desmond', as well as being an Ambassador for Plant-Based Health Professionals UK. For many years Alan has been advocating for a high fibre whole food plant-based diet, for gut health and to reduce the risk of many chronic conditions.

It's over to Plant-Based Health Professionals researcher Isabelle Sadler for this week's nugget. PBHP UK have published groundbreaking research examining NHS hospital menus which shows that despite national recommendations to shift towards more sustainable, plant-forward diets, UK hospitals are showing limited progress in offering environmentally-friendly meal options.The reference:How Sustainable Are Hospital Menus in the United Kingdom? Identifying Untapped Potential Based on a Novel Scoring System for Plant-Based Provisions Isabelle Sadler, Alexander Bauer, Shireen Kassamhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jhn.70019

Twenty year's ago, Kate Dunbar was struggling to move  - riddled with joint pain and a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis, she was on heavy medication and life seemed bleak.But when she started investigating how diet impacted her health, she transformed her condition, becoming not only pain free, but medication free. Cutting out animal products, and then transitioning to a plant-based wholefoods diet, she now runs marathons as a Vegan Runner.Kate's story is so inspirational that she now advises on the patient board for the Plant-Based Health Professionals, and speaks as an ambassador for Running On Plants and Vegan Runners.An activist for veganism she takes every opportunity to run and spread awareness of animals and the planet and why plant-based is not only better for welfare, and the earth, but also, her health.Follow Kate on Instagram at @kate.dunbar

Dr Minil Patel is not only a doctor, but a vegan bodybuilder, member of Plant-Based Health Professionals, ambassador for Climate Games and Running On Plants, and a runner!If there's one thing that Minil proves, it's that being vegan does not make you weak.Owning the term "soy boy", he shows that getting ripped is entirely possible by living on plants alone.We talk about how education on food and nutrition is key to getting fit on a plant-based diet, and how transitioning to plant-based milk cured his digestive issues.Vegan for the animals, the health and fitness benefits were a happy side-effect to Minil's vegan diet.Trying to keep snacks and packaged foods out of the house, he tells me that planning is key for him to stay healthy and having prepped food is a really great idea.We talk about ignoring the trolls, and how the word "soy boy" is used to try and emasculate vegan men, Minil is reclaiming the term and reminds us that vegan women outnumber men by at least double, and that trolls try and equate eating meat with masculinity and often send homophobic and racist comments to him and other vegans. As a doctor people tend to take Minil more seriously where his veganism is concerned, and his bodybuilding success shows how shredded you can get on a plant-based diet.He tells me that a beetroot juice needs to be made with cooked beets, not raw ones - that can get messy!!Minil only started running last June with the Running On Plants 5K Challenge, and he quickly caught the bug. He'll be doing it again this June to see if he can beat his PB.We talk about whether the strength training can complement running, and Minil gives us a run down of what a typical day might look like for someone so busy, who manages to fit in his strength and running.Minil is on Instagram - @drironjunkie and on Facebook, he's also an ambassador for Running On Plants He's an ambassador for Climate Games  Minil is also on the Plant-Based Health Professionals Network

Exmouth has become the fifth UK council to endorse the call for a global Plant Based Treaty to address food impacts on the climate emergency, joining climate leaders Edinburgh, Norwich, Lambeth and Haywards Heath. In a statement issued by Exmouth Town Council, they said, "Exmouth Town Council has declared its commitment to making Exmouth cleaner, greener and healthier by endorsing the call for the Plant Based Treaty. This endorsement was made as part of their Climate Action Plan, which aims to combat the climate crisis and make the town a thriving, zero-carbon community." Exmouth aims to reduce carbon footprint Exmouth resident and Town Councillor, Louise Venables, expressed her pride in the town's efforts to become a zero-carbon community and the importance of endorsing the Plant Based Treaty at a critical time, "Switching to an increasingly plant-based diet is the simplest and one of the most effective actions we can take to reduce our carbon emissions. Plant-based diets can also improve health, remedy biodiversity, improve animal welfare, and be financially beneficial. Andrew Garner, Plant Based Treaty UK campaigner, said, "2023 was the world's hottest year on record, and Exmouth has rightfully recognised the importance of plant-based food solutions and rewilding to address multiple planetary crises. Their climate leadership in calling for a Plant Based Treaty offers hope that we can address food emissions which account for a third of greenhouse gas emissions. In the Plant Based Treaty motion, which passed at a full council meeting in December, Exmouth committed to a number of plant-based food and rewilding policies: Promote plant-based foods. Include campaigns/activities to encourage a switch to plant-based foods in our Climate Action Plan Design public information campaigns to raise awareness about the climate and the environmental advantages and health benefits of plant-based food, nutrition and cooking Aim to reduce the public's consumption of animal-based food through education in schools, organisations and local businesses Transition to plant-based meal plans when catering for climate-related meetings, events etc. Help to restore key ecosystems and reforest the earth. Support reforestation projects and convene a tree forum to provide transparency and encourage collaboration between stakeholders in Exmouth Focus shift on nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation (in ETC's consultative planning role) Cities: support initiatives to increase trees and wildflowers, increase green community projects, wildlife corridors, green rooftops, local growing schemes, work towards biodiversity increases (in our consultative planning role and in our environment policy) Enhance food justice by supporting projects that provide access to healthy food for all, especially low-income communities (support projects like Mushroom, a food community network in Exmouth) Background The Plant Based Treaty is modelled on the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and inspired by treaties that have addressed the threats of ozone layer depletion and nuclear weapons. It has been endorsed by 24 municipalities worldwide, including Edinburgh, Norwich, Lambeth, Exmouth, Haywards Heath and Los Angeles. Since its launch in August 2021, the initiative has received support from 130,000 individual endorsers, 5 Nobel laureates, IPCC scientists, and more than 3000 groups and businesses, including Veganuary, Ecotricity, Linda McCartney Foods, Plant Based Health Professionals, UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, and chapters of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. The Plant Based Treaty has secured high-profile endorsements from celebrities, including Chris Packham and Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney, who issued a written statement calling for politicians to support the Plant-Based Treaty. They said: "We believe in justice for animals, the environment and people. That's why we support the Plant Based Treaty and urge individuals and gove...

In London, op het congres van Compassion in World Farming en iPES Food, interview ik Dokter Shireen Kassam. Shireen is hematoloog. Zij bestudeert ziekten van het bloed, met een specialisatie in lymfenklierkanker. Maar de laatste jaren is ze zich gaan verdiepen in het effect van voeding, en dan vooral Plantaardige voeding, op het genezen én het voorkomen van ziekten. Ze deed een extra studie, leefstijlgeneeskunde, en richtte daarna de organisatie Plant-Based Health Professionals UK op. Daarmee onderwijst ze artsen en gezondheidsprofessionals over de effecten van een vegan voedingspatroon. Recent schreef ze samen met haar zus, die ook kankerarts is, het boek: Eating Plant-Based: Scientific Answers to Your Nutrition Questions. Een uitgelezen kans om eens even de diepte in te gaan op de gezondheidsaspecten van een plantaardig dieet. Dit interview is in ‘t engels. Deze aflevering: Waarom is Shireen, als kankerarts, zich gaan specialiseren in voeding? Op welk dieet blijven mensen het langst gezond? Zijn plantaardige proteinen even goed als dierlijke? Hoe belangrijk is vitamine B12? Is plantaardig eten slecht voor je botten? Hoe zit het met zwangere vrouwen, jonge kinderen en oudere mensen? Hebben ziekenhuispatiënten dierlijke proteïnen nodig? Hoe voorkom je, als voorvechter van plantaardige voeding, een tunnelvisie? Meer info? Website Plant-Based Health Professionals UK:  https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/Plantbased Health online: https://plantbasedhealthonline.com/Credits:Gasten: Shireen Kassam, Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, Presentatie: Esther Molenwijk, Bureau DaadWerkAudio en design: Marlon van der Pas, Nothing BlankMet dank aan de organisatoren van het Extinction or Regeneration congres: Compassion in World Farming:  https://www.ciwf.nl/IPES Food: https://www.ipes-food.org/Help ons het plantaardige nieuws te verspreiden: deel deze podcast.
