As busy families, it's easy to catch yourself coming and going, shoveling back quick meals without even thinking, and prioritizing convenience over health, especially when you're constantly pressed for time. You know you're supposed to incorporate healthier eating habits for your whole family, but HOW? Enter board-certified pediatrician, certified lifestyle medicine physician, health coach, and mother of two, Dr. Yami! Dr. Yami's work and her private practice focus on how families can start to integrate more whole plant-based foods into their diets and adopt other healthy lifestyle habits even when moving a million miles a minute. Easier said than done, right? Well, Dr. Yami literally wrote the book to help families in this transition. A Parent's Guide to Intuitive Eating: How to Raise Kids Who Love to Eat Healthy, is packed with research and support to help parents and families work together on creating a healthier lifestyle. We talk all about body shaming and how to get your kids to eat whole-food plant-based without forcing it down their throats and allowing them to follow their kind of intuitive eating clues. Even if you're not a parent, you'll love the advice of Dr. Yami, especially if you consider yourself to be a picky eater (spoiler alert: most of us are). As Dr. Yami says, we can't necessarily control what our bodies look like, but we can control how we view them, and her work is all about starting an ongoing conversation with your family about getting healthier TOGETHER. And that's what it's all about! You'll hear: Dr. Yami's many credentials and certifications Why did she write Intuitive Eating and How to Raise Kids Who Love to Eat Healthy?

Why can this be a slippery slope? What about body image? How can we instill a positive body image in our children? Dr. Yami didn't always have a positive body image. Why did she loathe her body and what has she done to feel better in her body? Rejecting weight stigma in kids - why this is such a complex issue and important to understand that poor nutrition and body image can affect anyone. How to work with “picky eaters” in the family (and this includes adults!) What do you think is the best way for a parent to frame a conversation with their children about starting to eat healthier in the household? Eating out! Yes - you can get plant-based meals at places like Taco Bell, Panda Express and Wendy's! Dr. Yami shares some of her favorite finds in fast food restaurants.

Today, we share a modern-day story of David and Goliath with Dr. Baxter Montgomery. In 1997, Dr. Montgomery opened Montgomery Heart and Wellness in Houston, Texas right in the shadows of the powerful and world-renowned campus of the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest medical center. As a board-certified cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Montgomery has treated thousands of patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, but he started to notice something. Even though he employed state-of-the-art procedures, interventions, ablations, and medications, his patients continued to grow weaker and sicker. Montgomery, instead, started researching nutrition's role in disease reversal and found that - you guessed it- PLANTS were the common denominator in determining wellness. Today at Montgomery Heart and Wellness, Dr. Montgomery helps patients achieve optimal health and wellness through various nutrition programs. His goal? To get his patients to think beyond the script, improve their health, and reverse these chronic lifestyle diseases. He truly is a modern-day David fighting a giant Goliath medical system, but much like David, he's ready, willing, and able to slay the dragon of lifestyle disease.

After practicing medicine for several years and raising two children who were officially off to college, Dr. Melissa Sundermann decided it was time to pursue her own passions and expand her knowledge and scope of practice. While she loved being an internal medicine physician in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she wasn't fulfilled by the revolving door aspect of the system - quick appointments, multiple patients, and prescription-based treatment. So, Melissa did what we all do when we're searching for an answer - she went to Google. Lo and behold, she discovered Lifestyle Medicine and knew instantly that she had found her calling - helping people treat and prevent diseases through the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: movement, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky behaviors, positive social connections, and of course a whole-foods plant predominant diet. In this episode, she shares some of the advice and resources she gives to her patients who come in for lifestyle consultations and the great impact she is able to make in her patients' lives. She also talks in-depth about the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet and the pillars of lifestyle medicine for women in perimenopause and menopause, and how she puts these pillars into practice in her own life.

We've created a society that makes everything so simple. With the push of a button, we can have highly-processed food, entertainment, and all of the excess we can handle (and even some we can't). This has led to unprecedented levels of disease, despair, and death. We are caught in the pleasure trap. But there is good news. We DO have the power to override these temptations and allow our bodies to heal. In November 1984, Dr. Alan Goldhamer opened the True North Health Center. They create a health-promoting environment through an SOS-Free Diet (that's salt, oil, and sugar) and water-only fasting. As you can imagine, this monitored approach to healing was once seen as complete quackery. Today? Because of the data, peer-reviewed studies, and astonishing results, fasting, and fasting-mimicking diets are now considered mainstream. Today, Dr. Goldhamer explains how and why it really is healthy to give your body a chance to rest, reboot, and break some of those physiological addictive behaviors that are keeping us sick.
