Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Welness Podcast-Episode 81 with Jim Gray

Run 100 kilometers on a plant based diet ?  Yes that is what Jim Gray does.  And he runs without migraines that he used to get eating the Standard American Diet.   No fancy food just plants.  Watermelon, dates and bananas to run long.  No protein shakes or pizzas with cheese.   No hypertension anymore either after taking BP pills for decades.  Teenage kids are no problem in Jim's house when it comes to plant based nutrition.  What more can a parent do to assure healthy children.  Amazing.  Enjoy my interview with Jim Gray, an everyday inspiration.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 80-Sharing the message with Academy of Family Practiioners

I had the opportunity to speak at the South Carolina Academy of Family Practice in Hilton Head, South Carolina last weekend.  There were some plant based doctors that were happy to be supported.  The others were very receptive to the concept of food as medicine.   At least they were receptive to food could be the reason for disease.  I believe we as physicians  need to reclaim our role in the community as teachers of health and wellness as opposed to pusher of the latest pharmaceutical discovery.  By educatng we can empower people to take control of their health which makes us all feel good.  No brainer.  

If you have not tried the Happy Cow app do so.   We have found some amazing plant based food and have met some really interesting people.   Plant based restarants tend to be happy places.   Do not settle because you are traveling.   

I am very happy to share some of my success stories and I have told those patients and they are quite happy to be mentioned.  

If you have a story or question email me at jamidulaney@gmail.com.  Check the website out at doctordulaney.com   Thanks for listening. 

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 79- Sharing some of my stories

I am an endurance athlete.  Not an Olympian or a "contender".  A middle of the pack marathon runner and triathlete.  That does not mean I do not have the desire to improve or become faster.  Nor does it mean I use age as an excuse.  To the contrary I need to push to stay ahead of that downhill curve people say is coming.  Not yet.  I think it is like everything else we set goal that we do not alway achieve but that does not make them unworthy of the effort.   The same goes for nutrtiion.  Try to make each day a little better. 

I am still trying to make my medical practice better.   Does practice make perfect?  Probably not.  But I am still enjoying the ride thanks to the benefits of teaching patients about a whole foods plant based diet.   This weekend I have the opportunity to speak at a family medicine conference.  I hope to share my success with them and help them to start adding nutrition to their therapy and maybe even the first line of therapy.  Email me at jamidulaney@gmail.com or doctordulaney.com  Thanks for listening. 

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellnes Podcast Episode 78-Junk Food to Health Food

It really is not that easy.  If it were more people would be plant based.  There are certainly obstacles and some may live in the same household.  Be brave.  Choose  health.  Stay strong.  I enjoy every plant strong meal.  Not only because they are nutrient dense but because they taste good.  Experiment maybe one time per week and keep the good recipes that your family enjoy.  Try a new vegetable or fruit each week.  Check out Instagram for some healthy meals.  The winner this week for me was eggplant bacon.  I never really cared for pork bacon but this has a really good flavor.   

Exercise is not going to cure you but it will add to your overall health by making your bones stronger and your body more efficient and flexible.  Don't accept loosing mobility as a part of aging.   I recently did a yoga class on the beach and the instructor appeared at least in her sixties but her mobility was more in her twenties.  Set goals and go for them.  Don't settle.  You probably will not become the perfect plant strong vegan overnight but a step in the right direction each day adds up.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellnes Podcast Episode 77-Salute to the Military

Welcome to episode 77!.  Just me this episode.  It is Memorial Day Weekend.  A time to honor the fallen and remember their sacrafice for us.  It is also a time of gathering friends and neighbors for cookouts.   That means grilling for the masses.   And a scary time to be plant based, potentially.  But fear not there are plant based salads that would turn a carnivores head and Riblets!  Seitan riblets on the grill and veges on the grill.  Corn in the husk with red pepper sauce for dipping.   Giant fruit salads.  The best of both worlds.  Eating til full but not feeling poorly because of the nutrient density of the food.  I give you some insight to day one of my nutrition class and we discuss some dishes I have been enjoying.   Contact me with questions at jamidulaney@gmail.com or doctordulaney.com.  

Enjoy!

"Share goodwill with others".  That is exactly what preparing a whole plant food nutrient dense meal is doing for your friends and family.  Heart disease is the number one cause of death and entirely preventable.  We are intolerant of motor vehicle defects that cause fatal crashes yet eating the Standard American Diet which leads to heart disease that kills more than 700,000 people each year.  Dr Joel Furhman has just release his latest book called, The End of Heart Disease.  He explains how to live a heart disease free life by eating a nutrient dense whole foods plant based diet.  The side effects of course are tons of energy, lower risk of cancer and dementia.   No muscle aches or liver damage. 

Check out his book and video at Say No to Heart Disease.  It is pretty simple.  I highly recommend his Banana Oat Cookies and his Healthy Chocolate Cake as well.  But remember to eat a giant green salad and a big bowl of vegetable soup first.  Send me questions at jamidulaney@gmail.com and check out my website at doctordulaney.com.
