Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 42 plant based Doctor's office

Welcome to the podcast.   I hope to share with you my plant based journey as I teach my patients how to live healthier through a whole foods plant based no added oil diet.   It can be quite a shock.   A shock to find out that you are ill and a shock to find out that you can get better by eating a whole foods plant based diet.   It is not on TV.   You will not hear many traditional physicians discuss it or recommend it.   Yet the science is there.   I am here and passionate about spreading this science because it works.   There is nothing more rewarding than to see patients cure their angina by eating greens or seeing patients able to discontinue medications.   Listen and learn.   Email me with questions at jamidulaney@gmail.com.    Visit my website at doctordulaney.com.   

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 41 with Kathy Grant

Thank you for listening.    My first apology is to Dr. Walter M. Bortz II, MD.   I call him Dr. Neal Bortz during the interview.   He is the author of Roadmap to 100.  This episode features the plant based journey of Kathy Grant.   She discusses her journey to health through a plant based diet.   She is active in a plant based community potluck group that meets in St Petersburg, Florida.   I think the support from such groups is fantastic.   Ideas and recipes can be shared.   One can get motivation from others on a similar path.   

I am looking for people with arrhythmias on a plant based diet that are athletes.   I would like to hear your story for an upcoming discussion with Dr. Paul Thompson on arrhythmias and endurance sports.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 40-Musings by the Doc

I went to see PlantPureNation last night.   Nelson Campbell et all made a stellar effort in writing and producing this movie.   I had a very interesting night.   Usually, I am surrounded by "plant based foodies" in these situations but last night I listened to a frank review of plant based documentary films.   My mother has said "the truth hurts" sometimes and it does.   But Colin Campbell says it sets you free.   And I have lived life on the underdog team so I am used to dusting off and going back in the game.   This episode has a little of all of that so I hope you can sympathize with me a little or even give me a hopeful shout out.    I believe eating and living a whole plant foods no added oil diet is the way to go to promote health and compassion for others so I will keep looking to find more ways to get the work out and support others  in their quest for health.   Enjoy!

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 38 with Nelson Campbell

This episode features Nelson Campbell, the director of the newly released documentary PlantPureNation.   This film features his 10 day jumpstart program taking ordinary folks and providing them with a whole foods plant based diet and observing the transformation.   He documents metrics such as blood pressure, glucose, weight and cholesterol.   The film also shows the involvement of industry on our government policies with regard to our foods.   Nelson is the son of T. Colin Campbell and as a family they are helping to educate families everywhere on the merits of a plant based diet.   The film opened in Los Angeles July4, 2015 and I am proud to announce the opening here in Ft. Myers, Florida, July 23, 2015.   Log onto Fandango.com for advanced ticket purchase.   I hope to see you there.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 37 with Sharon Palmer, RD

Thanks for listening to Episode 37 with Sharon Palmer, RD.   She is a registered dietitian and author.   She has a very informative Blog: The PlantPowered Blog in which she presents scientific article reviews, recipes, and interviews.   There you can register for her newsletter full of great weekly information as well.  Her books: Plant Powered Diet:The Lifelong Eating Plan for Achieving Optimal Health Beginning Today and Plant Powered for Life can be found on Amazon.   

Sharon has a unique background in that she trained to be a dietiian in one of the "Blue Zones" in Loma Linda, California.   The campus was vegetarian so there was not the bias as seen in a lot of  meat and dairy sponsored programs.   She was also raised predmominately vegetarian so she understood the benefits of healthy eating from an early age.   Nevertheless, she is very aware of the many journeys to plant based eating and is helpful and informative for all along the way.   It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to speak with such a caring and knowledgeable person.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 36 with Michaela Copenhaver

Welcome and thanks for listening.   Today  I speak with Michaela Copenhaver.  She is an elite rower hoping to make the USA Olympic rowing team as a vegan.   She eats plant based whole foods and is doing excellent as an elite rower.   This sport combines strength and endurance.  The spring season races are 2 kilometers of all out rowing burning a tremendous amount of calories.   Why this interview? Well It is cool to speak with an olympic hopeful.  It is even more cool to speak with an elite vegan athlete.   If she can do this on a vegan diet at an elite level then us regular weekend warriors can as well.   She eats a whole foods diet with very little in the way of supplements.  She is injury free and energetic.  The one thing she has noticed most since being vegan is the lack of illness.   I hope you find some pearls in this episode and give eating a whole foods plant based diet a try whether you are an competitive athlete or someone trying to regain their health.  Follow her on her blog, The Lightweight Eats or on Twitter.   Contact me at jamidulaney@gmail.com with questions.   

Enjoy and eat plant strong.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 35 with Karla Dumas RD

I had the pleasure of chatting with  the registered dietitian for the American Humane Society, Karla Dumas.   She is part of a unique program that the Humane Society has launched to educate and intiate institutions on developing Meatless Monday and Lean Green Days.   They have developed a host of roll out materials and ideas to get programs the support they need to reduce their meat consumption and promote plant based healthy nutrition.   She has combined her love of animals and plant based nutrition to start these programs in hospitals, county schools and universities.   American University in Washington, D.C. has developed a strong plant based food service promoting animal awareness and healthy eating as one such examples.   Did you know that Meatless Monday first appeared during World War I?   This was seen as an act of patriotism and conservation of resources.  If you have not tried being plant based yet,  how about starting with Meatless Monday.   Let me know if you are new to this.   Send me questions or comments to Jamidulaney@gmail.com.   Write me a great iTunes review if you enjoy this podcast.   Thank you for listening.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 33 with Eric, an ICU nurse

I think you will enjoy Episode 33 with Eric.  He is an ICU Nurse and Director of an intensive care unit.  He has had a struggle with his weight for a number of years.   He has seen Forks over Knives and realizes that a plant based diet is the way to health but has had difficulty implementing the changes.   We discuss his food addiction and  awareness of what a healthy lifestyle has to offer.   Eric was gracious and candid and I thank him for sharing his story.   I know it will inspire others that are having similar struggles.   I hope that along with him we can make healthcare workers beacons of health and motivation to others.
