It is never too early or too late to experience the health benefits of a whole foods plant based diet. You could be 26 and overweight like the Chocolate Vegan, Phillip Henderson or maybe 3 or 7 like his sons learning to eat fruit and vegetables at an early age. Or perhaps 89 with blockages of the carotid arteries and hypertension. Maybe you have had lung cancer and prostate cancer and are looking to keep the disease from progressing or even keep the chest pain from coronary artery disease from becoming unstable. Maybe you are significantly overweight as are your children and you would like to set an example for them and take control of your health. These are real people that are accepting the challenge to change their health through a whole foods plant based way of life.

I would like to take time to highlight some of the topics covered in the First Annual Charlotte County Plant Based Nutrition Conference. It was a great day in Punta Gorda with over 140 guests to hear Dr. Esselstyn speak as well as his wife Ann. Dustin Rudolph, PharmD spoke on reversing diabetes with a plant based diet. I spoke on the difficulties of transitioning and Evelisse Capo PharmD did a cooking demonstration. The yacht club provided a beautiful setting and our plant based chef Keith from Trabue made a fantastic whole foods no added oil plant based breakfast and lunch. The day progressed flawlessly and all seemed to enjoy and leave smiling. I hope many more can join us next year.

Welcome. This episode features the co author of Younger Next Year, Chris Crowley. He is a lawyer that discovered life could get even better next year with exercise and a healthy diet. He took what he learned from his inital visit with his doctor, Henry Lodge, M.D. and together they researched and presented the reasons we need to exercise six days a week until we die. That is if we want to live until we die versus continue to decline until we die. Not only do we need to exercise but we need to have good nutrition i.e. whole foods plant based and also commitment. We function best in packs so having isolation is not good. We need to have a purpose and people we care about until we die. We need to move our bodies and expand our lungs in order to keep this wonderful body functioning well. It is possible to be better day after day no matter what age. Sure there will be good and bad days but the slope should stay level or increase instead of decline. Listen and enjoy. Check out the website youngernextyear.com and the books: Younger Next Year and Younger Next Year Exercise Program.

Dr. Michael Gregor is the founder of the non profit website, Nutritionfacts.org where he reviews all of the scientific literature on nutrition and presents weekly videos as well as a biweekly newsletter. If you have not subscribed I would highly recommend it and I do on a daily basis. He has now taken those videos, and added content to publish a book called How Not To Die. This book is divided into 2 parts the first being nutrition as it relates to the most frequent causes of death and the second part describing what foods are the most nutritious in order to live long and well. There are many references and fun facts that he includes along with a description of the science. I hope you enjoy.

Welcome and Happy Holidays!. My memories of the holidays are of my grandmother baking cookies and making candy to give to others and to have at our Christmas gatherings. It was a very special time of the year. She would let me help make the cookies and we would put them in tins upstairs in a cold room to store and admire. I have tried to continue the tradition with my family. Since becomig vegan we have veganized our favorite recipes but they were still full of vegan oils. We are now trying to make them a little more healthy adding nuts for crusts and fruit as sweeteners. We found the Buterflyvegan bakery at the Sacramento farmers market and enjoyed persimmon pie, chocolate pie, rum cake and apple crumble. Parvonah is offering a discount on your first order if you use the code, PBW on the butterflyvegan.com website. I know you will enjoy.

Happy Plant Based Thanksgiving. This is the time of year to give and be greatful. What a better way than introducing friends and family to wonderful, delicious vegetable and fruit dishes. How about a vegan no oil cookie exchange or even yet a vegetable dish card exchange. By bringing and making dishes for others they learn and you get to eat healthy food. Remember it is a journey for everyone but all of us face challenges early on so support each other.
