Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 17

This episode features Matt Ruscigno, R.D..  He is a vegan registered dietitian, endurance athlete, animal activist and author. His athletic endeavors include multiple Ironman races, a cycle ride across America and the Furnace Creek 500 cycle race. His most recent book, Superfoods for Life, Cacao, explores the many health benefits of cacao as well as unique new dishes created by Joshua Ploeg.   Matt is very unbiased when looking at nutrtion data and presents what is know and unknown about the benefits of various foods.   His main take away is that plants are an excellent source of nutrients and antioxidants and that eating a plant based diet rich in superfoods is a great way to help your heart and brain.   Cacao is rich in phytonutrients, healthy fat, and fiber.  You only need to consume a small amount to reap the rewards.  It can be enjoyed simply or added to dishes to bring out an earthiness and old world style.   Check out the book and give the recipes a try.  

Matt's lastest website is Strongesthearts.org.  He can be found on Twitter @MattRuscigno and mattruscigno@gmail.com.

I would be glad to answer any questions at gmail.com  Thanks for listening

I had the distinct honor of interviewing T. Colin Campbell, PhD, on this episode.   He is the author of the famous book The China Study.  This book documents the scientific evidence that plant based nutrition is the optimum diet for health.  His other books include Whole, which discuss the problems with the reductionary approach to dietary studies and conclusions.   His late test book The Low Carb Fraud, bluntly explains the fallacies associated with high protein diets.   He gives fatherly but scientifically great information about the benefits of eating a plant based diet.   I hope you enjoy.

Happy Holidays.Being plant based through the holiday season can be a challenge with all the parties and travel. It always helps to plan ahead and bring a covered dish that you can be safe with if all else fails. There are plenty of great options to fill your table with if you are the host such as green salads with pomegranate seeds and marinated green beans with red peppers for a festive look. We always have stuffed shells with tofu and spinach as well as mushroom meatballs. Pumpernickel bread with spinach dip, humus and roasted red pepper dips are also a hit. Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Rip Esselstyn, the author of Engine2Diet and My Beef with Meat. He is an accomplished athlete as well being a former college swimmer at the University of Texas in Austin as well as a professional triathlete. He is a retired firefighter as well so he has a great understanding of folks that have eaten a very unhealthy high calorie diet and what it takes to provide tasty alternatives. We talk nutrition, triathlon and family. I think you will enjoy. Check out his website at Engine2Diet for information on emersion weekends where you can gain experience first hand with Rip and plant based eating. I can be contacted at jamidulaney@gmail.com. Send me questions to answer on the next show and feel free to leave a good rating on iTunes. I will give you a shout out next week if you do. Thanks.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 12

Tonight I had the great fortune to speak with John Joseph.  He is a musican as well as an author.  He is the lead singer for the Cro-Mags, a New York hardcore punk rock band.  He was raised in foster homes and his autobiography, The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon chronicales his difficult childhood and spiritual journey which includes the adoption of a peaceful plant based lifestyle.  John exemplifies what it is takes to forgive and set an example for others to follow.  He is a true inspiration.   He continues to teach others with his newest release of Meat is for Pussies.   The small but powerful book details why a plant based lifestyle is healing and sustainable for all.   It is extremely well referenced and thought out.   I would encourage you to read his books and share with friends.   His language is explicit and his message is sincere and powerful.   I appreciate the time he shared speaking with me, and I hope to continue to be a teacher of the benefits of a plant based life.   Life affords us all opportunities.   Some are able to see them better and put them to use for the greater good.   John is certainly a lighthouse in this respect.

This episode features Keegan Kuhn the co director of the documentary, Cowspiracy.  This film takes a look into the affect of animal agriculture on green house gas production and water usage and how the major environmental agencies fail to address animal agriculture's influence.   This is a must see documentary rich with references that you can check out yourself. Even if you are not an environmentalist this film provides needed education on the affects of animal agriculture on the environment and why it is not a sustainable option for the future of the planet.  

To download the movie or watch a trailer go to Cowspiracy.com.
