Jami Dulaney MD Wellness Podcast

This episode features Gordon Harvey, a college professor and department chairman who took back his health through plant based nutrition and exercise. He has been on quite a journey growing up in the deep south eating southern comfort food and gradually learning to cook plant based meals.  He  has been able to eliminate the need for blood pressure medication and is enjoying the challenges of ultra running.   

This is another testiment of the ability of dietary change to profoundly impact someones life.   I hope you enjoy.

His website is Thisrunninglife.net.  There he also archived his podcast running to disney which documents his training for his first marathon at Disney World. 

This episode features an interview with Dr. Alan Goldhamer.  He is a plant based Osteopathic Physician and Chiropractor who is the director of TrueNorth Health Center located in Santa Rosa, California.  He is the co-author of the book The Pleasure Trap as well as published studies on the safety of water fasting.  

We discuss the benefits of water fasting to break the addiction of sugar, salt and oil as a means to transform into a lifelong nutrition plan of a plant based diet sugar, salt and oil free.  

The main message of this podcast is that people can take back their health and get off medications or avoid the common diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.  This is not merely a supervised fast and then back to the standard American diet but a transition into a new healthy lifestyle.  It is easy to look around and see others eating whatever they want and seemingly appearing relatively healthy.   The reality is that they could be much more pain free, medicine free and more active well into advanced years.   This is not about supplements but of healthful natural eating.   I hope you enjoy.
