Our episode is something different for our usual type of guest. I’m interviewing a gentleman who’s going to make a significant impact on your life. No matter what you think about diet and food, this next guest is going to change that forever. He’s a renowned cardiologist, a New York Times best-selling author and medical researcher. During his 40-year career in Medicine, he had performed over 10,000 heart surgeries and developed life-saving medical technology and is the former president of the American Heart Association. With all that success, you think he would have been content but something wasn’t right. People were coming to him with their internal organs in terrible shape, with autoimmune diseases, severe allergies and worse. In other countries, many of these conditions didn’t even exist. A simple thought turned into a big question. One day a patient who was denied surgery because his heart was so occluded actually came back and explained that a new diet and supplement program dramatically improved his almost fatal heart condition while losing 45 pounds of fat. My guest was skeptical, but tests proved he really had. How could that happen? This doctor knew supplements don’t work. Down the rabbit hole he went and he never looked back. He quit his job and opened a wellness center focusing entirely on healthy eating as the solution to all that ails us humans. Then he wrote two critically acclaimed books on the subject. His most recent The Plant Paradox, reached number one on the New York Times Best-Seller list.
