    485: Doctors Gone Rogue 4: Prescribing Plants Over Pills: Holistic Heart Health with Dr. Joel Kahn and Honoring the Legacy of Dr. John McDougall
    Jul 10 2024
    In our final episode of the "Doctors Gone Rogue" series, we’re paying tribute to a true legend in the field of holistic medicine. Today, we honor the remarkable legacy of Dr. John McDougall, who passed away last month. I'm also excited to feature the incredible work of Dr. Joel Kahn, known as "America’s Healthy Heart Doc." Both are plant-based doctors who believe in food as medicine. First up, let’s talk about Dr. Joel Kahn. Dr. Kahn transitioned from traditional cardiology to holistic practices after experiencing the profound benefits of a plant-based vegan diet himself. Believing in the power of nutrition for heart health, he now focuses on non-traditional diagnostic tools and prevention tactics. This interview feels more like a night at the Laugh Factory than a conversation with a cardiologist! Dr. Kahn’s blend of facts and humor had us in stitches as we covered topics like nutrition, longevity, sex, stress, and “how not to die!” Next, we turn our attention to the beloved Dr. John McDougall. A physician and nutrition expert, Dr. McDougall dedicated his life to teaching the power of a whole-food, starch-based diet in preventing and reversing chronic diseases. His journey began after a massive stroke at age 18, which led him to embrace holistic, plant-based nutrition as a path to true healing. Dr. McDougall’s legacy is monumental. He founded the renowned McDougall Program, authored best-selling books, and passionately advocated for dietary therapy as a cornerstone of health. His impact on the medical community and the lives of countless patients is immeasurable. On June 25th, Dr. McDougall’s daughter, Heather McDougall, announced his passing. Dr. McDougall leaves behind quite the legacy, and we re-play this interview to honor that legacy today. So, let’s dive into this special episode, the final episode of the "Doctors Gone Rogue" series, honoring the legacies of Dr. Joel Kahn and Dr. John McDougall. These two plant-based doctors are living proof of the healing power of nutrition. They have bucked the traditional route of medicine and truly embody the notion that food heals.

    Jun 26 2024
    Today we honor the Mavericks in Herbology, Holistic Healing, & Traditional Medicine. In this limited series, we’re diving into the stories of the game changers—the outcasts and outliers who dared to think differently. They went against their traditional training and faced skepticism from their peers. But their persistence paid off. Their patients healed, their families thrived, and they themselves found renewed health. These are their stories. Stories of courage, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of healing. Join us as we celebrate the doctors who dared to go rogue and, in doing so, changed the landscape of medicine forever. This is episode three of "Doctors Gone Rogue" on the Food Heals Podcast. Dr. Bill Rawls Meet Dr. Bill Rawls, MD, a fourth-generation physician who bucked tradition after facing a personal health crisis with Lyme disease. Realizing the limitations of conventional medicine, he discovered the healing power of herbs and embraced integrative health.

    482: Doctors Gone Rogue 1: Celebrating the Change-Makers in Naturopathy, Holistic Veterinary Care, & Traditional Chinese Medicine
    Jun 13 2024
    Today we celebrate the innovators, the mavericks, and the rebels who went rogue. In the words of Steve Jobs, “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” That iconic quote by Steve Jobs perfectly captures the essence of our new limited series, "Doctors Gone Rogue." These are the trailblazers who saw beyond the confines of traditional medicine. They believed in the body’s incredible ability to heal itself when given the right tools and environment. Dr. Edward Group Meet Dr. Edward Group, a chemist on the path to becoming a heart surgeon who realized that allopathic medicine treated symptoms but not the root cause. After losing both parents to cancer, he shifted his focus to holistic health, founding Global Healing to help people heal naturally. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Edward Group on episode 346 of Food Heals.

Now, he's improving and extending the lives of pets other vets had given up on. Learn more about Dr. Marty at DrMartysPets.com. And my interview with Dr. Marty was so good, that we made it a two-parter. Listen to two full episodes with Dr. Marty Goldstein on episodes 439 and 440 of Food Heals.

  • 480: Why Sickness is Good Business and The History of Healthcare (Red Pill Revolution Part 3)

    480: Why Sickness is Good Business and The History of Healthcare (Red Pill Revolution Part 3)
    May 29 2024
    In the last two episodes of Food Heals, we introduced you to Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, the authors of The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas. Today, you'll hear a reading from Chapter 8 of their book, entitled, "Dis-ease" In this episode, you'll learn how even health, one of the most sacred human rights, has been corrupted by the System. Ask anyone from any country if people are healthier or sicker than fifty years ago, and the answer is always "Sicker!" Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and mental health issues are skyrocketing, even in developing countries adopting modern lifestyles. There's no question that modern humanity is getting sicker. This suggests two things: our current way of living is causing more health problems, and modern medicine is not effectively treating chronic conditions. These points are hard to dispute, but could this situation be deliberate? Why would anyone want to cause or allow widespread illness? And why offer ineffective medical treatments? The answer lies in the System, which benefits from our sickness. It turns out, sickness is good business. Next up, Chapter 8 of The Red Pill Revolution.

  • 479: A Natural Treatment for Osteoporosis and Arthritis That Works (Red Pill Revolution Part 2)

    479: A Natural Treatment for Osteoporosis and Arthritis That Works (Red Pill Revolution Part 2)
    May 25 2024
    In our last episode, we introduced you to Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, the brilliant minds behind The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas. Today, we delve deeper into their groundbreaking work. In this episode, you'll get a sneak peek into the book's powerful content. We start with Chapter One, setting the stage for the revelations that follow. Stick around until the end, where we reveal an all-natural treatment for osteoporosis and arthritis that actually works! Why are alcohol and tobacco legal, but psychedelics outlawed? Why are antidepressants handed out like candy? Why is something as addictive as sugar promoted on the “healthy eating” guide? We are constantly reminded that our noble leaders and institutions are busy working on solutions. Surely, the scary world of today must give way to a future of peace and prosperity... someday soon! But of course, it never happens, does it? New wars are justified, countries are bombed, citizens flee around the world, epidemics and famines come and go, oil is spilled, rainforests are cleared, stocks go up, and all the while people everywhere seem to be getting sicker and weaker. The same question always hangs over everything: with all the taxes we pay and all the great advances in technology and learning, why doesn’t it ever seem to get better? The most obvious answer must be that a better world was never the intention. If you look carefully, the situation everywhere seems to be getting worse. That can only be deliberate. We are told that the world is making progress, but the reality is that it gets better only for a select few. By any sensible measure, the rest of us are constantly slipping further into physical, mental, and spiritual sickness. Illness must be part of the plan. Enter Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, co-authors of The Red Pill Revolution and today's guests on Food Heals. This book may be a hard pill to swallow, but it's a necessary conversation for anyone wishing to sanely navigate the chaotic and predatory culture we all find ourselves in. We all know something is just not right. We all sense the imbalance, injustice, and insanity. But what can we actually do about it? Who and what can be trusted?
