In 1984, True North Health Center opened their doors in Santa Rosa, California offering an alternative way to heal from disease and lose weight. Since that time, Dr. Alan Goldhamer and his team have supervised over 25,000 water-only fasts – with results that are astounding - disease reversal, weight loss, and a return to metabolic health.

The term “fasting” is all over the place, with intermittent fasting and fasting mimicking diets in the mainstream media. Dr. Goldhamer gives us a quick primer on all of the differences and talks candidly about the importance of diet and lifestyle changes to lifelong health.

As he stresses, a water-only fast – or any fast for that matter - will do no good if you go right back to eating the salty, oily, and sugary foods that destroyed your health in the first place.

Dr. Goldhamer and his colleague, Dr. Tashia Myers, just released the new book Can Fasting Save Your Life? – and this is what we discuss today.

So, is fasting a good choice for you? Let’s find out with Dr. Alan Goldhamer.

For over 30 years, Robert Cheeke has made a profound impact on the vegan and plant-based lifestyle, both as a champion bodybuilder and a NY Times bestselling author of the book, The Plant-Based Athlete.

His latest book, The Impactful Vegan: How You Can Save More Lives and Make the Biggest Difference for Animals and the Planet is a blueprint for how we can use our time, energy, skills, talents, and resources to make the greatest impact in our daily lives.

Cheeke discusses his definition of effective vegan altruism using your "STRONG-V" to affect change. The episode explores entrepreneurship challenges in the vegan industry, the impact of women and minorities in veganism, capitalizing on your personal strengths, and the importance of progress over perfection.

Yes, this book is about becoming a more impactful vegan, but the pages and the examples translate into anything that holds our hearts.

June is National Men’s Health Month and we’re honored to feature today's guest, Robert Klein, aka "Broccoli Rob."

In June of 2017, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with testicular cancer, throwing his young family and career into a tailspin.

Research led him to the The China Study and the undeniable benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet, which he adopted virtually overnight.

Today, he is an avid athlete, health coach, and vocal advocate for men's health. He is a licensed Food for Life Instructor teaching and you can learn more about his upcoming classes HERE.

We hear a lot about the importance of self-exams for women’s breast cancer, but we just don’t hear enough about men’s health and prevention.

Thank you, Robert, for being so open and honest with your journey. It will save lives!
