Plant-Based Cardiology in Practice with Shane Williams, MD: PYP 378
Shane Williams, MD, has been practicing plant-based (or as I would say, evidence-based) cardiology in Canada for nine years now.
With hundreds of patients and lots of experience with what works and what doesn’t in terms of advocacy, education, and support, Dr Williams is a valuable resource for plant-based physicians everywhere.
He began his cardiology practice in 2006, and stumbled across The China Study in early 2011, and immediately shifted his own diet to put it to the test. A bunch of pounds and a 20% cholesterol drop in just a few weeks, later, Dr Williams was a convert, and began talking to his patients about diet and lifestyle.

We are Our Own Healers with Benjamin Alter, ND: PYP 342
Benjamin Alter, ND, treats his patients as if they actually have the power to heal themselves.
This power introduces a wonderful and frustrating messiness into the scientific pursuit of truth. It’s hard to control for. It’s hard to randomize for. And it’s hard to replicate.
In fact, science has dealt with this messiness by, at best, pretending it doesn’t exist, and at worst, actively denigrating people’s subjective experiences of illness and healing.
In our conversation, Ben and I talk about his definition of health, and how it connects to freedom.
