So I'm crazy embarrassed. I recorded an amazing conversation with Dr Michael Greger in November, 2013, and somehow it never made its way onto the podcast.
And since I just recorded an interview with the good doctor on the heels of his runaway bestseller, How Not To Die, I'm sticking this interview in its rightful place, albeit 2 years late.
Dr Michael Greger is the founder of NutritionFacts.org, the single most comprehensive nutrition resource on the internet aimed at the lay public. Featuring over a thousand videos in which Michael “scours the world of nutrition-related research, as published in scientific journals, so you don't have to,” the site covers everything from heart disease to common colds and everything in between.
Rather than just reporting the findings, Michael goes deep and broad, exploring both study quality and the question explored in a scientific/historical context. These videos should be the Khan Academy for medical education – we'd all be a lot better off.
If anyone wants to volunteer to listen to the interview and write up some bullet points for the show notes, I would very much welcome the help!

Looking for Transformational Change?
You know how when you discovered plant-based eating, you basically went, “Holy shit, how come the entire healthcare system isn't totally embracing this as one of the most powerful keys to disease prevention and reversal!”?
That's how I feel now about a psychological approach to transformational change called “Memory Reconsolidation.” Few psychologists have heard about it, and when they do hear the radical transformations it can bring about in a very short time, they're often skeptical to the point of disbelief.
But I've added Memory Reconsolidation work to my own coaching, and can attest to its amazing efficacy. So much so, that I'm devoting the next year to mastering it, studying with the best clinicians and teachers in the world, and then introducing it into health coaching through my trainings.
Right now, I want to triple my coaching practice to get more and more opportunities to do this work. And I'm lowering my fees – a lot – to make it easier for people to work with me.
If you're interested in working with me (and willing to commit to a minimum of 2 months), click the link below to open the form in a new browser tab and I'll get back to you within 3 business days.
Yes, I'm interested in Memory Reconsolidation Coaching.
You CAN Change Other People!
Well, that's what Peter Bregman and I claim in our provocative book of that title.
What we really mean is, you can help the people around you make behavioral changes in their own best interests. If you think you're powerless to help people change, it's because you've been going about it the wrong way.
Discover our straightforward, replicable process here: You Can Change Other People.
