Eating for disease reversal and planetary health with Dr Michael Klaper

Bear with me as I blush over Dr, Michael Klaper coming on to my podcast, one of my favorite plant-based physicians for over a decade. It takes me a few minutes to get all the “thank you’s” out of my system before we dive into an inspiring conversation about not only the science but the logic of plant-based eating for everything - for your health, the health of the planet that our children and future generations will grow up on, and for the animals.

Dr. Klaper is a general practitioner, a 40+ year vegan, and a picture of health. At 74 years old Klaper shares evidence based nutrition with his youthful enthusiasm and has decades of experience reversing patients chronic illness to thrive with plant-based nutrition and integrative medicine. He now lectures at medical schools across the country to empower the next generation of doctors to better heal their patients with plant-predominant nutrition and lifestyle changes to get to the root cause rather than just treating the symptom..

In this episode dr. Klaper passionately covers
