Protect Thyroid With Produce
The more produce that you eat, the more that you are doing to protect your thyroid from cancer. For years now, doctors like John McDougall, Neal Barnard, T. Collin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, Dean Ornish, Joel Fuhrman and others have taught us about the dangers of eating chicken, fish, beef, pork and all dairy products. Study [...]
Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer
I wish I could do a video in front of the billboard Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer, but this will have to do. Next time you are standing in line at Costco or the ballpark for a hotdog, remember that colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancers in the United States, attacking 140,000 Americans [...]
Mom’s Yogurt Puts Baby at Risk for Asthma
Pregnant Mom’s – Did you know that eating yogurt puts your baby at risk for asthma?

Yet, yogurt is marketed and thought of by many as “healthy”. [...]
Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With Dr. Neal Barnard
I found Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With Dr. Neal Barnard, by Michael Tobias, to be a well written and informative interview. Neal Barnard, MD, is the president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM). As you may know, I firmly believe that we should use food as our [...]
Cupcakes May Be Addictive, Just Like Cocaine
I’ve said for years that foods like cupcakes are as addictive as cocaine and there is now a growing body of scientific research to back up this statement. In his book Breaking the Food Seduction, Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) writes about the addictive qualities of foods and [...]
Omega-3 Fatty Acids Increase Prostate Cancer Risk
According to Neal Barnard, MD, the President of The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM), omega-3 fatty acids increase the risk of prostate cancer. Have you been believing all the hype about omega-3? Well, think again. In many recent studies, fish oil has not lived up to its marketing claims. Specifically, it is no help [...]
Neal Barnard MD, President of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
I have been along time supporter of Neal Barnard, MD and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. In fact, prior to publishing my book, Becoming Slender For Life, Dr. Neal Barnard’s book, Breaking the Food Seduction was part of the introductory kit at Slender For Life™. I have studied nutrition for the past 16 years [...]
Pros and Cons of Going Vegan
I was thrilled when I heard that Jean Enersen of KING 5 was talking about the pros and cons of going vegan on HealthLink. I admit, I also had a bit of trepidation about what cons they might conjure up. Thankfully, I never heard any cons. My Seattle based Slender For Life™ weight loss program [...]

Which Veg MD Is Right?
I am often asked which Veg MD should you believe? Dr. John McDougall? Dr. Neal Barnard? Dr. Dean Ornish? Dr. Joel Fuhrman? Dr. Esselstyn? Yes – they all have differences – but so what?! I really think that Jeff Novick his it right in this video. He says, “The problem is in the question. Why [...]
Why Hypnosis To Eat Healthy?
You would think that it would be a no-brainer to eat healthy so why would hypnosis be necessary? I recently received the following comment on my post that was titled, The Starch Solution with John McDougall: “Why does one need hypnosis to go from the standard American diet to a starch-based diet? It really only [...]
Forks Over Knives ~ Dr. Neal Barnard
I can’t wait until Forks Over Knives with Dr. Neal Barnard comes to Bainbridge Island. I am really excited about watching this movie. According to Neal Barnard, M.D., plant-based eating is the cornerstone to treating type 2 diabetes. Part of the value of a low-fat, plant-based diet is that it is very low in saturated [...]
