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 [...]
Potatoes Out of School Lunches? What Are They Thinking?!
I heard yesterday on NPR that there is a proposal to get potatoes out of school lunches. What are they thinking?! Of course, it way past time to get the french fries and other forms of fatty fried potatoes like Tater Tots away from our kids, but baked potatoes and other starches like corn, peas [...]
One Word Can Save Your Life: No!
For years I have said that saying “no” to your doctor can save your life. I think that John McDougall, MD , is right on with this one. To this day I still get shocked when I hear clients tell me about the visits to their MD from a simple cold to an ache or [...]
Nathaniel Dominy PhD. and the True Human Diet
I found this interview with Nathaniel Dominy, PhD. about the true human diet to be totally fascinating. The human being is a “starchivore” according to anthropologist, Nathaniel Dominy, PhD. Starch-filled roots, tubers, and seeds are the reason for the success of human primates and this stored energy source accounts for our extraordinary brains. Nathaniel Dominy [...]
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 [...]
Talking to Your Preschooler About Weight
Just as its never too early to teach your preschooler self-hypnosis, it’s never to early to talk to your children about weight and healthy habits. Childhood obesity for the most part is preventable. When kids are given McDonald’s, Kraft Mac N’ Cheese and other processed foods, candy and sodas, they are going to gain weight. [...]

Where do you get your Protein if you don’t eat Meat?
I am constantly asked, “where do you get your protein if you don’t eat meat?” Now, I know that Jesus was just a carpenter in his own town, so I am always pleased when an expert like Dr. John McDougall point out that “unlike fat, protein cannot be stored. When it is consumed in excess [...]
Just a Little More about Starch and The Starch Solution ~ John McDougall, MD
Just a Little More about Starch and The Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougall is the newest addition to the Hypnosis Health Info Article Library.

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 [...]
John McDougall, M.D. ~ A Pill For Every Problem
Dr. John McDougall tells us that we don’t need a pill for every problem. What we really need to do is to eat a healthy diet of plant-based food. Our nation could save so much money if we were to individually reform our own healthcare with healthy eating. We are a society that looks for [...]
Your Teeth and Your Health ~ Dr. John McDougall
Dr. John McDougall tells us about the importance of eating a starch based diet for your teeth and for your health. What you eat affects you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
