327: Making Space for Brain Health with Dr. Ellie MacGregor01 Sep 202401:02:58

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I interview Dr. Ellie MacGregor - an Integrative and Functional medicine pediatrician - who specializes in brain health, about her journey to holistic medicine.


We explore the profound connection between brain and body health, particularly through the lens of complex conditions like celiac disease and ADHD. Dr. McGregor shares eye-opening case studies, such as that of a college student misdiagnosed with ADHD, whose focus issues were actually due to nutritional deficiencies from undiagnosed celiac disease. We discuss how holistic approaches that consider gut health, nutrition, and overall bodily function can lead to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments, moving beyond simple mental health labels.


Lastly, we dive into the lifestyle factors affecting pediatric health, from dietary habits to sleep routines and the impact of community environments. Dr. McGregor emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy in medical practice, offering practical strategies for families to improve health habits in sustainable ways. We also touch on the pitfalls of over-reliance on supplements and the critical role of conventional medicine during acute crises.


Discussion points: 

  • (00:00) Guest intro, background, path to pediatrics and integrative medicine, addressing mental health in children and combining art and science in her practice. 
  • (10:38) What is NOT taught in medical school, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, and interconnectedness of brain and body. 
  • (19:53) Brain health, lifestyle changes for patients include building trust, diagnostic testing, prioritizing sleep, and balancing downtime. 
  • (27:14) Teenagers, fatigue, the multifactorial nature of ADHD, including genetics, environment, and shifting perceptions of diagnoses. 
  • (38:36) Compassion and empathy are important for children's health, including sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Multi-pronged solutions are needed for families. 
  • (49:09) If you had a magic wand….our schedules would allow for healthy eating, rest, meditation, and overall health 
  • (52:38) Supplements alone are not enough for mental health; third-party testing is important; conventional medicine is necessary; balance and health are key; personal story of celiac disease and food allergies. 
  • (56:33) Closing questions, what we wish people knew

234: PLANTSTRONG – Dr. Yami: How to Love Your Body and Plantstrong Food at Any Age (Veggie Doctor Radio)20 Nov 202201:11:52

As busy families, it’s easy to catch yourself coming and going, shoveling back quick meals without even thinking, and prioritizing convenience over health, especially when you’re constantly pressed for time. 

 

You know you’re supposed to incorporate healthier eating habits for your whole family, but HOW?

 

Enter board-certified pediatrician, certified lifestyle medicine physician, health coach, and mother of two, Dr. Yami! 

 

Dr. Yami’s work and her private practice focus on how families can start to integrate more whole plant-based foods into their diets and adopt other healthy lifestyle habits even when moving a million miles a minute.

 

Easier said than done, right? 

 

Well, Dr. Yami literally wrote the book to help families in this transition. A Parent’s Guide to Intuitive Eating: How to Raise Kids Who Love to Eat Healthy, is packed with research and support to help parents and families work together on creating a healthier lifestyle. 

 

We talk all about body shaming and how to get your kids to eat whole-food plant-based without forcing it down their throats and allowing them to follow their kind of intuitive eating clues. 

 

Even if you’re not a parent, you’ll love the advice of Dr. Yami, especially if you consider yourself to be a picky eater (spoiler alert: most of us are). 

 

As Dr. Yami says, we can’t necessarily control what our bodies look like, but we can control how we view them, and her work is all about starting an ongoing conversation with your family about getting healthier TOGETHER.

 

And that’s what it’s all about!

Today on the show we have the legendary athlete, podcast host, author, and all-around wonderful human being, Rich Roll. Rich is a father and husband, but most of you will recognize his grounding voice from his weekly masterclass in personal and professional development—the Rich Roll Podcast. From a promising Stanford swimmer to a desperate entertainment lawyer caught in the vicious cycle of alcohol abuse, Rich hit rock bottom and used the power of plants and endurance to catapult his life into one of abundance. Between completing the EPIC5 Challenge to writing his best-selling memoir, Finding Ultra, Rich has amassed a life of experiences far beyond the average lifetime. He now dedicates himself to being a facilitator of growth and wellness through the Rich Roll Podcast, which he launched in 2012. Rich is a true original, a multifaceted individual with a bounty to share, and we cover a mountain of topics relating to personal development, relationships, addiction, and behavior. This episode is a philosophical gem.  

 

 

What we discuss in this episode: 

  • Suffering as a teacher / the dividing line between good suffering and bad suffering
  • The double-edged sword of the pursuit of “more” 
  • Alcohol recovery as a process
  • Understanding the emotions behind destructive behaviors
  • How to make amends and become better
  • Relationships/divine love versus transactional love
  • Setting healthy boundaries and habits to do what you actually want to do
  • Follow Rich on Instagram @richroll

315: How Not To Age with Dr. Michael Greger09 Jun 202400:24:07

Join me in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Michael Greger, a leading expert in lifestyle medicine and bestselling author, as we explore longevity and how to achieve it. We'll uncover how diets rich in whole plant foods, as seen in the Blue Zones, contribute to a longer and healthier life. Dr. Greger shares evidence-based strategies from his latest book, "How Not to Age," addressing common misconceptions about dying from old age versus disease and emphasizing the role of heart disease as a primary cause of death. We'll also touch on essential health topics like autophagy and the importance of legumes in our diet.


Dr. Greger dispels myths about air frying and discusses healthier alternatives for obtaining omega-3 fatty acids, given the environmental contaminants in fish. We delve into the importance of fall prevention through exercises and balance training, and explore ways to maintain youthful skin through sun protection and a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables.


Dr. Michael Greger, MD FACLM, is a founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, a renowned physician, bestselling author, and global advocate for evidence-based nutrition. As the founder of NutritionFacts.org, he provides free access to the latest peer-reviewed research in nutritional science through bite-sized videos. Inspired by his grandmother's remarkable recovery from end-stage heart disease through lifestyle changes, Dr. Greger embarked on a mission to educate millions about evidence-based eating. With a career spanning as the Public Health Director at HSUS in Washington, DC, and a background in emerging infectious diseases, Dr. Greger's dedication to public health is unparalleled. He has authored several New York Times bestsellers, including "How Not to Die" and "How Not to Diet," with all proceeds going to charity. His tireless efforts continue to revolutionize the way we approach nutrition and health.


Discussion points: 

  • (0:00:00) Discussion on the misconception that people die of old age instead of disease, with a focus on heart disease as the leading cause of death. 
  • (0:09:55) Examination of the Blue Zones and their diet, emphasizing the high consumption of whole plant foods and minimal processed items. Legumes are number one. Less meat, less soda. 
  • (0:12:00) How cooking methods like deep frying can be harmful to health and using alternatives like pressure steaming and microwaving to preserve nutrients. 
  • (0:14:10) Clarification of myths around air frying and discussion on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from sources other than fish due to environmental contaminants. 
  • (0:16:30) Fall prevention exercises and balance training rather than the dangers of osteoporosis drugs for reduce fracture risks. 
  • (0:18:00) Advice on maintaining youthful skin through sun protection, diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, and staying hydrated. 
  • (0:19:40) Tips for homemade skin care treatments using ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide as cost-effective alternatives to expensive anti-aging creams. 
  • (0:21:03) Final questions - success, goals, dreams, what we wish people knew 
  • Please subscribe, and reach out to us with your comments, questions, and feedback

314: Flourishing in Perimenopause and Menopause Using Lifestyle Medicine with Dr. Nitu Bajekal02 Jun 202401:05:29

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, we learn more about perimenopause and menopause from experienced OB/GYN Dr. Nitu Bajekal. She describes typical symptoms and timelines and what we can do with our diet and lifestyle habits and behaviors to reduce symptoms and support our health and longevity. We also discuss indications for HRT/MHT and who to seek help from. This is an excellent and information-packed episode for people that will be or are going through this transition.


Listen in as Dr. Bajekal shares some of the common and more unusual symptoms of menopause, discussing the importance of recognizing and respecting the varied experiences women may face. From the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy to the role primary care providers play in the management of symptoms, we cover all bases to ensure you are equipped with the information you need. We delve into the power of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine that can bolster health during menopause, discussing strategies for sleep, stress management, social connections, and more, all while maintaining a keen focus on the holistic nature of well-being.


Dr. Nitu Bajekal, MD, is a Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in the UK with over 35 years of experience. Specializing in Lifestyle Medicine, PCOS, and menopause, she's also a skilled surgeon. A Fellow of the Royal College and recipient of the Indian President’s Gold Medal, she's one of the UK’s first board-certified Lifestyle Medicine Physicians. Dr. Bajekal is dedicated to health advocacy, offering credible medical and lifestyle guidance. She co-authored acclaimed books like "Living PCOS Free" and "Finding Me in Menopause," reflecting her commitment to empowering individuals. Passionate about a vegan lifestyle, she integrates her beliefs into her work and life. 


Discussion points: 

  • (00:00) Dr. Nitu Bajekal reframes menopause as an opportunity for renewal and growth. She encourages women to view this life stage positively, dispelling fears and advocating for self-education on the changes to come. 
  • (06:37) Definitions of menopause and perimenopause, discussing the symptoms, onset, and the importance of recognizing this natural transition.  
  • (10:15) Varied experiences women can have with perimenopause and menopause, from minimal symptoms to more severe manifestations.  
  • (18:24) Unusual symptoms of perimenopause, such as joint pain and heightened sensitivities. The importance of not trivializing these changes and the need for proper diagnosis and management.  
  • (23:17) The wide range of menopausal symptoms and the necessity for healthcare providers to take women's experiences seriously.  
  • (26:19) Insights from the book, "Finding Me in Menopause," which addresses Dr. Nitu’s personal journey through menopause. She emphasizes how it can be a time of self-discovery and empowerment for many women. 
  • (34:08) Educating yourself and women in general, easing symptoms, and the six lifestyle pillars, including the critical roles of sleep, nutrition, exercise, and social networks during menopause.  
  • (49:42) Benefits of soy and its role in preventing certain cancers, including prostate, bowel, and colon cancer. The doctors tackle common misconceptions about soy and estrogen, and the benefits of eating beans every day. 
  • (57:08) Who is a candidate, and when, for Hormone Therapy? 
  • (1:01:49) Final questions - success, goals, dreams, what we wish people knew

313: Creating Innovative Lifestyle Medicine Initiatives with Lily Correa, RD26 May 202400:49:54

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I interview Lily Correa, MPH, RD about the incredible and inspiring work that her amazing team is doing at NYC Health + Hospitals. We learn about her plant-based journey and how her work is so gratifying, but requires patience and perseverance. She also gives tips for how other health care professionals can make an impact and influence those around them.


Our conversation is not just about food; it's about rewriting the script of patient care. We unwrap the stories of plant-based athletes defying expectations and the community-centric model that elevates the role of diet and exercise in managing health. The Bellevue Hospital program isn't just a clinic; it's a beacon of change, demonstrating the sustainability and impact of a shared medical appointment model. Lily and her team, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Michelle McMacken, have crafted a legacy of empowerment, enabling patients to flourish in their health journeys through education and whole-person care. Lily's aspiration to author a Spanish-language plant-based cookbook speaks to her dedication to diversifying the nutrition dialogue.


Lily Correa, MPH, RD, is a passionate advocate for plant-based nutrition, seeing the kitchen as a powerful tool for promoting health and wellness. As a registered dietitian and bilingual health educator, she honed her skills at Kaiser Permanente in Riverside, CA, where she led plant-based cooking classes and developed a ‘culinary curriculum.’ Her commitment led her to New York, where she studied health-supportive culinary arts at the Natural Gourmet Institute and contributed to launching the Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine Program at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. In 2022, she became the Director of Education and Training for the Office of Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals Central Office, aiming to expand the Bellevue model citywide. Lily's expertise extends to presenting at academic conferences and community organizations, reflecting her dedication to advancing nutrition and lifestyle medicine, recognized by her Diplomate status from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. 


Discussion points: 

  • (0:00:00 - 0:05:10) Lily Correa introduction and family journey to plant-based diets, and moving to the U.S. from Peru.  
  • (0:05:11 - 0:11:32) Lily's plant-based journey was influenced by her grandfather, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, including the role of diet in managing his Type 2 Diabetes. The impact of immigration on dietary habits and health, as well as misconceptions about plant-based diets for athletes. 
  • (0:11:33 - 0:21:22) Lily's path from English literature to nutrition and public health- highlighting the significance of registered dietitians in culinary medicine.  
  • (0:21:23 - 0:30:44) The growth and success of the Bellevue Hospital team, under Dr. Michelle McMacken's leadership, the clinic's shared medical appointment model, financial sustainability, and the potential influence of the “Bellevue Model” on health care across New York City and beyond. 
  • (0:30:45 - 0:40:28) Strategies for implementing lifestyle medicine programs and building supportive teams within healthcare systems. Patient success stories and the challenges of navigating established healthcare systems. 
  • (0:42:46) Final questions - success, goals, dreams, what we wish people knew, personal and global implications of dietary choices, the concept of legacy through success in healthcare, and the balance between work and personal life. Lily's goal to create a Spanish-language plant-based cookbook and the significance of each individual's story.
