The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, I'll summarize findings from a massive undertaking where international scientists and researchers came together and reviewed hundreds of trials and finally came to a scientific consensus about soy.  I'll also answer all of your burning questions about soy, including:

• is soy linked to cancer?
• is soy adequate for children?

Y'a une immense différence entre "information" et "transformation". 

Vous pouvez avoir toute l'éducation au monde, mais si vous ne savez pas comment vous adapter aux curveballs de la vie, ou bien vous ne savez pas comment intégrer des nouvelles habitudes dans votre vie déja très occupée, cette information est gaspillée.

Durant cette épisode, on parlera de concepts comme le stade de changement, la conviction cognitive versus émotive, la confiance et les stratégies SMART.

Breast cancer is bad news.  One out of every 8 women will get diagnosed and 1 out of every 30-40 will die from it.  Keeping a straight poker face while nervously and cautiously palpating a suspicious breast mass is an art, but unfortunately we get quite good at it.

Most people aren't ready to change.  But do you know who is?  The people whom I've just given a crushing diagnosis to.  It’s impressive how these people will clean up their nutrition, start exercising, walk in nature and change their outlook on life.  We have a lot to learn from cancer survivors and they are truly the most fascinating and beautiful people I know.  If only there was a way to help people prevent cancer before it happened.

Modern medical advances and pharmaceuticals are among the main reasons that we live longer lives while having unhealthy lifestyles.  I wish modern medicine and lifestyle medicine would get married and have children, so we could bridge the gap between them, instead of seeing them in a divisive and polarized way.  It doesn't always have to be one or the other.  We should be fighting together towards a common goal.

I do understand wanting to take a more "natural" approach, and personally, I would rather modify my lifestyle than take meds, even if not all doctors or patients would agree.  What I can't comprehend though is people choosing “natural” only when it suits them, while eating "unnatural" and highly processed food day after day, meal after meal.  Have the big food corporations won?  Or did we just give up?

Weight management is hard.  Two thirds of people are overweight or obese, and although fat shaming is despicable, talking about the health risks associated with carrying excess body fat shouldn’t ever be off limits, or taboo.  I truly believe that knowledge is power, and anyone looking for an optimal body weight should understand the nuts and bolts of the process.  Although I don’t pretend to be a weight loss expert, I do believe everyone looking for optimal health and body weight should be made aware of the building blocks of calorie balance.

Une de mes premières inquiétudes entourant ma transition vers un régime à base de plantes était son impact sur ma performance athlétique.

Les protéines, les calories, les glucides ?

Comment naviguer ce nouveau régime tout en performant au niveau élite?

Heureusement, mon régime à base de plantes est un facteur très important qui à aidé a mes qualifications aux championnats mondiaux du Ninja à Las Vegas en 2022 et Orlando en 2023.

Voici comment s'y prendre.

Recently, I was asked a great question, and one that I get often as a primary care physician:  “What foods could potentially alleviate menopausal symptoms?”.  Women, this one’s for you, but men, stick with me cause your wives, moms and daughters are counting on you.  

Although menopause can reek havoc on a women’s physical and mental health, this particular person was inquiring specifically about vasomotor symptoms, also called hot flashes or “flushes”, where sudden blood vessel dilation causes a rapid increase of heat-generating blood flow to the skin.  This bothersome symptom can affect up to 75-80% of post-menopausal women, but I’m happy to inform those affected that there are some options other than meds.  Let’s address menopausal hot flashes in more detail.

How could food possibly affect mental health?  That doesn't make sense.  How could something we put in our mouths possibly have anything to do with our moods?  Just so happens that our minds and our guts are more connected than we previously thought. 

Our brain relies on 3 specific chemicals, called neurotransmitters, to convey chemical messages that we then translate into moods and emotions.  You've probably heard of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline).  They play an important role in mood regulation and are the target of most of our medications we use to treat mental illness.  But we also have other important mechanisms that influence our mental well-being.

Although worlds apart, the gut and the brain are completely intertwined.  More than 95% of serotonin receptors are actually in the gut, not the brain.  It’s no surprise that medication used to treat depression and to increase serotonin can have side effects related to gastro-intestinal upset.  Our brain and gut both originate from the same cells in the embryo, and although they separate themselves from each other physically, they remain attached through the vagus nerve and through chemical signaling from bacteria residing in our colon.  Wait, what?  Bacteria in our colon have an impact on our moods?  Yes, you read that correctly.

Raising two plant-based kids wasn’t easy, but it was worth it!  The story starts with Zara, my first born, who started off being asthmatic and suffering from milk protein allergies and eczema.  She would rash around her mouth after breastfeeding and had traces of blood in her diaper.  The first ER visit for her asthma was a scary one, but that got us on the path we are now.  I quickly started making the association between cow’s milk, dairy products and her symptoms, since they coincided perfectly.  Then Kassi is born in 2014, and has the same issues.  Again my wife cuts out all dairy from her diet to be able to pursue breastfeeding, something she held close to her heart for multiple reasons. 

Simultaneously, I was also going through medical issues myself.  I detail those in my second blog post.  Put all of that together, and my last episode of facial swelling was the final draw.  I then discovered the whole food plant-based diet and all its amazing benefits.
