The podcast to kick off your New Year's Resolutions! Vegan Cardiologist, Past President and current Fellow and Trustee of the American College of Cardiology and Head of the Cardiology Department at Rush Medical Center, Dr. Kim Williams joins me for an episode of Awesome Vegans in Chicago.

Dr. and I dish on the scientific facts from proven studies about the benefits of a plant-based diet, including lower mortality rates. Dr. Kim discusses the four properties in animal-based products that cause heart disease, his 7 indicators for heart health, and his favorite party tricks. (Spoiler alert: it's an app to test your heart health! Don't you want that?!).

Finally, Dr. Kim shares with Elysabeth why he feels it is "our patriotic duty" to be vegan. For more information, visit http://ElysabethAlfano.com
