About Dr. Neal Barnard

Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, hormonal symptoms, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.

As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. His research contributed to the acceptance of plant-based diets in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2015, he was named a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. In 2016, he founded the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, as a model for making nutrition a routine part of all medical care.

Working with the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and the American Medical Association, Dr. Barnard has authored key resolutions, now part of AMA policy, calling for a new focus on prevention and nutrition in federal policies and in medical practice. In 2018, he received the Medical Society of the District of Columbia’s Distinguished Service Award. He has hosted four PBS television programs on nutrition and health.

Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Barnard received his M.D. degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee.

In this episode, I interviewed Annie, a Dirty from our community, and we unpack a lot and talk about how she: 

🧡 Completely reversed type 2 diabetes

🧡 Healed her non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

🧡 Lost 55 pounds

🧡 Found food freedom after a long struggle with disordered eating 

She did all of this by eating a whole-food plant-based diet. 😮

The power of plants is so freaking incredible! Oh, and her breast cancer is in remission, and she’s found her joy and is excited about life again. Initially, Annie wasn’t sure about making this switch because it was totally different from how she was used to eating. But, she found her way with it and was as shocked as her doctors with the results. 

One of her powerful mindset shifts was viewing food as fuel and taking the emotion out of eating. If you’ve struggled with disordered eating or are struggling with health issues (or know someone who is), this episode is an absolute must-listen! (And share it with your friends, too!)

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Chef AJ, someone I've admired for many years for her incredible contributions to the plant-based community.

We dive into her journey from aspiring veterinarian to a dedicated vegan, sparked by a squeamish moment in her early career that changed her path forever. Despite ditching animal products, Chef AJ found herself struggling with obesity due to a vegan junk food diet.  After a life-changing diagnosis in 2003, she had a wake-up call and has been healing through food ever since. 

If you’ve ever battled food addiction or found it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle, this episode is a must-listen. Chef AJ shares down-to-earth, practical advice on overcoming obstacles and setting yourself up for long-term success. Talking with Chef AJ was an absolute joy, and I know our community will resonate with her story. I’m thrilled to have connected with her and can’t wait for you to hear this episode.

Plus, she shared an amazing Rustic Fruit Tart recipe from her new book.

About her book

Indulge your sweet tooth the healthy way with Chef AJ's new cookbook, Sweet Indulgence. This book is filled with treats that are plant-based, gluten-free, and sweetened only with fruit. It's a fantastic tool for sharing the joys of healthy eating with loved ones. Pre-order by August 27 and transform your dessert game while spreading the plant-based love!

In this episode, I tell you about a friend of mine who went plant based years ago and experienced massive positive changes. Eventually, she fell off the plant based train and has been eating more processed foods and she feels like crap.

Listen up to hear what I lovingly told my friend. I’ll also tell you about my experience with my recent three-day juice fast.
