  1. Number 1: Why Eggs Raise Your Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes

    Are eggs really the “clean” protein we’ve been told they are? In this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman and his daughter Jenna take a closer look at eggs, cholesterol, protein, choline, and what the research may actually tell us about long-term health. Dr. Fuhrman explains why some studies suggesting eggs carry only a modest cardiovascular risk may underestimate the bigger picture, especially when eggs are added to a diet already high in cholesterol. They also discuss how egg yolks may affect people with insulin resistance or diabetes risk, and why pregnancy can make these questions even more important. Plus, they tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding protein.

  2. Number 2: The Truth About Joint Pain, Arthritis & Cartilage Damage

    In this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman joins his daughter Jenna Fuhrman to unpack what may truly drive joint pain, cartilage damage, and osteoarthritis — and why the answer has less to do with your old sports injuries than you think. Together they explore why exercise may not be the primary cause of joint degeneration, how nutrition shapes joint health, and why Dr. Fuhrman believes addressing the root causes of inflammation is essential for long-term mobility. He breaks down how cartilage actually receives its nutrients, the role of diet in keeping joints healthy, common misconceptions about arthritis, and why simply masking pain may not protect your joints over time. They also dig into emerging regenerative therapies, lifestyle habits, and nutritional strategies that support the body's natural healing. Whether you're living with arthritis, managing chronic joint pain, or looking for evidence-informed ways to protect your mobility as you age, this conversation offers a fresh, thought-provoking take on keeping your joints healthy for life.

  3. Number 3: Eat More Vegetables: The 4 Foods That Beat Ozempic (Naturally)

    On this mini episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Jenna Fuhrman is joined by her sister, naturopathic oncologist Dr. Cara Fuhrman, for a quick, fun sister “riff” that turns into a serious PSA: Eat more vegetables. After hosting a wellness + Pilates event with LongevityRx, they brought a carotenoid scanner (a tool that measures antioxidant levels in the skin)… and the results were shocking. Even many “healthy-looking” people scored low, showing they weren’t eating nearly enough fruits and vegetables. They break down why focusing too much on animal protein crowds out nutrient-dense foods, and why greens, beans, nuts, and seeds may be one of the most powerful combinations for satiety and long-term health. Key Takeaways: • Eating Vegetables Is NOT Enough: Portions matter - a LOT • Animal Protein vs Plant Protein: You can get plenty of protein without crowding out nutrient-dense foods • Nutrient Density = Real Health: High nutrients per calorie is the Fuhrman gold standard • Fruit is NOT the Problem: Berries and colorful fruits are loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants • Nature’s Ozempic: Greens, beans, nuts, seeds can dramatically increase satiety and curb cravings • Longevity Starts on Your Plate: Eat the foods that prevent disease before it starts

  4. Number 4: Pregnancy Nutrition: What Your Doctor Was Never Taught About Diet, Fertility, and Your Baby's Health

    When Jenna Fuhrman got pregnant, her prenatal appointments covered tests, screenings, and medications — but barely touched the factor with the deepest influence on fertility, pregnancy, and her child's lifelong health: what she eats. In this episode, she and her father, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, dig into what the research actually says. Most physicians get little nutrition training, even as the science on prenatal nutrition keeps growing — which means parents who want to give their child the best possible start often have to learn this for themselves. Joel and Jenna cover what to eat before conception and through all nine months, and why small dietary shifts can make a lasting difference for both mother and baby. What you'll learn: The surprising link between a father's diet, sperm quality, and miscarriage risk — why this isn't only about the mother Why what both parents eat before conception may shape fertility, miscarriage risk, and a child's long-term health Getting folate from greens and beans, and how it differs from synthetic folic acid Why Dr. Fuhrman recommends algae-derived DHA and EPA over fish during pregnancy Why ferritin testing — not just standard anemia screening — can reveal more about iron status Managing morning sickness and food aversions with small, frequent portions of nuts, seeds, and beans, without losing nutrient density Supporting healthy blood pressure and blood sugar through pregnancy Why a high-animal-protein diet may not be the optimal approach, and how plant protein supports a healthy baby Whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or planning ahead, this episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for nourishing both mother and baby.

  5. Number 5: Food Saved My Life

    Javant was pre-diabetic, hypertensive, and sitting in a biopsy chair for suspected lymphoma when he walked out and decided to change everything. What happened next — through Nutritarian eating alone — is the kind of story that reminds us just how powerful food can be. In this episode, Dr. Fuhrman and Jenna sit down with Javant, Nutritarian chef, health coach, and author of the new cookbook Make Your Own, to talk about his remarkable health transformation and the philosophy behind his cooking. They cover why whole nuts and seeds outperform oils, how to build salad dressings from a single base, what the internet is getting dangerously wrong about nutrition, and how making familiar foods with better ingredients is the most effective way to help people change for good. If you've ever wondered whether food can truly reverse serious disease, this conversation is your answer.
