Eating for disease reversal and planetary health with Dr. Michael Klaper


Listen Later

Bear with me as I blush over Dr, Michael Klaper coming on to my podcast, one of my favorite plant-based physicians for over a decade. It takes me a few minutes to get all the “thank you's” out of my system before we dive into an inspiring conversation about not only the science but the logic of plant-based eating for everything - for your health, the health of the planet that our children and future generations will grow up on, and for the animals.

Dr. Klaper is a general practitioner, a 40+ year vegan, and a picture of health. At 74 years old Klaper shares evidence based nutrition with his youthful enthusiasm and has decades of experience reversing patients chronic illness to thrive with plant-based nutrition and integrative medicine. He now lectures at medical schools across the country to empower the next generation of doctors to better heal their patients with plant-predominant nutrition and lifestyle changes to get to the root cause rather than just treating the symptom..

In this episode dr. Klaper passionately covers

  • His vegan story and life growing up on a dairy farm
  • The basics of how to eat when transitioning to a plant-based diet
  • Dairy, is it good for you? What about raw unpasteurized dairy?
  • chronic illness and disease in America and how it’s largely from diet and lifestyle factors
  • why there is so much confusion about what’s best for our health and conflicting information
  • His thoughts on grass fed, free range and regenerative grazing animal products
  • Animal agriculture’s impact on pollution, the climate and overall planetary health
  • What about the farmers? If the masses switched to plant-based what will happen to the farmers?
  • The Moving Medicine Forward Initiative to create a nutritional awakening among a new generation of doctors.
  • Plant-Based Telehealth as a model of health-care for now and the future
  • What keeps him going and motivated and not giving up out of frustration
