  • How to Beat High Blood Pressure with Dr. Kim Williams

    In our conversation with Dr. Kim Williams we discuss the multifactorial nature of hypertension, or chronically high blood pressure. Dr. Kim talks about ways to you can prevent, manage and even reserve your high blood pressure. He talks about his own experience of developing high blood in college and why that convinced him that genetics wasn't the main culprit when it comes to high blood pressure. He also talks about racial disparities in healthcare and how it relates to chronic health issues, specially high blood pressure. If you know someone or you are personally dealing with high blood pressure you will walk away with practical tools to make changes to your health.  Key Takeaways: There are several contributing factors, but diet plays a significant role in preventing and reversing high blood pressure.   You can take control of your health and protect against hypertension (along with other chronic diseases) by eating a low sodium whole-food, plant-based diet, limiting alcohol, avoiding tobacco, and getting 45 minutes of exercise daily.  Foods that lower blood pressure are found in the plant kingdom: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes (beans, peas, lentils), nuts and seeds as well as herbs and spices.  We hope you find this information helpful. Learn more about how the Daniel Fast can help lower blood pressure. Study: 75% of black adults will have hypertension by age 55  Black Lives Need to Matter: Examining the Inequities in Medicine.

  • How to Build a Healthy Immune System During a Pandemic! with Dr. Joel Fuhrman
    "Now is the time to make the change [to a healthy diet]. Regardless of your age or health status, you will improve and protect your life." -- Joel Fuhrman, MD   
    Dr. Joel Fuhrman is a board-certified family physician, and seven-time New York Times Bestselling author. We learned of Dr. Fuhrman from his wildly popular book, Eat to Live. He recently came out with a very timely book, Eat for Life, which includes how to build a healthy immune system. In this episode, we talk about how to improve your immune system amidst COVID-19 or any virus. We also discuss ways to fight back if you get sick. This interview was initially recorded on March 30, 2020. Given the increasing variants of the COVID, we felt it was necessary to keep this topic at the forefront.

    Have you ever done the Daniel Fast and felt better but couldn't wait to finish the days you committed to?
