This week's guest is Dr. Kim Williams, Doctor, Professor and Former President and current trustee of the American College of Cardiology. We were fortunate to catch up with Dr. Williams on his trip to Australia from the US for the first ever Doctors For Nutrition event. This man is a giant in not only his field of cardiology, but in progressive health, wellbeing, education and plant-based living. You may even recognise him from some influential documentaries including the renowned "What the Health". With heart disease as the number one cause of death in the US and here in Australia, Dr. Williams is passionate about educating all on the benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet.
In this episode Billy and Dr. Williams discuss:
- Sports, cardio exercise and active living for greater heart health
- Knowing the limits with HIIT training
- Factors that lower blood pressure without drugs
- Reducing diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension with plant-based nutrition
- Dr. Williams' view on the ketogenic diet
- Testosterone - is meat killing your manhood?
- The "unhealthy" vegan
- Bulking on a vegan diet
Plus, there is also a special bonus segment with Dr. Heleen Roex, MD and Dr. Juliette Roex, MD, who are both part of Doctors For Nutrition. This incredible initiative led by medical and dietetic professionals is dedicated to putting evidence-based nutrition at the heart of healthcare. By empowering practitioners, policy makers and the public with this vital information, they aim to prevent unnecessary suffering for patients, increase career satisfaction for practitioners and reduce the unsustainable costs of healthcare. This is progressive information not to miss.
