QUESTIONS I ASK DR. NAIMAN IN THE EPISODE:

What’s your story (specifically, what led you to become a board-certified Family Medicine physician)?

How much did you learn about nutrition in med school?

Not all doctors have as much of an interest in diet and exercise as you do—what led you to research these areas more in depth? 

It’s been said about your book, The P:E Diet, that it’s “the SIMPLEST and MOST PRACTICAL diet and exercise book ever written.” What dietary pattern should we be following, most of the time?

How much protein should we be eating on a daily basis? Do you find that most of your patients are eating enough?

What are your thoughts on an 80/20 or 90/10 eating pattern, allowing room for indulgences here and there?

What about some of the buzz terms out there—like “gluten-free”? Your thoughts?

Any recommendation as to when we should eat? Or how many meals per day? Your thoughts on intermittent fasting?

What about diet soda? Yay or nay?

What types of exercise should we be doing? How often?

What are your recommendations for making exercise simple, practical, and approachable for everyone?
