From the NHA Today Archives — foundational principles of plant-based nutrition that still resonate.

In this replay episode of NHA Today, host Dr. Frank Sabatino speaks with Dr. Joel Fuhrman, board-certified family physician, bestselling author of Eat to Live, and founder of the Eat to Live Retreat.

Dr. Fuhrman shares insights from decades of clinical experience using whole-food, plant-based nutrition to address chronic disease, slow aging, strengthen immunity, and support sustainable weight loss. The conversation explores the power of nutrient density, the role of plant diversity, immune resilience, and the importance of individualized care over rigid dietary dogma.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why nutrient density matters more than calories alone

• The concept of "moderate caloric restriction with micronutrient excellence"

• How plant diversity supports immune function

• The relationship between protein intake and aging
