Interviewing Dr. Michael Greger has been on my bucket list for years. His book How Not to Die changed the way I think about food and health, so sitting down with him for this conversation was a true honor. In this interview, we discuss:
• What Dr. Greger actually eats while traveling
• The truth about protein and strength training
• What "eat meat sparingly" really means
• The best foods for longevity
• High cholesterol on a plant-based diet
• Osteoporosis and calcium without dairy
• Fiber, gut health, and beans
• Tips for raising healthy eaters
Plus, Dr. Greger shares his surprising daily exercise routine and answers some of the most common nutrition questions I hear from women.
