#228: A Conversation with Dr. Greger
“So that became my life's mission: to take this mountain of evidence that was already present in peer-reviewed medical journals and translate that into practice, give people the tools to make these decisions in their own lives, to treat the cause of disease.” –Michael Greger MD FACLM
In this super special episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have a candid conversation with the evidence-based master himself, Dr. Michael Greger about what fuels him to do the work he does and how he supports his own wellbeing. You definitely don’t want to miss this one!
Some of the topics covered in today’s episode include:
Dr. Greger’s personal motivation for eating a plant-based diet and applying the principles of lifestyle medicine
A disease that personally terrifies him the most
How he started NutritionFacts and how it has evolved to what it is today
What keeps him driving so hard
For healthcare professionals, his opinion on whether we should keep our focus on health and wellbeing, separate from our animal advocacy
