Losing weight and being healthy may sound like the same thing but that’s not always true. Dr. Joel Fuhrman joins Cathy to explain the life-changing impact of a nutritarian diet, why building our immunity should be our priority, and why it’s important to take control of our health now to avoid disease and doctor bills later in life!

 

In this episode, Cathy and Joel discuss: 

  • What a nutritarian diet is and what makes it unique
  • Why our diet should contain GBOMBS: greens, beans, onions mushrooms, berries, seeds
  • What it means to be healthy and why so many people are not
  • Basic principles of super immunity and how to earn it
  • Whether nutritional science can help win the war against cancer
  • Which foods are better for health performance and longevity and why 
  • Exciting disease reversals Dr. Fuhrman has witnessed  
  • Details about Dr. Fuhrman’s books and treatment approaches
         

Memorable Quotes:

  • “The same diet style that’s most effective to promote human lifespan is almost most effective to be therapeutic to reverse disease...and improve immune function protection…”
  • “Excellent nutrition makes our body virtually disease proof.”
  • “It’s not just keeping your hands away from your face, it’s keeping the junk food out of your hands.”
  • “It’s not just preventing exposure, it’s improving your host immunity so if and when you get exposed...you’re not going to have a bad outcome.”
