We’re joined by the esteemed internist and author, Dr. Leo Galland, to discuss his latest research around covid and understand how our biology is directly correlated to our susceptibility to the virus and other diseases. He also breaks down the science behind the critical role our nutritional and lifestyle habits play in our overall health - all of which further proves that getting enough plants (and a diversity of them!) in our diets is critical to stave off disease. In a recent study that Dr. Galland sites during the episode, states that a control group eating “a low carbohydrate high protein diet, which had no added sugar but fewer vegetables and more red meat and poultry, had a risk of being sicker that was almost 4 times as high as people whose diet was described as plant based.” This episode serves as a great reminder that all of our choices around food, the relationships we have, our attitude, and more have the power to change our body on a cellular level and impact our health.
