It’s about the world that we want to leave for our children, and our children’s children. This is about more than the world that we live in today. It is impossible to ignore the disasters that have plagued our planet in recent years: unstoppable wildfires, violent hurricanes, zoonotic infections. ![]() A plant-based diet is inherently conscious of the impact of our food choices on the world around us. By eating this way, we can eat until we are full without counting calories, and we will accomplish our health goals and achieve a healthy weight balance in the process. A plant-based, oil-free diet is inherently high nutrient and high fiber. Meanwhile, in recent years, studies have emerged showing us that there is a path through a plant-based diet that does not require us to restrict. Over the last two decades, our most popular diets have been telling us that the path to optimal health is through elimination and restriction. The key is to feed them their preferred food-fiber! Turns out that a diverse, plant-based diet gives our gut microbes exactly what they need to thrive, and in turn helps you thrive. ![]() Science has shown us that our gut microbes play an important role in our digestion, immunity, metabolism, hormonal balance, mood, and brain health. As I described in my book Fiber Fueled, the gut health hype is real and it’s not going away. It is also the optimal diet for our gut microbes.By consuming a plant-based diet, you will get dietary fiber in spades, and simultaneously be reducing your risk of some of our most deadly illnesses. But where do we find this mystical salvation? Quite simply-plants. They were examining the effect of dietary fiber on human health and found that by increasing dietary fiber in our diet, we can reduce our risk for heart disease, multiple forms of cancer, and type 2 diabetes. ![]() Think about that for a minute… that’s the entirety of human history forty-five times over. In February 2019, the prestigious medical journal the Lancet published a systematic review and meta-analysis of 185 high-quality prospective studies that aggregated 135 million years of human experience into one study.
