The Best Diet for Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease with Dr. Joel Kahn
09/22/15 • 62 min
Welcome! The show today is from our live podcast last week. My guest is Dr. Joel Kahn, who has practiced as a cardiologist in Detroit, MI, for 25 years. He was born and raised in suburban Detroit and attended medical school at the University of Michigan. He is the author of several books and is opening a gourmet, plant-based restaurant in Ferndale, MI, called Green Space Café. The unique menu will feature Thai food, bean burgers, Indian entrees, Latino tapas, and much, much more!
Dr. Kahn coined the term “interpreventional” to describe his method of cardiology. He is interventional, focusing on prevention of heart disease---hence, the term. He understands the seriousness of heart disease and has devoted his life to helping prevent heart attacks through diet and education.
Dr. Kahn shares the following information in this episode:
- How an article in the New England Journal of Medicine by Dr. Dean Ornish many years ago set him on the path to treating artery problems with a nutrition focus
- How to encourage healthy eating diet habits in kids
- How to plan plant-based meals that are filling and satisfying so that you aren’t a starving vegan!
- The place of complex carbs in his plant-based diet—his recommendations may surprise you!
- How to use healthy fats toward heart health, and the key IS NOT EVOO!
- How elderly residents of Okinawa, Japan, prove that a heavily starch-based diet is good for you!
- How numerous studies prove the success of his plant-based diet
- Why you should pile on lettuce and tomato on your burger or reach for broccoli along with your pizza, that is, if you must eat “trash” foods
- How unhealthy foods can affect your artery health in just minutes!
- What foods/supplements he recommends for his heart disease patients
- How Dr. Kahn stays on track with his personal health, even with a CRAZY schedule
- How you can reverse heart disease, cancer risk, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, and even dementia with the simple change to a plant-based diet!
- The Top Six Habits you can adopt to reduce your heart attack risk!
- Why ketogenic diets do NOT give the results you want!
- What medical tests he recommends, including the “secret” test that can assess your risk for heart disease
“Food is medicine because food is information!”

Adrenal Fatigue and the 7 Pillars of Vibrant Health - FAM #46
Welcome! My guest today is Dr. Ritamarie, who is a specialist in endocrine imbalances. She focuses on thyroid, adrenal, and insulin issues, and is here to discuss adrenal fatigue. She has a long and rich history of working with patients in the area of nutritional endocrinology.
As a young person, Dr. Ritamarie suffered from adrenal fatigue and leaky gut issues but she never connected the symptoms with her unhealthy lifestyle. She suspected the connection and did research on her own, then started cleansing and rebuilding her system on her own. She has had NO sugar or caffeine for 30 years! Her passion became teaching others what she had learned about health and nutrition.
Dr. Ritamarie discusses the following topics:
- There is a connection to adrenal imbalance, thyroid issues, blood sugar imbalance, and digestion.
- She founded the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology to train health practitioners.
- There are some common patterns, but also some unique differences in the symptoms of adrenal imbalance. She shares six specific symptoms that you may be experiencing!
- Dr. Ritamarie shares the Seven Pillars of Vibrant Health that must be in balance. It’s NOT ONLY nutrition that matters!
- Stress, sleep, and mindset are probably the main areas in which most people need to change habits for positive health.
- There are Three Pillars of Care for Successful Practitioners. You have to be a good example to help others change for the better!
- There is a correlation between sleep deprivation and insulin resistance. Most people need 7-9 hours nightly for optimum overall health.
- Dr. Ritamarie has some specific Do’s and Don’t’s regarding nutritional changes to heal adrenal function. Listen and learn!
- She has some exercises to help people learn to let go of limiting beliefs. What is it that is holding you back?
- She briefly describes “transforming stress,” which takes negative stressors and reframes them in a positive way.
- To begin to change, focus on breathing, appreciation, and eating REAL food!
- If you’re suffering from adrenal imbalance, you can expect a profound change in 3-6 months of commitment to her program.
Dr. Ritamarie has many years’ experience in functional medicine with an emphasis on adrenal imbalance. Her tips can help anyone who suffers from the common symptoms. Join me to learn more, and check out the resources below!
