I’m excited to speak at The Plant Powered Party in Las Vegas, Aug. 29–31—celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. John McDougall. I’ll be sharing The Power Foods Diet and connecting with a wonderful plant-based community.

Hope to see you there!

As a physician, I’m concerned when we lump all “ultra-processed” foods together. Not all are harmful; many plant-based ones are actually linked to lower diabetes risk. The real issue isn’t processing; it’s what we’re processing.

A new Star Tribune letter to the editor echoes my concerns about outdated animal labs at Macalester. The harm doesn't stop at the lab rat—it can stay with students for life.

Yes, this change comes decades later than it should have. But it signals a future in which science can advance without unnecessary harm. It’s a future grounded in better data, stronger ethics, and smarter investment.

Some people like to supplement with natural oils, called EPA and DHA, in hopes of improving brain health.

If you choose to do this, you can find plant-derived (vegan) EPA and DHA supplements without the fish.

A graphic with the following text: “Protect your heart this Valentine's Day with plants. Plant-based diets are good for the heart because they contain zero dietary cholesterol, have very little saturated fat, and are abundant in fiber.” by Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM).

Text graphic with the message: “Cruciferous vegetables deserve special attention. Named for their cross-shaped flowers, this group includes broccoli, kale, collards, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, among others. While many people choose them for their highly absorbable calcium, they also have iron, fiber, traces of healthy omega-3 fats, and a special natural compound called sulforaphane that enhances your body's detoxing ability by boosting your liver enzymes that neutralize toxic compounds. Include them generously in your routine." from Dr. Neal Barnard.

I encourage everyone to replace animal products with these four nutritious powerhouses: fruits, grains, legumes, and vegetables.
The Physicians Committee’s Power Plate recommends consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Plant-based / vegan diets lower the risk for many diseases, including obesity, heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
