Dr. Michael Klaper - S3. E1. New Podcast Season!

For episode notes visit: plantstrongpodcast.com
Season 3 of the PLANTSTRONG Podcast explores those Galileo Moments, when you seek the real truth about your health and dare to see the world through a different lens. This season, we honor those courageous seekers who have paved the way for all of us, which is why there could be no more perfect guest to kick off this season than Dr. Michael Klaper.
Dr. Klaper, of course, went to medical school, but also minored in astronomy, marrying his lifetime fascination with the nighttime sky and the world according to natural law.
His own Galileo moment came in 1981 when he was an anesthesiology resident in Vancouver. He would put patients to sleep so that surgeons could open up their patients' chests. What he saw inside those arteries was unforgettable - yellow gunky atherosclerosis caused by the foods and the high-cholesterol diets they were consuming.
He could no longer deny the truth. He looked through the lens.
Not only did Dr. Klaper change his diet to a whole-foods plant-based diet right away, but he also changed his own area of focus in medicine, from anesthesia to plant-based lifestyle medicine. That was almost 40 years ago and he's been going strong ever since, helping to clear those arteries and get his patients off their meds, rather than performing these massive avoidable surgeries.
His goal now? Help others, including aspiring physicians, to peel back the curtain and seek the truth about the real cause of illness in our society. "It's the food, it's the food, it's the food."

Love love love y'all 💗...thank you for all the information!! Greatly appreciated

[@JnTmarie]

I’m on the path. Your parents are amazing and so are you. Love Dr Klaper. I’m struggling with making meals. I order in a lot here in nyc most restaurants use so much oil even from vegan restaurants. The fake meats are not healthy. I hope to improve my skills. Let’s open a restaurant here! Stay Ripped Rip 💜💕

[@sarahaldridge9866]

Great to hear about your Engine2 foods, please can we look forward to a UK 🇬🇧 launch?

[@Daren_PNW]

Thanks guys! Btw, can you add time stamps similar to what Rich Roll does?

[@anniel482]

I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend the 2015 Immersion in Sedona. Seems impossible now. I hope we get to travel without fear soon.

[@Chris-kr7gg]

Fear we create.

Mt father fraduated from U of Minn mrd school in 1955. Andol Keyes was on his graduation picture. He had some thoughts re milk and acne in 1974 75. Some of the things the Medical Medium describes re doctors I remember my dad saying to me. At that time doctors coming out of med school were pushing drugs over diet

[@carmel1143]

What about heart failure does a plant base diet work

[@carmel1143]

What about heart failure does plant base diet good

[@susanjonesnow]

[@GlennMarshallnz]

Animal products RIP. Whole food plant based.

[@sherri.]

Rip, so sad to hear you mention and give credit to Jeff Nelson. If he did to your father what he did to Dr. Fuhrman, you’d be furious. Many in the PB world think he is a sad, deplorable, unprofessional has-been and cringe hearing his name.

[@tkmj3116]

Thank you for saying that, I agree with you 100% and despise Nelson.

[@solomon467]

I'll 3rd that
