Juicing Radio Episode 140
Dr. Garth Davis: Reformed ‘Proteinaholic,’ Bariatric Surgeon, Vegan Iron Man
“Do not accept disease as an inevitability!”
Chock-full of information, this episode of Juicing Radio features Dr. Garth Davis, a weight loss surgeon and plant-based diet advocate, who has helped his patients employ a healthy diet to reverse and prevent obesity-related diseases.
From protein-obsessed bookworm to vegan tri-athlete, Dr. Davis takes us through his journey in discovering the incredible health benefits of a plant-based diet. After starting his weight-loss surgery practice in 2001, Dr. Davis became motivated by his own patients’ terrific success, and started examining his own dietary habits – how he needed to ‘practice what he preached.’ A wake up call at the doctor’s office and a stair-climbing fiasco were his ‘ah-ha’ moments, and he began to research the deleterious effects that a high protein diet can have on health., ‘We [the USA] eat more protein than any other country in the world, and we’re the sickest country in the world.’
Straight-shooter Dr. Davis passionately argues for a shift to plant-based eating:
· Why the Atkins diet is unsustainable, the Paleo diet is ‘utterly ridiculous,’ and why protein is not the brain food we’ve been told it is!
· Learn the 4 common factors that ALL SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS can be attributed to.
· Discover the science behind the causes of diabetes – it’s not what you might think! Hint: high blood sugar is the symptom, not the cause!
· The Myth of Deficiencies in vegans: there’s only ONE nutrient you need to worry about supplementing.
· How western medicine became ‘sick’ care, not ‘health’ care.
· Why industry involvement in setting dietary guidelines has distorted the way we’re told to eat, to disastrous effect on our health.
…and much, much more! Buckle up, for Dr. Davis pulls no punches! You’ll leave this episode informed, empowered, and inspired to begin your own health journey!
