    Highlights: On average, weight loss on semaglutide (Ozempic) is approximately 15% of body weight.

    Nutrient Density and Satiety:

    • Drewnowski, A.. Concept of a nutritious food: toward a nutrient density score. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2005. Nutrient-dense foods like greens and beans have been shown to promote satiety, support weight loss, and provide essential micronutrients.
    • Highlights: Nutrient-dense foods can naturally regulate appetite and reduce caloric intake without sacrificing nutrition.

    • Highlights: Anti-angiogenic foods limit blood vessel growth in fat cells, aiding in long-term weight management.

    Role of Fiber in Appetite Suppression:

    • Slavin, JL. Dietary fiber and body weight. Nutrition. 2005. High-fiber foods, such as beans and greens, slow digestion, lower postprandial glucose levels, and enhance satiety, contributing to sustainable weight loss.

    • Highlights: Fiber promotes healthy gut microbiota, which indirectly regulates appetite, and viscous fiber directly regulates appetite by slowing breakdown of macronutrients.

Excellent Thorough and Balanced Discussion Based on the Evidence

Dr. Fuhrman goes beyond the typical plant-based discussion to examine a variety of long term studies to show the importance and best sources of protein. A review cannot do it justice, just listen...

-He and his daughter also have a joyful and pleasant synchony.

Inner and outer ecology explored

In this podcast we hear about how the microbiome is connected to our health and the health of our planet. So much is being discovered about pro and prebiotics and here the Fuhrmans connect this to how our soil and connection to the earth contributes to our longevity and wellbeing. I deeply appreciate this podcast as I’m in the very beginning of starting a garden and it’s quite motivating.
