Today's episode we are joined by Abdo Michael Boumitri as we discuss his journey - beating brain cancer, leaving medical school due to the growing concern that we operate in a failing medical system, and his switch to a vegan plant based diet.
Abdo and I talk about the concepts of preventative medicine vs disease based medicine and how the world's dedication to the latter is harming the human population. He supports a high starch, protein, and fiber diet as a means of preventative medicine rather than responding to diseases and health problems with diet changes. One approach is an active approach while the other is a reactive approach.
His cancer diagnosis is an example, Abdo responded to the removal of his benign tumor with a new diet to reduce future medical implications.
Lastly, we discuss some changes you can make to eat a more well rounded and less animal based diet. I personally am trying to reduce my meat and cheese consumption to a more maintainable level.
Tune in!
