Neal Barnard, MD, FACC is here to chat with us about his latest book, The Power Foods Diet – The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss. We talk about the power of plant-based diets, and the role of specific foods in weight loss and brain health. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding saturated fats and incorporating antioxidants like anthocyanins and vitamin E into the diet, which is especially important for avoiding Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Barnard shares his natural, three-pronged approach to diminishing menopause symptoms. We discuss the benefits of soy in reducing breast cancer, and touch on bioidentical hormones. Lastly, we have a fun discussion about Dr. Barnard’s musical career and how a psychiatric patient of his once ended up at his concert and thought she was hallucinating! This man is fascinating and knows so much about so many things.
