Is your diet keeping you sick? Dr. James Loomis is a whole-food, plant-based internal medical practitioner spreading the message that food is the best way to combat illness and disease. After experiencing a decline in his own health, Dr. Loomis made the switch and saw miraculous results: a significant drop in weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure in under three months. He says that most problems that walk into his office can be traced back to inflammation and stress, often resulting from the Standard American Diet. The former internist for both the St. Louis Cardinals and Rams now serves as the Medical Director of the Barnard Medical Center and advocates for using food — over prescriptions — as medicine. In this episode, Dr. Loomis joins Alexandra and Dotsie to explain exactly how what we eat works to either heal or harm our bodies. You’ll hear why whole foods are the best way to combat inflammation, why manipulation by the dairy industry is so dangerous, and how you can get empowered to critically evaluate medical research on your own. This is a must-hear episode to understand why eating whole foods is as important as eating plant-based for your health.
“90% of the problems that walk into this office are fundamentally related to food, how we move, and stress. Almost all will respond to a whole-foods plant-based diet.” – Dr. James Loomis
