In this episode of I AM HUMAN we learn from Robert Cheeke about effective altruism, how our personal biases can get in the way of doing the most good, how we can best determine what organizations to allocate resources to and how we can lead by example. This is a very powerful and important episode especially if you want to learn how to decrease the suffering of animals in the most effective way.
Robert's journey is not just about personal transformation but also about the broader impact we can have by making mindful, strategic choices. He shares how his upbringing among animals ignited his commitment to stand against animal suffering and how even small compromises can make veganism more accessible and effective. By sharing his experiences, Robert explains that leading by example can inspire others to make compassionate choices, even if those choices aren't perfect. We take a closer look at the stark contrasts in global resource distribution and the importance of effective giving. We discuss organizations like The Humane League, Dharma Voices for Animals, and the Good Food Institute, showcasing their influential work in reducing animal suffering. By reflecting on these insights, we recognize the potential for significant positive change through conscious consumption and supporting high-impact charities. Tune in to discover how authenticity, optimism, and gratitude can help foster a more compassionate world.
Robert Cheeke grew up on a farm in Corvallis, Oregon, and embraced a vegan lifestyle at age 15 in 1995. Today, he is a prominent figure in the fitness world, authoring influential books such as *The Plant-Based Athlete* and *The Impactful Vegan*, released last month. e 25, 2024. Dubbed the "Godfather of Vegan Bodybuilding," Robert has played a pivotal role in the industry since 2002. As a natural bodybuilding champion and a key contributor to major vegan platforms, he tours globally, sharing his journey from a skinny farm kid to a renowned vegan bodybuilder.

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I interview Dr. Ellie MacGregor - an Integrative and Functional medicine pediatrician - who specializes in brain health, about her journey to holistic medicine.
We explore the profound connection between brain and body health, particularly through the lens of complex conditions like celiac disease and ADHD. Dr. McGregor shares eye-opening case studies, such as that of a college student misdiagnosed with ADHD, whose focus issues were actually due to nutritional deficiencies from undiagnosed celiac disease. We discuss how holistic approaches that consider gut health, nutrition, and overall bodily function can lead to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments, moving beyond simple mental health labels.
Lastly, we dive into the lifestyle factors affecting pediatric health, from dietary habits to sleep routines and the impact of community environments. Dr. McGregor emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy in medical practice, offering practical strategies for families to improve health habits in sustainable ways. We also touch on the pitfalls of over-reliance on supplements and the critical role of conventional medicine during acute crises.
Discussion points:
(00:00) Guest intro, background, path to pediatrics and integrative medicine, addressing mental health in children and combining art and science in her practice.

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I chat with Dr. Naomi Parrella about learning to tune in to the signals of our bodies to improve our well-being and longevity. We discuss the circadian code, informed nutrition and how we can tackle the health crisis affecting our country.
Our conversation also explores contrasting health philosophies between Japan and the United States, particularly how the Japanese focus on prevention and understanding the body's signals vs. the American tendency to seek quick fixes for discomfort. By learning from different cultural practices, we can adopt a more holistic approach to health, emphasizing the "dance of well-being" where we respond adaptively to our body's cues and environment for optimal health outcomes.
Dr. Parrella also highlights the importance of starting with basic nutritional habits and incorporating simple physical activities to build a strong foundation for health. Lastly, we dive into the transformative power of education and informed consent in healthcare. Dr. Parrella shares inspiring stories of patients who have reversed chronic conditions like diabetes through lifestyle adjustments, demonstrating the ripple effect of one patient's success inspiring others in the community. Join us for an empowering conversation that underscores the value of education, compassion, and the unique purpose each human holds.

She has positively impacted over 10,000 patients with her dynamic methods for healthier living. As Medical Director at Rush Center for Weight Loss and a sought-after speaker for top organizations like United Airlines and Google, Dr. Parrella remains dedicated to enhancing lives.

In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I chat with Physician Assistant Laura Driggers about her unique plant-based journey which was inspired by one of her children. We also talk about embracing imperfection in a plant-based diet. She discusses her work as a PA and how she integrates lifestyle medicine into an underserved population. This is a great episode for other healthcare providers curious about how to apply lifestyle medicine to their practices.
Our conversation explores the practical challenges and victories of raising plant-based children, navigating family and social reactions, and witnessing remarkable patient health transformations. We discuss Laura's personal and professional experiences, shedding light on the unique obstacles faced by predominantly Spanish-speaking populations and the ways cultural heritage can both challenge and support a plant-based lifestyle. With a compassionate and humble approach, Laura exemplifies the incredible potential of lifestyle medicine to transform lives.
Laura Driggers, a 2011 NHSC scholar, chose rural NC for her career post-graduation, working at a Federally Qualified Health Center and local health department. She provides comprehensive care for all kinds of patients - from newborns to complex cases. A mother of three, ages 11, 9, and 6, her children inspired her interest in lifestyle medicine. Wrestling with a "picky eater" led her to adopt a plant-based diet after extensive research and certifications in lifestyle medicine, including Type 2 Diabetes Remission and Plant-based Nutrition from ACLM and eCornell, respectively, solidifying her belief in the health benefits of plant-based eating.

Join my enlightening conversation with Dr. Andrew Freeman, a leading cardiologist and staunch advocate for plant-based nutrition, as he reveals the critical factors behind heart disease and unravels the myths surrounding diet and health. Dr. Freeman shares his personal transformation from unhealthy eating to becoming a plant-based champion, shedding light on the misinformation spread by the food industry and how to cut through the noise for a healthier lifestyle. Learn about the key health statistics you must know to evaluate your cardiovascular risk and the potential impact of endurance activities on heart health.
We also tackle the underutilization of plant-based methods in cardiology, despite robust professional guidelines supporting these approaches. Dr. Freeman and I discuss the cognitive dissonance many face when it comes to diet and health, particularly in a society bombarded with processed foods. From hypertension to rare cardiovascular conditions, we emphasize the power of lifestyle medicine and share practical strategies for communicating these life-changing approaches to patients. Finally, we delve into essential health metrics for adults to monitor, and tips for extreme athletes to safeguard their heart health while engaging in endurance activities.
Dr. Freeman is a distinguished cardiologist and educator with a rich background in medicine and academia. He completed his internal medicine training at Brown University and earned his medical degree with research honors from SUNY Buffalo, following a summa cum laude graduation from Cornell University. Currently based at National Jewish Health, he serves as Director of Clinical Cardiology and Director of Cardiovascular Prevention and Wellness, alongside his role as Associate Professor of Medicine. Dr. Freeman is renowned for his advocacy of lifestyle medicine, notably through initiatives like the Walk with a Doc program in Denver, emphasizing exercise as medicine. A leader in his field, he contributes extensively to cardiovascular research, particularly on plant-based nutrition, and actively mentors medical students and professionals while promoting health education across Colorado.

Can knee pain be effectively managed without resorting to surgery?
Dr. Jonathan Su, a distinguished physical therapist and former US Army officer, shares his compelling journey from a devastating football injury to becoming a leading voice in natural knee pain relief. Inspired by his own experience, Dr. Su turned away from surgery and embraced natural healing methods, which led to the creation of his highly practical book, "Six Minute Knee Pain Cure."
In this episode, we discuss the importance of often-overlooked muscles in preventing and healing knee pain, and Dr. Su provides valuable insights on proactive care and targeted exercises to maintain strength and mobility as we age. We venture beyond knee pain to explore the broader impact of muscle balance, resistance training, and holistic health approaches on long-term well-being. Dr. Su elaborates on how modern lifestyles contribute to muscle imbalances and stresses the importance of strengthening neglected muscles to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. This episode also celebrates the contributions of our armed forces and encourages listeners to pursue their dreams with resilience and hope.
