#10 - Eat for Life, Weight Loss, and an Optimal Immune System with Best Selling Author Dr. Fuhrman
Welcome to “The Elements of Being” podcast, where I dissect and explore the minds and habits of psychologists, filmmakers, writers, and industry icons. Essentially, we learn what makes them flip the switch to achieve great feats, goals, and milestones…and a chance to geek out over the psychology behind human behavior.
In today's episode, I interview Dr. Joel Fuhrman, an internationally recognized expert on nutrition and natural healing and the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including his most recent book, Eat for Life. His other bestsellers include Eat to Live, Super Immunity, The End of Diabetes, The Eat to Live Cookbook, The End of Dieting, and The End of Heart Disease.
Dr. Fuhrman’s books Eat to Live and The End of Dieting not only have become the pillars of the nutrition world but they have also led to the transformation of millions, including the lives of my clients. I typically gift about 100 copies of his book, The End of Dieting, to my clients, friends, and family each year.
Dr. Fuhrman specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional methods. He is the President of the Nutritional Research Foundation and on the faculty of Northern Arizona University, Health Sciences division. Dr. Fuhrman coined the term “Nutritarian” to describe a nutrient-dense he has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes and many other illnesses using smart nutrition…..and I have witnessed this first hand.
Dr. Fuhrman has received the St. Joseph’s Family Practice Resident’s Teaching Award for his contribution to the education of family practice residents; and a C3 Cardiology Global Health Award for teaching nutritional science to cardiologists. In addition to his medical practice in New Jersey, Dr. Fuhrman also operates the Eat To Live Retreat in San Diego.
At this residential facility, people from all over the world come to stay for 4-12 weeks to recover from conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease to autoimmune disease, food addiction and more.
Specifically, we discuss:
-how we can build immunity against COVID-19 and any future viral threats
-our allusions of health based on muscle definition and strength
-how we can reverse disease (and, yes, I said reverse)
-the truth about medicine and the fallacy of hope and long term health it provides
-why you need to know about IGF-1
-the myths about oils
-the role of toxic hunger
-the misconceptions about metabolism and what you should really be striving for
-the myths about the calories in, calories out argument
-the real path to achieving sustainable weight loss and optimal health.

“Health is normal. The human body is a self-repairing, self-defending, self-healing marvel. Disease is relatively difficult to induce, considering the body's powerful immune system. However, this complicated and delicate machinery can be damaged if fed the wrong fuel during the formative years..”
— Dr. Joel Fuhrman, the bestselling author of the book Eat for Life
