In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we bring back one of our classics that put us on the plant-based podcasting map: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease with Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. It was an extreme honour. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn is known for being one of the founding fathers of the plant-based lifestyle and is the author of the book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. We covered a lot of the questions and uncertainties out there. We hope this conversation will help you or someone you care about cross that line from uncertainty to taking action. To be able to prevent and reverse heart disease and many other chronic illnesses just like Adam did.
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn is widely recognized for his role in the documentary film, Forks Over Knives. Twenty-three years ago, while chairman of the Cleveland Clinic’s Breast Cancer Task Force, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn wanted his peers to do more in the way of preventing heart disease as he found the research on plant-based diets to be extremely strong. He and his family adopted a plant-based lifestyle and he is responsible for so many others following suit with tremendous results. He and he is his wife, Ann, are full of energy and spirit.
