Food Saved My Life

Javant was pre-diabetic, hypertensive, and sitting in a biopsy chair for suspected lymphoma when he walked out and decided to change everything. What happened next — through Nutritarian eating alone — is the kind of story that reminds us just how powerful food can be. In this episode, Dr. Fuhrman and Jenna sit down with Javant, Nutritarian chef, health coach, and author of the new cookbook Make Your Own, to talk about his remarkable health transformation and the philosophy behind his cooking. They cover why whole nuts and seeds outperform oils, how to build salad dressings from a single base, what the internet is getting dangerously wrong about nutrition, and how making familiar foods with better ingredients is the most effective way to help people change for good. If you've ever wondered whether food can truly reverse serious disease, this conversation is your answer.
