About this episode
Dr. Michael Greger reveals that the number one cause of death in America isn't cancer or heart disease alone, it's our diet, which kills more people than cigarette smoking every year. His grandmother was given a medical death sentence at 65, confined to a wheelchair with end stage heart disease, yet she lived another 31 years to age 96 simply by changing what she ate. This personal transformation inspired him to abandon traditional medicine's drug and surgery approach and dedicate his life to uncovering how food can prevent, arrest, and even reverse our leading killers. You'll walk away understanding that only 25% of your lifespan is determined by genetics, the rest is in your control through lifestyle choices you can start making today.
