In this episode of the Jennifer Zee Plant-based and Happy Podcast, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Dr. Dean Ornish who is a pioneer in the plant-based world.  After recently reading his newest book Undoit! I knew that I had to have him on the podcast.

Dean Ornish, M.D., is the founder and president of the non-profit Preventive Medicine Research Institute, clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and the author of six books, all national bestsellers. He has received numerous honors, including the Outstanding Young Alumnus Award from the University of Texas, Austin, and the National Public Health Hero Award from the University of California, Berkeley.  Dr. Ornish was recognized as a “TIME 100 Innovator;” by Life magazine as “one of the 50 most influential members of his generation;” by People magazine as “one of the most interesting people of the year;” and by Forbes magazine as “one of the world’s seven most powerful teachers.”

In this episode Dr. Ornish and I chat about:
➤ Working at a deeper level to prevent and reverse disease and food addiction
➤ Many other early stage diseases
➤ Lifestyle changes that can lengthen our lifespan
➤ One thing that all diseases have in common
➤ What’s better than Viagra?
