The Ian Cramer Podcast

In episode 82, I am speaking with Toni Okamoto, author of Plant-Based on a Budget. Toni and I speak about how she got involved in this movement, how being an athlete in high school got her introduced to eating better and how she became involved in the world of veganism. The majority of the conversation is spent highlighting her book and dispelling the myth that it's expensive to eat healthy. I hope you enjoy the conversation and hope you pick up a copy of her book. 

Hello and Welcome to another episode of The Ian Cramer Podcast. This podcast focuses on interviews and conversations with doctors and scholars of lifestyle medicine.

What would cause Paul to change his mind on various consensus within lipidology.   

My guest is Dr. Pauli Ohukainen, PhD, a Finnish post-doctoral researcher. We speak about his start in biochemistry and then speak about blood lipids and how they affect human health. Paul gradually moved into the field of medical research. His time was spent focusing on the heart, heart valves and the aorta and what physiologic and metabolic processes causes these tissues to break down and become athrosclerotic. Paul came onto my radar through his content on twitter, where he is quite active. He often speaks of blood lipids, which is where we spend the rest of the time in our conversation.  This podcast comes out every other week, so look forward to Part 2 coming out on Saturday, November 16, 2019.  You can follow Pauli on Twitter @POhukainen
