Dr. David Katz: How to Eat for Healthy Vital People on a Healthy Vital Planet

Practically Healthy by Dr. Melina

Dr. David Katz, specialist in Internal Medicine, Preventive Medicine/Public Health, and Lifestyle Medicine joins on episode 48 of the Practically Healthy podcast to share his vast knowledge about HOW TO EAT for healthy vital people on a healthy, vital planet. The doctors discuss their perspectives on health- how “living healthfully” can be perceived as a full time job, their shared objective of adding not only years to life, but life to years, and shift the perspective of “health” as being much more than “the absence of disease”. Dr. Katz reminds listeners of the diminished state of the planet including soil deterioration, poor air quality, aquifer degradation and more. He highlights the three lenses through which he determines how we should eat: impact on human health, potential cruelty/abuse to animals and planetary impact/ environmental footprint. Tune in to learn the number one food he recommends we cut back on. The doctors share the 6 Pilars of lifestyle medicine: feed, forks, fingers, sleep, stress and love- and discuss how bundling Pilars creates opportunities for further healthy lifestyle behaviors. The doctors share their best practical tips for healthy living- tune in to hear these life changing hacks! To learn more about Dr. Katz or his company Diet ID, visit davidkatz.com or dietID.com.
