My interview today is with “America’s Healthy Heart Doc” Joel Kahn, MD.

Dr. Kahn is a practicing cardiologist and a clinical professor of medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan and has treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career.

He is the author of five books, including Your Whole Heart Solution, Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuses, and The Plant-Based Solution. Dr. Kahn has been vegan for over 40 years! And he is confident that plant-based nutrition is the most powerful source of preventative medicine on the planet.

In our interview we discuss low-carb and keto diets, legumes and lectins, optimal cholesterol levels, blood markers and tests you can take to detect heart disease, and so much more… (show notes below)
