Dr Joel Fuhrman has practised nutritional medicine for over 35 years, and this conversation reveals why most protein and performance advice is wrong, how slowing your metabolism extends lifespan, and why eating more vegetables matters more than exercise for longevity.

Joel explains why he became a nutritional specialist after being a professional figure skater—he's reviewed tens of thousands of studies showing the evidence is overwhelming and not controversial among longevity researchers. Learn why you cannot be healthy and overweight even at moderate body fat percentages, how nuts and seeds reduce cardiovascular death by 40% compared to oils, and why most people should cut animal products from 35% down to below 10% of their diet.
