After going vegan in 1981, Dr. Michael Klaper has spent decades helping patients use food to reverse chronic disease. He's now focused on a new mission: changing medical education from the inside out.
We talk about his transition to veganism in the early 1980s, the moment he realized food was at the root of many chronic diseases, and why most doctors still receive shockingly little nutrition education. Dr. Klaper also shares the work he's doing through Moving Medicine Forward to bring nutrition science into medical schools across North America.
We discuss:
why nutrition is still largely absent from medical training
how plant-based diets can help reverse chronic disease
the cultural and systemic barriers keeping people stuck
keto and carnivore diet trends
the economics of modern healthcare
why he believes medicine is slowly starting to change
Dr. Klaper also shares details about his new book, Moving Medicine Forward, and why he believes the next generation of doctors could transform healthcare as we know it.
