Dr. Michael Greger — physician, bestselling author of How Not to Die, and founder of NutritionFacts.org — joins the Plantwise Book Club crew for a live fireside chat focused on how he reads and writes.
In this conversation, we ask Dr. Greger how his team tracks thousands of new studies every day using PubMed alerts, a team of 100+ volunteers, and an increasing use of AI.
He shares how he actively seeks out evidence that challenges his own positions — and the times he's had to reverse course (including a heartbreaking breakup with his favorite fruit).
We also cover:
🔬 How NutritionFacts.org is building an AI-powered "Ask Dr. Greger" tool using retrieval-augmented generation
🥦 The strongest argument against a plant-based diet (his answer might surprise you)
💪 How much protein you actually need — especially over 65
🏥 Why making healthy food the default choice is the most effective behavior change strategy
📚 His deep-work routine: treadmill research days, month-long project blocks, and a nine-hour interview day
🍠 How fans started bringing him sweet potatoes at book signings
Dr. Greger donates all proceeds from his books to charity, takes no corporate sponsorships, runs no ads, and sells no supplements.
