Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. Plant-predominant diets may play a “major role in reversing the obesity and chronic disease epidemics,” just as plant-based lifestyle interventions may arrest or even reverse type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease on an individual basis. In my last video, I showed how a tofu burger boosted levels of the appetite-suppressing hormone GLP-1 higher than a meat burger in both people with diabetes and without, even though the two burgers were matched…

New year, new detox, right? Whether it’s green juices, fasting protocols, or teas that claim to flush you clean, January is when we collectively try to undo the indulgences of the past year. It feels equal parts hopeful and desperate—and frankly, if we’re honest, doesn’t last long. We’ve heard these buzzwords before: activated charcoal to “bind toxins,” infrared saunas to “sweat it out,” and dry brushing to “stimulate the lymphatic system.” They each help the body’s natural detox pathways—your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system. But what if there was a way to take detoxing a step further? What if you…

In romance and comedy, timing is everything. With fitness and nutrition, there’s typically a bit more wiggle room — any time is usually a great time to do more cardio, fit in a resistance workout, or swap processed foods for whole ingredients. When it comes to supplements and vitamins, however, paying attention to supplement timing can help you get the optimal results. Here’s what the science says about the best timing for supplements. When to Take Vitamins The ideal supplement timing for vitamins can vary depending on which vitamins you’re taking. And as always, it’s important to talk to your…

Walking is one of the simplest, most accessible, and effective ways to lose weight and tone your body. Unlike high-impact workouts that can strain your joints, walking is gentle, making it suitable for all fitness levels. But don’t mistake simplicity for ineffectiveness—when done strategically, walking can help you shed pounds, improve your cardiovascular health, and boost your overall well-being. The key to a successful walking routine lies in structure and consistency. By gradually increasing your intensity, incorporating intervals, and adding variety, you can transform a simple stroll into a calorie-burning workout. Walking not only burns calories but also strengthens your…

If you’re looking to burn fat and reshape your body, strength training is one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal. Unlike steady-state cardio, which burns calories only while you’re moving, strength training revs up your metabolism for hours after your workout, thanks to the afterburn effect known as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). But how long should your strength workouts be to maximize fat loss? Should you aim for a quick, intense 30-minute session, or is a full-hour workout more effective? The answer depends on key factors: workout intensity, exercise selection, and rest periods. A well-structured strength training…

Treating myself to a facial is always a great way to unwind. While it does miracles for my skin and wellbeing, it can be too pricey to get a professional treatment all the time. That’s why I often turn to facial masks to rejuvenate my skin whenever I want. They’re so easy to use and they save me tons of money and time. Recently, I came across the TikTok-viral Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask, which more than 30,000 Amazon shoppers just bought in the last month — so, I know it’s a must-try.
