An eye opening talk! I encourage all of my friends to watch it. Dr Esselstyn begins as follows: "Coronary artery disease is a leading killer of women and men in the Western civilization. And yet the truth be known that it's nothing more than a toothless paper tiger that need never exist. And if it does exist, it need never ever progress. It is a food borne illness."

Dr John McDougall is a luminary plant-based doctor who has treated patients for over 40 years now. He has written many books and given many lectures on many different topics.

This lecture is an awesome summary of Whole Food Plant-Based approach to osteoporosis! Worth watching in its entirety. The audio quality leaves much to be desired. I had to carefully pay attention to understand what Dr Klaper was saying. The same lecture is available here and here as well.

Dr Ornish did landmark studies from late 70s to 90s showing that atherosclerosis can be reversed through lifestyle changes alone! A landmark publication in Lancet, 1990, was crucial in building confidence that Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines are effective in tackling the #1 killer of men and women in the Western world. How did Dr Ornish get the idea that a vegetarian diet, some yoga and some meditation would lead to chronic disease reversal? He was influenced by Swami Satchidananda.
