Show Description:

An Interview with Michael Klaper, M.D.

COVID-19 has brought more attention to public health than many have seen in a lifetime. A federal task force was formed, daily briefings were the norm, and it has been a top focus of media attention for months. With all that attention, however, little to no useful education has been disseminated on the importance of boosting our level of personal health. That oversight continues despite the fact that authorities now fully understand that our risk of suffering the most serious impacts of this virus is frequently related to preconditions resulting from our food choices.

Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto for this interview with internationally-recognized teacher, author and health/diet expert, Dr. Michael Klaper. Dr. Klaper is a long-time, devoted educator of physicians and other healthcare professionals about the importance of nutrition in clinical practice and integrative medicine. This show will discuss his Moving Medicine Forward, a much-needed initiative that is bringing the revolutionary ideas of disease reversal through plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine to medical schools across the country. They’ll also discuss his new Master Class in Plant-based Clinical Nutrition for medical students and health professionals who want to help their patients heal on the deepest levels.

Dr. Klaper’s wealth of knowledge and wisdom on diet and health is matched by his passion for healing the world and encouraging others to live a life where dietary choices are guided by a true desire for peace and compassion.

In this lively discussion, you’ll hear:

– Dr. Klaper’s life journey from his youth on a dairy farm, to his work as a medical professional strongly focused on revolutionizing the way medicine is practiced.

– the main preexisting conditions that are making us more vulnerable to the worst impact of COVID-19, and how they are almost completely preventable, and reversible with a scientifically-proven, whole foods, plant-based diet.

– how the same diet that can improve our ability to take on the coronavirus can definitively reduce our risk of the degenerative diseases that are killing most Americans.

– how the industry practices that caused the coronavirus to reach humans, are also causing us to suffer the worst effects of the virus.

– how vibrant health in our old age can be the norm when we choose the diet that our bodies were designed for!

– a stern warning to those eating (and promoting) high-animal product diets, from the keto to the carnivore, the paleo and more–short-term gains come with serious long-term, increased risks from heart attacks, colon cancer and more.

– what it will take to revamp our healthcare system from one that focuses on treating symptoms to one that creates health.

– why Dr. Klaper states that it’s unethical for medical practitioners to not recommend scientifically-established dietary and lifestyle modification to patients, before major and unnecessary surgical procedures.

– how malpractice suits could soon oblige medical practitioners to inform their patients about the power of a whole foods, plant-based diet to reverse their serious health conditions.

– Dr. Kaper’s exciting program to directly educate medical students with the powerful understanding that they can choose to be healers, versus falling victim to the dreaded disease, “pharmicosclerosis.”

…and much more!
