In this episode of At the Helm, Dr. Charles Helm explores the intersection of food, sociology, and chronic disease with Dr. Don Wilson, an obstetrician and gynaecologist from the Heiltsuk First Nation.
Dr. Wilson shares his personal journey and professional insights into the impact of diet on health, particularly within Indigenous communities. He discusses the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, the importance of traditional diets, and the challenges posed by modern, western, processed foods. Dr. Wilson emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive approaches to dietary counseling and the profound benefits of returning to ancestral eating practices.
Join us for a compelling conversation on how traditional foods can be a powerful tool in combating chronic diseases and fostering community resilience.
