The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

L’inflammation est à la base de plusieurs maladies chroniques communes. C’est quoi l’inflammation? C’est quoi la difference entre l’inflammation aiguë et chronique?

Comment pouvons nous la réduire à l’aide de notre nutrition?

Est-ce qu’il y a autres moyens de la réduire? 

On en parlera en long et en large dans cet episode portant sur l’inflammation! 

Si vous l'avez pas encore fait, n'oubliez pas ...

If you’ve navigated nutritional information online, you’ve quickly noticed some people labelling food ingredients or nutrients good or bad. 

Unfortunately, that’s not the way food works. Some nutrients are health promoting while other nutrients are disease promoting. But there are a lot of nuances to consider before making such bold statements.

In this episode, we will cover the important details that make certain...

There is a ton of misinformation online and I can’t blame the general public for being confused. 

I can’t even imagine how difficult is must be to decipher all of the contradictory claims out there. It seems that anyone can be a nutrition expert online and that we have more and more influencers, demonizing common foods and ingredients in order to sell you alternative treatments. 

My pet peeve, and a major red flag...

Bienvenue à la première épisode de la 2e saison de mon podcast! N'oubliez que la première saison contient 55 épisodes de contenu lié à la nutrition, l'exercice ainsi que la médecine du mode de vie!

Durant cet épisode, je discuterai des défis d'être une maman et ninja plant-based.

C'est pas tout le temps des roses. Être maman, athlète, ninja, entrepreneure et plant-based n'est pas toujours ...

J'ai eu le plaisir d'apparaitre pour une 3e fois sur le podcast acadien "Cosser T'en Penses?" avec mes amis Frank et Lee.

Durant cet épisode, qui sera la dernière de 2024 et la 55e de l'année, on parlera des nuances en nutrition, des exagérations vues en ligne et souvent partagées par les non-experts dans le but de créer des émotions. Souvent, les gens profitent de la vulnérabilité des gens af...

Êtes-vous un adolescent francophone, ou le parent d’un ou une? 

Connaissez-vous les sujets qui préoccupent plusieurs de nos ados?

Si oui, cet épisode pourrait être pour vous!

J’ai récemment eu le plaisir de collaborer avec la classe de Mme Stephanie de l’école Mathieu Martin de Dieppe, au Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. 

J’ai reçu plein de bonnes questions qui ont générer des discussions nuancées sur ...

Online influencers praise and sell their health hacks to vulnerable individuals. They prey on people’s fears and create problems in order to sell them the solution. Although biohacks seem sexy, their impact on long term health are eclipsed by the actual impact of proper lifestyle choices.

Nutrition, exercise, sleep, social connections and stress management may not be as sexy as cold plunges, but they’re exponentially more ...

People often use the slogan « Everything in Moderation » to either justify unhealthy habits, or to fear monger others. One of my patients was scared of the radiation from a mammogram, while walking around with an LDL-C of 5.2.

She refused breast cancer screening when 1/8 women will get diagnosed and also minimized her very high blood cholesterol levels, unknowingly living with a very high risk of cardiovascular disease, ou...

La plupart des gens connaissent leur taux d’hypothèque, le coût de l’essence et les taux d’intérêt de leurs cartes de crédit, mais ne connaissent pas les chiffres qui prédisent le plus leurs taux de maladies chroniques et leur mortalité. 

Durant cet épisode, on révisera les prises de sang les plus communes et comment interpréter vos bilans sanguins de routine.

Have you ever heard of turmeric, the golden yellow spice that supposedly has many health claims, like accelerated healing, treating inflammation and reversing auto-immune conditions?  Is this hype or evidence based?  Since it costs pennies per day, it probably isn’t a marketing scam, because there’s no profit margin in selling spices.

Spices are perfectly suited to get studied in double blind, randomized and placebo contro...

The vast majority of us aren't born plant-based. Something triggered an AHA moment for some, while for others, it was a long and reflected journey.  

Even after transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, we still end up making up less than a few percent of the population.  Estimates suggest that 7-8% of Canadians are vegetarian and a much lower percentage of them are vegan.  Having been a meat ...

Over the last decade, there's been a steady rise in the availability and popularity of plant-based meats.  But are they really healthier than what they're trying to replace?  Are they better for the environment?  Are they worth considering or adding to your plate?  Do I feed them to my kids?  In this article, I'll break down what they are, how they're made and what nutrients they contain, includ...

This one says to eat according to your blood type, while that one recommends eating like cavemen.  In 2013, the Paleo diet was the most googled diet out there.  Did anyone tell the Paleos that cavemen barely lived to thirty?  What about the keto diet?  That one regained popularity in 2016.  Why would we want to avoid fruits, grains and beans when they’re among the foods most associated with health and longevity? You probably know s...

Have you ever experienced bloating, abdominal cramping, pain or distention?  Do you consider yourself sensitive or intolerant to certain foods?  Do you avoid eating foods that you know are healthy, simply because they cause abdominal symptoms that aren't worth the discomfort?

You could be suffering from IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, and some of the foods you're avoiding may be the solution, not the pro...

Les maladies cardiovasculaires, ainsi que le cancer du colon et de la prostate sont parmi les plus grands tueurs chez l’homme. Heureusement que plusieurs des facteurs de risque qui contribuent à ces maladies sont potentiellement modifiables par des changements d’habitudes de vie. 

Durant cet episode, je discuterai de comment la nutrition et vos habitudes de vie peuvent impacter de façon significative les chances d’être aux...

No single food has been as glorified or as vilified as coconuts and all its variations.  

What to make of whole coconuts, coconut water, coconut milk or coconut oil?  Some swear by their mystical healing powers, while others avoid it like the plague.  Who to believe?  Are coconuts healthy?  Let’s examine coconuts through scientific lenses and analyze the nutrients in whole coconuts, coconut milk an...

For generations, we've known that plant-based dietary patterns were more ethical. Then we started to notice how our food system was harming the environment and using finite resources irresponsibly.  Now, thanks to over 20 000 studies getting published on plant-based nutrition in 2021 alone, we have a much clearer understanding of how adopting a plant-predominant dietary pattern can impact health, both positively and even negat...
