The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

Avez déjà entendu parler du fatty liver, le foie gras ou bien la steatose hépatique? Cette condition médicale fait partie de l’ensemble des maladies chroniques qui font parti du spectrum des maladies métaboliques, comme la résistance à l’insuline et le diabète type 2. Heureusement, il y’a beaucoup de choses que l’on peut faire avec nos habitudes de vie afin de prévenir ou même renverser cette condition médicale  dangereuse.

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a major risk factor for our first killer worldwide, cardiovascular disease. Although no one is pretending that eating a stalk of celery will impact blood pressure the same way that pharmacologic doses of medication would, it’s important to recognize that small impacts add up. 

For those who have only minimal increases in BP, certain specific nutrients have been shown to hav...

The paleo diet gets a lot of things right.  It tells you to ditch candy bars, doughnuts and processed junk.  That's where we can agree.  But here's where we don't.  "Eat like a caveman" is the premise of this dietary pattern.  I'm sure our paleo ancestors were the picture of health, considering the average life expectancy was less than 30 years. Cavemen didn't even survive long enough to suffer fr...

I personally enjoy drinking kombucha!  It contains beneficial bacteria, yeast, organic acids, vitamins and polyphenols.

Although this drink is a type of carbonated tea that has been consumed around the world for thousands of years, it seems to have made quite a comeback lately and people are promoting it as the next big miracle cure for everything from gut health to mental health.  Is there any proof to the hype?  Is komb...

If I've asked myself this question, I might assume someone else has too.  Do fruits and veggies lose nutrients when frozen?  Is the fresh version healthier?  Often, I fail to eat all the produce I've bought.  I honestly despise throwing away food but when I see that weird fuzzy fungi stuff growing on my strawberries, I know I have no choice.  Sounds familiar?

Saviez vous que les changements métaboliques qui mènent au diabète peuvent être dépistés longtemps avant le diagnostique? Saviez vous que la dysfontion métabolique existe sur un spectrum et que nous avons pas besoin d'attendre qu'il soit trop tard avant d'agir? 

La prévention, l'éducation et la motivation d'agir précocement est à la base de la prévention de maladies métaboliques comme le diabète, e...

Before I started my plant-based journey, I had no clue what nutritional yeast was or the benefits it could provide.  Now, I use it regularly in sauces, soups and stir-frys.  I sprinkle it on salads, mashed potatoes, rice, vegetables and popcorn! Let's explore what it is and why you should consider incorporating it in your diet.

That fatigue you feel, those sleepless nights, that nagging pain that you carry around everyday…they can all be traced back to inflammation.  Whether it’s the common cold, arthritis, back pain, Crohn’s disease or lupus, lowering your inflammation can play a preventative and sometimes even a curative role in all of these diseases.  Inflammation contributes to many conditions, from blocked arteries to depression.  The type of inflamm...

Si on pourrait mettre l'exercice dans une pillule, ju certain que plusieurs la prendrait. Mais malheureusement pour l'instant, faudra simplement faire le travail pour recruter les bénéfices. 

Voici le lien à l'étude citée le long de l'épisode!

Y'a une immense différence entre "information" et "transformation". 

Vous pouvez avoir toute l'éducation au monde, mais si vous ne savez pas comment vous adapter aux curveballs de la vie, ou bien vous ne savez pas comment intégrer des nouvelles habitudes dans votre vie déja très occupée, cette information est gaspillée.

Durant cette épisode, on parlera de concepts comme le stade de ch...

Breast cancer is bad news.  One out of every 8 women will get diagnosed and 1 out of every 30-40 will die from it.  Keeping a straight poker face while nervously and cautiously palpating a suspicious breast mass is an art, but unfortunately we get quite good at it.

Most people aren't ready to change.  But do you know who is?  The people whom I've just given a crushing diagnosis to.  It’s impressive how these peop...

I always find it interesting when patients tell me they don't "believe" in meds, yet they do absolutely nothing to not need them.  

Modern medical advances and pharmaceuticals are among the main reasons that we live longer lives while having unhealthy lifestyles.  I wish modern medicine and lifestyle medicine would get married and have children, so we could bridge the gap between them, in...

Weight management is hard.  Two thirds of people are overweight or obese, and although fat shaming is despicable, talking about the health risks associated with carrying excess body fat shouldn’t ever be off limits, or taboo.  I truly believe that knowledge is power, and anyone looking for an optimal body weight should understand the nuts and bolts of the process.  Although I don’t pretend to be a weight loss expert, I do believe e...

Une de mes premières inquiétudes entourant ma transition vers un régime à base de plantes était son impact sur ma performance athlétique.

Les protéines, les calories, les glucides ?
