The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

Si y'a de quoi qui me décourage, c’est quand mes patients me disent qu’ils ont arrêté de manger des fruits pis des patates parce qu’ils contenaient trop de sucre.  Durant cet episode, on parlera d’aspartame, du sucre, pis de comment c’est impossible de parler de nuances dans un vidéo de 20 secondes sur TikTok.

I've been in practice for almost 15 years and I've witnessed some pretty intense situations.  I'm not a brain surgeon, or an oncologist.  I don't cut people's skull open or prescribe chemotherapy, but I’m an expert in getting to know you. I know your kids.  And if you've been a patient of mine long enough, I might even know the name of your dog.  We’ve probably been through a lot together.  I'm &q...

Le cancer du colon est en 2e place en terme d’incidence, pas loin en arrière du cancer du sein chez la femme et du cancer de la prostate chez l’homme. Heureusement que c’est un cancer que l’on peut non-seulement dépister à ses stages précoces mais que l’on peut aussi prévenir.

Durant cet épisode, on discutera de comment votre style de vie ainsi que vos habitudes alimentaires peuvent impacter votre risque de souffrir d’un c...

Let’s downshift back to a simple question that many people ask me: “What does a plant-based doctor actually eat in a day?”. 

After pre-med, medical school, medical residency and after almost 15 years of medical practice and teaching at our local medical school, it’s safe to say that I’ve accumulated lots of random facts, knowledge and experience.  But over the last 7-8 years, I’ve focused most of my energy and spare time on scouring...

Did you know that most people with chronic diseases will live shorter lives and could spend the final 6 years as disabled, while relying on family and the healthcare system.  And did you know that it’s fairly realistic to extend the length of your life, while maintaining the quality of it, through lifestyle modification? I mean, what's the point of living longer if the quality of those years suck?  Chronic diseases like diabet...

On today's episode, let's answer these important questions:

1. If someone you were talking to was concerned about their protein intake if they moved to a plant-based diet (because they heard that plant-based protein isn't as "good" as an animal-based diet), what would you say to them?
2. If the person asked about how much protein they should be eating in a day, what would you say to them?
3. What are some examples ...

People seem to panic when it comes to getting enough protein, particularly when I mention plant-based diets.  Everyone seems to be worried about hitting protein requirements, even though I've never seen a case of protein deficiency in my 15 years of medical practice.  We now have an abundance of research confirming that even vegans who aren't paying particular attention to plant-based sources of protein are still hitting ...

Do you think dietary fat is bad?  Do you follow a low fat diet because you think a high fat diet is unhealthy?  Have we all been duped?

In the seventies and eighties, there was this general recommendation to avoid fat, thinking that fat was causing disease.  We hadn’t yet started to study the different types of fat and knew nothing about good fats.  Even governmental guidelines recommended low-fat diets.  The fear of fat was more th...

You've most certainly heard the phrase: "carbs are the enemy".  I'm hoping the person who made that statement wasn't a registered dietitian or a medical doctor, although if they were, I’m guessing they sell lifestyle books or wellness programs.  Turns out I was partly right.  In fact, carbs have been vilified since the dawn of the low-carb diet.  In the 1970's, Dr Robert Atkins, the father of the low-c...

Let me explain how calories from whole plant foods behave differently from the processed foods most people consume.  I’m sure you’ve heard it before.  “Calories in must equal calories out”, otherwise weight gain will follow.  This is nuanced and only partly true.  The saying “a calorie is a calorie“ assumes that a calorie coming from any food source, whether it’s French fries or a garden salad, will behave the same way once in our ...
