  • Dying Teaches Us How To Live: A Doctor's Reflection
    Death comes for us all, yet most of us live as though immortal. As a physician who's witnessed countless final moments, I've observed a heartbreaking pattern: people realizing too late that their health was never guaranteed, but rather the culmination of thousands of daily choices.This episode dives deep into what the deceased might tell us if they could speak again. The bedside confessions are startlingly consistent: "I thought I had more time." "I was too proud to change." "I wish I'd started healing sooner." These aren't just emotional pleas—they reflect a medical reality that the scientific literature confirms. According to the Danish Twin Study, roughly 80% of our health span and lifespan is determined not by our genetics, but by our lifestyle choices. While genetics may load the gun, it's our daily habits around nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management that pull the trigger.Most chronic diseases aren't random acts of nature or bad luck—they're slow-building consequences of lives led on autopilot. The damage accumulates silently for years: high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, insulin resistance, inflammation. By the time symptoms appear, significant harm has often already occurred. Yet this sobering reality comes with empowering news: you still have time. You're not powerless. The body has remarkable capacity for healing when given the right conditions. Sustainable health isn't built through 28-day challenges or miracle supplements, but through consistent choices made over months and decades. What small change could you make today that your future self would thank you for? Because someday isn't on the calendar, and later is never guaranteed.

  • Why Real Men Get Checkups: A Guide to Preventative Health
    Death doesn't wait for symptoms, and neither should you. This eye-opening episode tackles the critical yet often avoided topic of men's health during Men's Health Month.Did you know men are 24% less likely than women to have seen a doctor in the past year? The statistics are alarming, but there's hope. Whether you identify as male or simply care about the men in your life, this conversation could literally save lives. Dr. Jules dives deep into why men avoid healthcare (hint: it's not laziness) and how cultural messaging about "toughness" and "manning up" contributes to shorter male lifespans.The episode delivers a comprehensive breakdown of the top three killers of men - heart disease, cancer, and strokes - with practical strategies for prevention. Rather than vague advice, Dr. Jules provides age-specific screening recommendations from your 20s through your 60s and beyond. Through compelling real patient stories, including a 52-year-old man who was a "walking time bomb" despite feeling fine and a 59-year-old whose delayed colonoscopy led to advanced cancer, the message becomes clear: waiting for symptoms can be deadly.What makes this conversation especially powerful is its framing of men's health as a family issue. Women, who make up over 80% of the podcast's audience and often serve as family health coordinators, receive practical guidance on supporting the men they love. The episode concludes with a profound reminder that prevention isn't just about extending life, but enriching it.

  • The Truth About Fasting: Beyond the Hype
    Fasting has become a health buzzword, but beneath the hype lies a complex metabolic tool with specific benefits and important caveats. In this comprehensive exploration, I break down the science behind different fasting approaches and reveal why not all fasting styles deliver the same results.The episode distinguishes between four major fasting types that are often confused: prolonged fasting (multi-day), intermittent fasting (alternate day or 5:2), time-restricted eating (daily eating windows), and fasting-mimicking diets (low-calorie regimens). Each approach affects your body differently, and understanding these distinctions is crucial before embarking on any fasting regimen.While fasting shows impressive benefits for weight management, metabolic health, inflammation reduction, and potentially even cancer treatment support, these advantages come with important qualifications. The podcast reveals a critical insight often overlooked: fasting paired with poor nutrition during eating windows can negate most benefits and potentially cause harm. For those primarily interested in weight loss, the evidence suggests early time-restricted eating (finishing dinner by 5-6pm) provides the most sustainable approach with the strongest scientific backing.The episode also addresses special considerations for athletes, medication users, and those with specific health conditions. We explore why some people might experience rising cholesterol with certain fasting approaches, how fasting affects muscle maintenance, and the emerging research on fasting's role in cancer therapy.Whether you're curious about skipping breakfast, considering a five-day fast, or simply want to understand how your eating pattern affects your health, this evidence-based breakdown cuts through the confusion to help you make informed decisions about incorporating fasting into your lifestyle.

  • Beyond Hot Flashes: Understanding the Change and Thriving Through Menopause
    Menopause represents a profound biological transition that affects millions of women, yet most enter this phase with more questions than answers. In this comprehensive two-part exploration, we break down what's actually happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause—and why symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, and weight gain aren't just things you need to "tough out."The hormonal rollercoaster of menopause affects nearly every system in your body, from temperature regulation to mood, bone density, and cardiovascular health. As estrogen and progesterone production declines, the hypothalamus (your brain's thermostat) struggles to regulate body temperature, leading to those notorious hot flashes and night sweats. Sleep becomes disrupted as melatonin and serotonin levels fluctuate, creating a vicious cycle where poor sleep increases stress hormones that further worsen symptoms.Beyond the immediate discomfort, menopause brings significant long-term health considerations. Post-menopausal women face increased risks of cardiovascular disease, accelerated bone loss, metabolic dysfunction, and even cognitive decline. But these changes aren't inevitable sentences—they're biological processes we can influence through both medical approaches and lifestyle modifications.Modern hormone replacement therapy is much safer than many believe, especially when started before age 60. The six pillars of lifestyle medicine—nutrition, physical activity, sleep hygiene, stress management, avoiding risky substances, and social connection—provide powerful tools for managing symptoms and protecting long-term health. A plant-predominant diet rich in phytoestrogens, combined with regular resistance training and stress reduction techniques, creates a foundation for thriving through this transition.Menopause isn't the end of vitality—it's the beginning of a potentially powerful new chapter that deserves science, support, and solidarity. With knowledge as your compass and practical strategies as your toolkit, you can navigate this transition with confidence rather than confusion. Your best years aren't behind you—they're unfolding right now.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules
