#126 “Meat me Halfway”, Reducetarianism with Brian Kateman

Todays Snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about preventing heart disease using medications vs stents.On the full episode we talk more about the impact of diet, meditation and other lifestyle measures but this snippet on episode 30 where I speak with Consultant Dr Zarrin Shaikh, illustrates the point that it’s not always the more aggressive procedures (like stenting) that yield the best outcomes. Sometimes medications can be just as, if not more effective, and lifestyle medicine should also be part of that care package. I highly recommend you listen to episode 30 for the full discussion, as well as my solo episode 202 on dietary changes to lower your cholesterol.🥗 Join the newsletter and 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram🐦 Tweet meWe would love to get your feedback on the subject matter of these episodes - please do let me know on our social media pages (Instagram, Facebook & Twitter) what you think, and give us a 5* rating on your podcast player if you enjoyed today’s episode.

A lot of relatives have told me in the past about chewing cloves everyday. It’s part of a habit for some people and a traditional cure for toothache and gum disease. But, depending on who you speak to, the benefits extend to the digestive system, inflammation and even longevity.So here at the Doctor’s Kitchen we decided to do a deep dive into this wonderfully strong spice that we use often in recipes such as broths, stews and of course biryani.Here are the things you need to knowIt’s a potent spice that at the very least, contributes more polyphenols and diversity to your plate. The chemicals found in cloves are particularly interestingIt is linked to many beneficial properties, especially antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic benefits but human trials are lacking.Whole cloves are generally considered safe but clove oil or supplements need to be used with caution.🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our websiteYou can download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Todays Snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about Olive Oil. I love extra virgin olive oil because not only is it a fantastic carrier of flavour, a great fat to use for better absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, but it’s chock full of polyphenols and the studies providing evidence for its benefits are numerous. If you want to learn more about olive oil, listen episode 99 with Dr Simon Poole on the main Doctor’s Kitchen Podcast.🥗 Join the newsletter and 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram🐦 Tweet meWe would love to get your feedback on the subject matter of these episodes - please do let me know on our social media pages (Instagram, Facebook & Twitter) what you think, and give us a 5* rating on your podcast player if you enjoyed today’s episode.
