This episode is a heart-expanding masterclass in truth-telling about the food on our plates. Dr. Nikki sits down with the legendary Dr. Michael Klaper MD, plant-based pioneer, and all-around beautiful human, to unpack the science, soul, and spiritual responsibility behind our dietary choices.
Together, they tackle the most common question in the plant-based world: “But where do you get your protein?” (Spoiler alert: same place elephants and gorillas do. Plants, baby!) But that’s just the appetizer. We dive deep into the toxic toll of animal-based diets, on our health, our hearts, our ecosystems, and our humanity.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
Why protein deficiency is a myth (and how gorillas prove it)
The 4 foods to avoid right now to reduce inflammation and disease
How dairy hijacks your hormones and fuels conditions like fibroids and prostate cancer
What microplastics, fish, and fast food have in common (hint: it’s not good)
Why fasting and juice cleanses are ancient keys to modern healing
How to stop the post-cleanse feeding frenzy with grace and long-term success
The real role of doctors—and why medicine must move forward
Stop waiting for a diagnosis. Start listening to your body. Your healing begins at your next bite. Share this episode with someone you love and let's all move medicine forward—together.
