There is good news for women aged 45 and over: A new research study shows that women can get prompt relief from the most severe and troubling menopause symptoms without drugs.
WHAT?! That’s right! In our latest episode of Food Heals Allison Melody talks to PCRM President Dr. Neal Barnard, author of Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food, Hormones, and Health. In his latest study, his research team found a way to knock out hot flashes using just a simple diet change.
As many as 80% of postmenopausal women suffer from hot flashes. Heat wells up from the chest, causing flushing, sweating, and chills. At night, hot flashes interfere with sleep.
Estrogen-based medications were once routinely used to treat hot flashes but have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer and other serious problems. Isoflavone extracts from soybeans work only modestly, leaving women and their doctors with few effective options.
A new study, published by the North American Menopause Society in the journal Menopause, found a powerful new diet approach that reduces moderate-to-severe hot flashes more than 80%, from nearly five per day to less than one per day.
During the 12-week study, nearly 60% of women became totally free of moderate-to-severe hot flashes.

Who's ready for a throwback double-header??
You heard that right!!!
Back in 2015, I had to pleasure of interviewing two plant-powered doctors on #FoodHeals, and listeners fell in love; so I decided to bring it back as I want to share these inspiring interviews with you!
First up, we have America's Holistic heart doctor, Dr. Joel Kahn, who believes that plant-based nutrition is the most potent source of preventive medicine. Following his plant-based vegan diet, he began to dive into non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics, and nutrition-based protocols, which led him to focus on being a holistic cardiologist.
He passionately lectures throughout the country about the benefits of living a plant-based anti-aging diet and inspiring a new generation to think about nutrition and its power to heal our bodies. During his interview, we chat about food, how to eat to live, longevity, sex, stress, and so much more.
After that, we welcome Dr. John McDougall, a physician, speaker, and best-selling author who teaches the importance of a whole-food, starched-based diet to halt, reverse, and prevent chronic diseases. He's also the co-founder of the Mcdougall program alongside his wife Mary McDougall, where they provide whole-food plant-based vegan recipes that are low in fat and oil-free. "The sicker you are, the happier I am" is Dr. McDougall's motos (which I love) because he gets to help his patients feel better, which is his life's work.
Dr. Joel Kahn and Dr. John McDougall are two amazing doctors. They are not only passionate about health and providing real solutions to illness, but they also love helping people gain back their well-being.
This will be a great episode and prequel to next week's episode, where we will be talking to another doctor about promoting a plant-powered diet for his patients. He will also be sharing the one diet switch that every woman needs to make to prevent menopause symptoms. That will be with Dr. Neal Barnard, who has been on the show before and works with Dr. Khan and Dr. McDougall. So you don't want to miss it!!!
Join us @foodhealsnation, @Dr. Khan and @Dr. John McDougall and learn about:
🌟 Why these doctors are prescribing plant-based nutrition to their patients
🌟 Tips on longevity, stress, sex, and how to stay alive
🌟 How to detox our bodies of endocrine-disrupting chemicals
🌟 6 Tips to avoiding a heart attack
🌟 How a plant-based diet can help chronic diseases
🌟 Why incorporating starchy foods into your diet is a game-changer!
🌟 Healthy eating habits that make no sense (You will be shocked!)

Did you know that the secrets to vitality and self-healing have been around for the past 5000 years?
It may sound like some archaic tradition, but you’ll recognize the intuitive healing wisdom of Ayurveda deeply ingrained in many of the things that we do in our daily lives.
In our latest episode of The Food Heals Podcast, I invited Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh to help us demystify the ancient practice of Ayurveda and how we can start applying it to achieve and maintain optimal health in our modern lives.
Dr. Avanti is the author of The Health Catalyst: How to Harness the Power of Ayurveda and Achieve Optimal Wellness, and the podcast host of The Healing Catalyst Podcast. After struggling with stress and burnout at the peak of her medical training, Dr Avanti started seeing the limitations of modern medicine and decided to seek answers to practices that were close to her roots.
In her journey of learning and practicing Ayurveda to heal herself, she started teaching her patients the same principles and saw firsthand how they achieved results beyond what Western medicine could explain.
Today, Dr. Avanti successfully combines her training in Western medicine and her deep understanding of Ayurvedic principles to help others discover a more holistic and effective approach to healing.
Check out Dr. Avanti’s book, The Health Catalyst: How to Harness the Power of Ayurveda and Achieve Optimal Wellness on Amazon.
Join us @foodhealsnation and @avantikumarsingh to learn more about:
🌟 How Dr. Avanti’s medical training brought her to seek answers in Ayurvedic principles
🌟 The secret to optimal health and a vibrant life
🌟 The golden principle of Ayurveda
🌟 How to think of everything in the Universe in terms of qualities
🌟 Why staying still can help you find answers within on how to self-heal
🌟 How the Western medicine’s model of symptom remedy overlooks treating the root of the problem
🌟 Why eating warm, cooked food can help remedy anxiety
🌟 The reason why the perfect diet doesn’t exist
🌟 Why you should grab whatever’s cheapest in the produce section of your local grocery store
🌟 How to make use of the three main tools of yoga to address anxiety
🌟 How to tap into the power of breath to shift yourself into your desired state
🌟 Simple strategies to shift yourself out of acute stress states to boost your immune system
