The Plantwise Podcast is all about evidence-based healthy lifestyle habits and the books that inspire them. Hosted with Brigitte Gemme, Ph.D., the show focuses on plant-based nutrition and the foundations of long-term well-being: exercise, sleep, stress management, community, and a positive mindset. We want to know how to prevent chronic disease and cognitive decline, so we can enjoy long, healthy, active, and meaningful lives.
The podcast features a mix of interviews with plant-friendly authors and solo episodes where Brigitte shares insight from the most important health books of our time.
What are they actually saying? What's the bigger pictures? How does it look like to live those ideas? Let's talk about it.

Dr. Michael Klaper was raised on a dairy farm, became a physician in 1972, and spent his first decade in medicine watching his patients get sicker. Then, he connected the dots: it's the food, doc!
For the past 40+ years, he has been one of the most beloved voices in plant-based medicine, reversing high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, and more thanks to the whole plant food diet.
In 2017, he founded his not-for-profit Moving Medicine Forward to (finally!) bring nutrition education to medical schools across North America. He just published his book by the same name, and it's FANTASTIC!
In this conversation we talk about:
- The "toxic red tide" of molecules that flood your bloodstream every time you have a cheeseburger
- Why most doctors know next to nothing about nutrition (and what that costs their patients)
- What it takes to change someone's diet in a clinical setting
- Whether the medical system can be redeemed
- And why Dr. Klaper is the happiest of doctors!
Whether you are in the medical system as a patient or as a health professional, you'll LOVE this episode.
