Your Blood Is Like a Milkshake: A Doctor Explains Why – episode 2

For episode 1 click here

In our latest interview with board-certified physician Dr. Peter Rogers, we explore the fascinating connection between what’s on your plate and what’s happening in your brain.

Why you should watch:

Dr. Rogers delivers eye-opening insights about how high-fat meals (yes, even the “healthy fats”) create “blood sludge” – a condition where your red blood cells stick together, dramatically reducing oxygen delivery to your brain and other vital organs. Just one high-fat meal can reduce oxygen to your brain by up to 30% for hours!

Key highlights from this information-packed session:

* Why all dietary fat (not just saturated fat) contributes to atherosclerosis

* How fiber protects both your gut AND your blood-brain barrier

* The shocking impact of leaky gut on brain inflammation and cognitive decline

* Why common foods and habits promote excessive blood clotting

* The connection between kidney function and brain health

* How processed foods and chemicals damage your microglia (your brain’s immune cells)

If you’re concerned about maintaining sharp cognitive function as you age or want to understand why so many people experience brain fog, memory issues, and cognitive decline, this interview provides crucial scientific context.

Dr. Rogers backs everything with research while explaining complex mechanisms in accessible terms. His no-nonsense approach cuts through nutrition myths and offers practical insights for protecting your brain health.

MMR Whistleblower

March 10, 2025

We begin today with an incredible story that spans 25 years, so far. It involves the MMR vaccine against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella given to most American babies in two doses. Yet you probably never heard about this controversy. It’s brought to us by a scientist named Stephen Krahling who worked on a project at Merck called “Protocol 7” and was uniquely positioned to blow the whistle on what he learned. In the bigger sense, his account raises questions about what can go on unknown to most of us about products injected into nearly all children.

“Stop Getting Annual Physicals!” – Dr. McDougall’s Surprising Advice

This is Jeff Nelson’s February 2025 newsletter, looking back at a 2012 discussion video. He is quoted as follows:

From The Archives: Plant-Based Experts Answer Your Questions (2012)

I recently came across a fascinating Q&A panel from our 2012 VegSource Healthy Lifestyle Expo featuring some of the pioneers in plant-based nutrition, including Drs. John McDougall and Michael Klaper, Brenda Davis RD, Rich Roll, John and Ocean Robbins, and Rev. Heng Sure. Here are some of the compelling topics they addressed:

Autism & Relationship-Based Approaches

A pediatrician asked about promising treatments for autism, specifically regarding eye contact improvements. The panel discussed relationship-based approaches like the Son-Rise Program as alternatives to behavioral modification, emphasizing how these principles could benefit all relationships.

B12 Supplementation

The experts discussed vitamin B12 recommendations, with consensus around supplementing with either 100 or 1000 mcg doses. Dr. McDougall emphasized that brand choice wasn’t critical, but proper dosing was key due to absorption rates.

Cancer & Diet

Dr. McDougall shared his groundbreaking 1982 study on dietary treatment of breast cancer. While noting that hardcore randomized controlled trial data is limited (largely due to funding priorities favoring drug research), he emphasized the logic of removing dietary factors that may have contributed to the cancer’s development.

Fruit Consumption

There was an interesting discussion about optimal fruit intake. Dr. McDougall recommended limiting to about three fresh fruits daily for the general population, while Brenda Davis shared that she personally consumes 5-6 servings daily. They cautioned against excessive fruit juice consumption and rapid smoothie consumption, suggesting taking time to properly chew and digest smoothies.

Raw Food Diets

The panel had a thought-provoking exchange about raw food diets. Dr. McDougall strongly advocated for cooked foods, stating that human civilization developed because of cooking. Brenda Davis suggested a more moderate approach, recommending 60-75% raw combined with some cooked foods for better nutrient absorption.

Annual Physical Exams

In a surprising take, Dr. McDougall strongly advised against routine annual physical exams, citing recommendations from medical authorities that they can lead to over-testing and unnecessary treatments. He emphasized that the body will signal when medical attention is needed.

The discussion highlighted how many of these topics remain relevant today, while also showing how our understanding has evolved over the past decade. It’s fascinating to look back at these conversations that helped shape the plant-based movement.
