Healthy Hormones For Disease Prevention With Neal Barnard MD
Neal Barnard MD our much loved fellow vegan is a Doctor, researcher, founder and president of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Barnard Medical Center. As a pioneer, musician, author, teacher, friend and much more, he is simply one of the nicest people I know and has a heart the size of Goliath. In my interview with Dr. Barnard we cover many aspects of hormonal health and how to balance your hormones with food.
Dr. Barnards latest book Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Foods, Hormones, and Health is a fantastic resource for men and women alike. Hidden in everyday foods are the causes of a surprising range of health problems: infertility, menstrual cramps, weight gain, hair loss, breast and prostate cancer, hot flashes, and much more. All of these conditions have one thing in common: they are fuelled by hormones that are hiding in foods or are influenced by the foods we eat. Your Body in Balance provides step-by-step guidance for understanding what's at the root of your suffering-and what you can do to feel better fast. Few people realize that a simple food prescription can help you tackle all these and more by gently restoring your hormone balance, with benefits rivaling medications.
Animal Testing
As a long-time vegan, Dr. Barnard and his team at PCRM work tirelessly with government and industry to replace the use of animal tests with modern methods to test the safety of cosmetics, chemicals, pesticides, drugs, and other products. Through lobbying, publishing research, training scientists, and attending and conducting scientific meetings, the Physicians Committee is dedicated to the goal of eliminating the use of animal testing across the globe.
COVID-19
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Physicians Committee has advocated for the use of nonanimal research methods in the search for treatments and a vaccine for COVID-19 and in the study of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
California - Cruelty-Free Cosmetics
In 2018, the Physicians Committee co-sponsored the Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act, which California signed into law. The law will make it unlawful for cosmetic manufacturers to sell any cosmetic in California if the final product or any component of the product was tested on animals after Jan. 1, 2020, with some exceptions for regulatory requirements. The Physicians Committee continues to work for federal reform that will eliminate animal testing for cosmetics.
Music Unites The World
Aside from the huge amount of research and work Dr. Barnard does daily with PCRM and Barnard Medical Centre, he composes music with his band Carbon Works. Raising awareness for humans to connect the dots to our animal kingdom and to bring some much needed calm to the world he wrote this beautiful lullaby. You feel better simply by being in the room with Dr. Neal Barnard, and therein lies the truth and depth of his soul.
