NUTRITION’S FAVORITE TEAM IS CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FOOD AND HOW TO APPLY THAT TO YOUR PLATE.

Dr. Loomis, along with his post as the Medical Director at the Center for Plant-based Living, he is also a practicing Lifestyle Medicine clinician and the Medical Director at the Physician’s Committee in Washington D.C. Caryn is a plant-based chef and the founder of the Center for Plant-based Living in St. Louis, MO. Together, Jim and Caryn are taking the top nutrition topics and answering all the questions surrounding them in short 10-20 minute videos.

· Can you get enough protein on a plant-based diet?
· Is gluten bad for me?
· What's wrong with nightshades?
· What are nightshades and should I avoid them?

In every episode the Doc and Chef team will focus on one topic. Jim, the Doc, will explain the science in easy-to-understand language, and Caryn, the Chef, will show you how to take that science and easily apply it to your plate.
