The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

Tired of nutrition talk that never makes it to your plate? We bring healthy eating down to earth with a flavor-first, plant-forward playbook you can use tonight. Instead of chasing trends or perfect macros, we focus on recipes that reduce friction: fast prep, familiar ingredients, and flexible formats that fit your life. The result is a rotation you actually crave, built on protein, fiber, and variety so meals satisfy and stick. We share the story behind our community recipe books that...

Chronic disease keeps rising even as medicine advances, and we’re asking the wrong system to solve the wrong problem. We open up about the false choice between being “pro meds” or “pro plants,” and show how a smarter path blends life-saving treatments with upstream lifestyle changes that actually move the needle. From heart disease to type 2 diabetes and severe mental illness, we share where medication is non-negotiable, and where daily habits do the heavy lifting that pills can’t. We ...

Think gluten is the universal bad guy? Let’s slow down, look at the evidence, and figure out what’s really driving symptoms, what protects long-term health, and how to make smart choices without fear. We break down what gluten is, where it shows up, and why oats are a special case. From celiac disease to non-celiac gluten sensitivity, we explain who truly needs to avoid gluten, what testing matters before you eliminate it, and how symptoms often overlap with IBS and FODMAP issues that h...

Bloating after “healthy” meals, random cramps, or bathroom roulette can make food feel like the enemy. We break down FODMAPs in plain language and show how a short-term, guided approach can calm IBS symptoms without cutting the very foods that protect long-term health. Instead of fear, we offer a framework: treat the burden, not the food. We start by explaining what FODMAPs are, fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols, and why they can trigger gas and draw water into t...

Collagen promises smoother skin, happier joints, and faster recovery, but what holds up when we strip away the hype and read the best studies? We unpack the newest research since 2023 and draw a clear line between modest, measurable effects and results that melt under tighter controls. If you’ve wondered whether those powders and gummies are worth the price, this conversation gives you honest context without shaming your choices. We start by laying out how to read supplement science: f...

Your body doesn’t treat breakfast and dinner the same way, and once you understand why, meal timing becomes a powerful lever for better health. We dig into chrononutrition, the science of how circadian rhythms shape appetite, insulin sensitivity, and energy metabolism, and we translate it into simple steps that fit real life. We start by mapping the daily hormone dance: morning light sparks a cortisol rise that mobilizes energy, adenosine builds sleep pressure through the day, and melatonin ...

What if the grind that built your career is quietly breaking your health? We share a candid story of chasing productivity through 70–80 hour weeks, new fatherhood, on-call nights, and late teaching prep that spiraled into stress, palpitations, and creeping burnout, then the pivot that turned sleep into a non-negotiable performance tool. Together we unpack why sleep is an active biological process, not downtime. You’ll hear how deep sleep drives tissue repair and metabolic recovery, how...
