Prevention may not be sexy, but the folks practicing it often are! That category most certainly includes PETA-designated “Sexiest Vegan Over 50” Dr. Joel Kahn, one of the few cardiologists helping people head off heart issues before they blindside them years down the road. Dr. Kahn talks about his leap into plant-based eating during his first year of college, his incorporation of nutrition and lifestyle education into his Detroit medical practice, and the wild ride that began in 2020 when he started hearing fellow cardiologist Peter McCullough, whom he'd worked with for years and even helped train, maligned for raising questions about the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Through it all, Dr. Kahn's clinic never closed, never imposed face covering or vaccination requirements on patients, and never lost sight of its mission to prevent ALL future heart attacks by educating the public to eat clean, sweat clean, and apply cutting-edge science to their lifestyle.
