Highlight quotes:
"What we're realizing is our immune system is sometimes called the 'Guardian of the Galaxy.' The reason that it's called that is because it looks out for things that might cause injury or illness to our body and it patrols and if it finds something that's a little bit worrisome. It, so to speak, calls for backup. So it's very intricate, it involves many different types of cells. But the beauty of the immune system is it's always working to try to protect our body. The majority of it is actually in our GIS your GI tract. So we should definitely start there talking about how can we improve our immune system by starting with the foods that we eat."
"What I usually focus on in my practice is, I don't believe in diets and I don't believe in restriction. I believe that everything in moderation. But I usually focus on trying to get my patients to increase their healthy eating,
and there's a reason behind that.I always like to explain the scientific evidence behind why that is. We usually recommend a 70/30, which is 70% plant-based, so fruits and vegetables and then 30% other which includes proteins. Again, I don't like to restrict. The 70/30 ratio is so important is because 70% of that food that we're eating fruits and vegetables. It contains antioxidants and, you know, why are antioxidants so important."
