Show Notes

Scott makes some high-level observations about health, longevity and integrity following his interview with Dr. Thomas Colin Campbell.

Live until you die.

If you’re in your 40s or 50s, it’s never too early to think about the quality of your life moving forward.
Surviving isn’t the same thing as thriving. Add life to years, not years to life.
Dr. Campbell is finishing another book at age 84. Many people at that age are retired and suffering health problems.
Scott’s dad lived until he was 87 but had a litany of health issues that began around his 50s. He ate a typical American diet, where the plate was several shades of beige and few bright colors (i.e., fruits and vegetables.)
Dr. Campbell said during the interview that he takes no meds or supplements. He demonstrates the benefits of a whole food plant-based lifestyle.
If carbs are so bad for us, why is Dr. Campbell so healthy?
Ellsworth Wareham, cardiothoracic surgeon, worked into his 90s and lived until he was 104. He attributed his longevity to a plant-based diet.
Long-term health benefits should accompany weight loss [meaning weight loss should be accomplished in a healthy way.]
Dr. Campbell followed where the research led him, an example of integrity.

“Get busy living, or get busy dying.”

– Andy Dufresne, The Shawshank Redemption
