Ever wondered if there's a natural way to lower your high blood pressure, guard against Alzheimer's, lose weight, forestall aging, sharpen your mind, boost your mood—or countless other questions? Back in 2017, we launched a podcast with a simple idea: Feature the audio from a selection of our videos every week. We celebrated our 500th episode of the NutritionFacts Podcast in July 2026!
Give the podcast a listen, and find out why it's had more than tens of million listens from all over the world and received lovely accolades, including a best podcast award year after year.
You have questions and I answer them with information on which foods contain potassium, whether plant-based iron is the best kind, and what to do about heartburn.

Trying to stay healthy can seem like a full-time job sometimes. Especially during a pandemic. But, I’m here to make that goal a little easier. Welcome to the NutritionFacts.org podcast, I’m your host Dr. Michael Greger.
Today, I make my step quota (walking the walk on my treadmill of course) and improve your health simultaneously. I’ll answer a whole host of questions–including what food contains potassium, is plant-based iron the only kind that is absorbed by the human body, and what to do about heartburn and a plant-based diet. Enjoy!
We would love it if you could share with us your stories about reinventing your health through evidence-based nutrition. Go to NutritionFacts.org/testimonials. We may share it on our social media to help inspire others.

For a vital, timely text on the pathogens that cause pandemics –you can order the E-book, audio book, or the hard copy of my latest book “How to Survive a Pandemic.”
For recipes, check out my even newer “How Not to Diet Cookbook.” It’s beautifully designed, with more than 100 recipes for delicious and nutritious, meals. All proceeds I receive from the sales of my books go to charity.

Everything on the website is free. There’s no ads, no corporate sponsorship. It’s strictly non-commercial. I’m not selling anything. I just put it up as a public service, as a labor of love -as a tribute to my grandmother –whose own life was saved with evidence based nutrition.
