Live Webinars with Dr. Greger

One of the most common questions I’m asked is for a natural treatment for Hashimoto’s disease, also known as autoimmune thyroiditis, the leading cause of hypothyroidism. And I’m excited to say I found one! I’ll be covering the best diet for both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, as well as the healthiest natural source of iodine I recommend. All of these videos will be eventually up on NutritionFacts.org over the next year but you can see them all and get your questions answered by joining me at 3 pm ET on March 5th for this one-hour live webinar event.

With death rates as much as 6 times higher in Black America than white America,  COVID-19 pointed a glaring spotlight at racial health disparities in the United States. In my upcoming hour-long live webinar I’ll address the question of why Black Americans live sicker and die younger than their white counterparts way before the pandemic started. Even with the same education and socioeconomic resources, Black Americans suffer disproportionately from chronic disease.

What role may dietary patterns be playing and what happens when you feed people soul food that’s good for the soul and put plant-based diets to the test?

Outside of an emergency setting, there appear to be zero benefits to angioplasty and stents. Stents don’t prevent heart attacks, they don’t extend your life, and based on sham “placebo” surgery trials where they cut into you but don’t actually place a stent, they don’t even help with symptoms! But wait, that would mean hundreds of thousands of people are exposed to the risks of these operations for nothing? How do the doctors justify it? How do they get patients to sign up for it? And wait, why doesn’t it work if in fact, you’re opening up a blocked artery? These are some of the questions I’m going to be addressing in my live 2.5-hour webinar on October 14th at 3pm ET.

In Dr. Greger’s new book How to Survive a Pandemic and our last COVID-19 Webinar, he marveled at the constellation of new consumer choices in the dairy and meat aisle helping to innovate us out of our precarious situation with regards to the pandemic threats posed by animal agriculture. Plant-based meats, milks, and egg products—as well as even more pioneering approaches involving cellular agriculture—could also offer enormous benefits for the climate crisis. But what are the nutritional and personal human health effects of eating products like Beyond Meat and the Impossible Burger, or even actual animal products are grown without the animals?

This 1.5-hour live webinar explained the rationale for Dr. Greger’s new vitamin B12 recommendations. He discussed the symptoms of B12 deficiency and explained how he arrived at what he considers the optimal dose of vitamin B12 supplements in children, adults, the elderly, and during pregnancy. He clarified why cyanocobalamin (not methylcobalamin) is the best type of vitamin B12 supplement and addressed the data suggesting B12 supplements cause acne, bone fractures, and lung cancer. He also covered the healthiest food sources of B12 for those that don’t want to take supplements.

In his 4-hour webinar on COVID-19 last month, Dr. Greger covered how we can best keep ourselves and our families safe from the coronavirus. He offered tips for optimal respiratory and hand hygiene, surface disinfection, proper mask usage, how to make his DIY sanitizer solution, sheltering-in-place, and what to do if you come down with the disease. Dr. Greger also discussed the source of the virus and how we can treat the cause and prevent future animal-to-human disease outbreaks. All of those topics have been now been turned into videos featured in this webinar and on NutritionFacts.org.

What is the best thing we can do to keep ourselves and our families safe from the coronavirus? Dr. Greger offers tips for optimal respiratory and hand hygiene, proper mask usage, how to make his DIY sanitizer solution, and how to prep for sheltering-in-place in case that becomes necessary. Dr. Greger also discussed the source of the virus and how we can treat the cause and prevent future animal-to-human disease outbreaks.

Given that high blood pressure and inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption are among the most important stroke risk factors, you would assume those eating plant-based diets would be at significantly lower risk, just as they are with heart attacks. You might be surprised to learn that there had never been any studies on the incidence of stroke in vegetarians, though…until now. And if you think that is surprising, wait until you hear the results. Yes, they had lower heart disease risk as expected, but those eating meat-free diets appeared to have more stroke risk. If that is indeed the case, what might be the cause, and what can we do about it? Dr. Greger did a deep dive in a 2-hour live webinar on 2pm ET on February 19th, 2020.

The obesity epidemic exploded throughout the industrialized world in the late 1970s. What happened? Any potential driver would have had to be global in nature and coincide with the upswing of the epidemic. So how do the various theories stack up?

This is the third 3-hour webinar Dr. Greger offered on all the latest and greatest research on fasting. The first webinar covered intermittent fasting, time-restricted feeding, and water-only fasting for weight loss. The second webinar covered fasting for high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases, depression, irritable bowel disease, diabetes, and more. In this final webinar, Dr. Greger focused on fasting cancer as both an adjunct to chemotherapy and as a potential treatment in and of itself.
