"Nutritarian" is a new term coined by Joel Fuhrman M.D.. Unlike a vegetarian or vegan identity that is based mainly around what you no longer eat, are carnivore, or omnivore which  basically mean you'll eat meat or "whatever', or other food population identities who are defined by the types of foods they eat, a nutritarian is ...

ONE TOO MANY BANANAS How many bananas is too many bananas? I don’t know but your body knows. You can overdo and overeat the GOOD stuff too.  My partner, John Allen, and I talk about this concept all the time. Contrary to that popular belief that “eating healthy doesn’t taste good and is boring” reason/excuse that many ...

Nutrient Density definitions

Nutrient Density is a critical concept in devising and recommending dietary and nutritional advice to patients and to the public. Not merely vitamins and minerals, but adequate consumption of phytochemicals is essential for proper functioning of the immune system and to enable our body’s detoxification and cellular repair mechanisms that protect us from chronic diseases ...

There are reasons why Nutrient Rich.com is aligned with Dr. Fuhrman's nutritional guidelines which we have coined "The Gold Standard". First, I discovered Dr Fuhrman 20 years ago before the world knew who he was, in the most unlikely of places, at a most unlikely time. As a 245 pound body builder who was eating 30 eggs ...

This was one of the most amazing quotes from Dr Fuhrman of the whole week at the DrFuhrman Health Getaway. I don't mean to say that there weren't more intelligent sounding teachings throughout the week - too many to mention - but this seeming ridiculous statement was one of the most profound.

Joel Fuhrman and John Allen after the jog

Up at 7:00 am this morning at the DrFuhrman Health Getaway, walking and jogging and walking, again. It amazing what happens when we add? "play" into how we exercise and the connection with other people, how much more we will do and my much more fun we have doing it. Though out the event we have been ...

Eating With Friends at DrFuhrman's Health Getaway

First, make sure you are eating nutrient rich foods Second, make sure you are eating because you are hungry, not for any other primary reason. Third, stop when you are about 75% full.
