My new digital DVD, Volume 54, is out today and covers statins, SIBO, moringa, appetite, and more. It is available as a streaming video so you can start watching it immediately. Each video in this new collection will be released online over the next few months, available for free, but if you don’t want to wait, you can watch all of them by streaming right now

And, remember, if you watch the videos on NutritionFacts.org or YouTube, you can access captions in several different languages. To find yours, click on the settings wheel in the lower-right of the video and then “Subtitles/CC.” Happy viewing!

Key Takeaways: Mental Health

Mental health appears to play a part in physical health, so it’s crucial to eat foods that support both your mind and your body. Studies on the emotional health and mood states of those eating plant-based diets suggest that eating less meat may not only be good for us physically, but emotionally, too.

Read more on our topic page and check out our videos on mental health, including Which Foods Increase Happiness? and Exercise vs. Drugs for Depression.

 

Captions and Translation Accessibility Survey

 

Did you know that all of our videos are captioned in English and the majority are also translated into multiple languages, thanks to our hard-working team of volunteers?

We are conducting a survey to find out how much you know about and access these captions and translations.

The survey takes just a few minutes, and your response will help us continue to improve our translations and captions to reach as many people around the world with this life-saving information. As a token of our gratitude, respondents will receive a discount code for DrGreger.org for completing the survey. Thank you in advance!

P.S: If you have a strong background in professional translation and would like to help make this life-saving information more accessible in your language, please apply now!

 

Volunteer Spotlight: Mya Montgomery

 

Each month I transcribe the questions from Dr. Greger’s live Q&A’s for Facebook and YouTube so when people look at the video description on YouTube, they can see exactly what was covered that month. Previous to volunteering, I would tune in and learn so much! I decided I wanted to volunteer to help, and transcribing was a great way to learn and contribute to the community all at once.

My favorite plant-based food is chickpeas. There are so many ways to eat them from just roasting them to making hummus. I eat them every weeknight in all kinds of different recipes!

Every month, I do a Q&A live from my treadmill, and today, May 27 is the day.

In health,
