PlantX Launches “Medically Speaking”, a New YouTube Series Featuring Medical Professionals (CNW Group/PlantX Life Inc.)

"Medically Speaking" is designed as an informative series that centers around conversations with the PlantX Medical Advisory Board on plant-based topics. Beyond providing evidence-based information to clarify potential questions and knowledge gaps in the plant-based space, the series also aims to offer creative solutions to overcoming plant-based challenges as approved and discussed by trusted healthcare professionals.

The series is produced and hosted by Mr. Adam Kruger, the host of the PlantX YouTube channel. Each episode of "Medically Speaking" will feature interactive discussions on high-impact and novel topics exploring how plant-based lifestyles can improve health and wellbeing. The show will present this information through a scientific lens by featuring PlantX Medical Advisory Board members as guests. Season 1 of "Medically Speaking" will feature experienced healthcare professionals with a passion for promoting plant-based living and wellness, including registered dietitian Amy Gensel, clinical hepatologist Dr. Edward Tam, family physician Dr. Paul Gross and clinical professor and family physician Dr. Eva Weinlander.

"We have seen a tremendous global shift to plant-based diets in recent years and this trend continues to rise," said PlantX Founder, Sean Dollinger. "As the interest in plant-based diets increases, so does the need and demand for engaging plant-based educational opportunities. "Medically Speaking" was created as a dynamic and evidence-based educational tool that can explain plant-based myths and misinformation and empower people to overcome barriers to change."

The series teaser can be found here. The first episode of "Medically Speaking" will air on January 20, 2022, at 12pm EST, and can be accessed here.

He is known by his colleagues for creating the "Dr. Burdon Diet" which has helped patients lose from 50-100lbs and nurses lose 20-30lbs just by following a plant-based diet. As a cardiothoracic surgeon, if you're seeing Dr. Burdon, it means that you're having heart surgery, and he wanted to help people before reaching that state. Having seen the obesity epidemic in North America get out of hand, and noticing how much it's attributed to vascular disease, he decided to petition the hospital to provide more plant-based options and make more common-sense meal decisions. He sees plant-based living as an "anti inflammatory" way of life that will help people reduce the occurrence of morbidity and disease.
