Matt Lederman, MD & Alona Pulde, MD - From Wellness to Wonderful and Deep Personal Communication

For full episode show notes and resources, visit www.plantstrongpodcast.com/blog/wellness-to-wonderful Drs. Matthew Lederman and Alona Pulde pioneered the medical program that was used in the film, Forks Over Knives, and after the popularity of that groundbreaking film, they went on to co-author multiple books including The Forks Over Knives Plan, The Forks Over Knives Cookbook, Forks Over Knives Family and the Whole Foods Diet with former Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey.  Today, we discuss their latest book Wellness to Wonderful: 9 Pillars for Living Healthier, Longer, and With Greater Joy. Through a comprehensive and beautiful combination of Eastern, Western, and lifestyle medicine practices, Matt and Alona work with their patients to help them wake up every day thinking, “My life is wonderful.” Their book’s nine fundamental pillars of health include: self, nutrition, activity, play, sleep, family & friends, work, spirituality, and the natural world, but we focus much of our conversation around non-violent communication and family connection because we at PLANTSTRONG truly believe that communication and connection is KEY to a wonderful life.
