THIS! PLEASE READ

This week, I received a worrisome message from a fellow follower.

She was extremely worried and confused after seeing a very convincing video online.

So I watched the video she sent me.

A self proclaimed expert, who appeared knowledgeable and poised, was making confident claims that for the health of our children and ourselves, we should stay as far away as possible from vegetables.

In fact, according to her, vegetables were trying to kill us via the defence toxins they contained.

She clearly never heard of “hormesis”.

And maybe you’ve never heard of this term either.

And that’s OK.

That’s why we are meant to trust experts. It’s normal they know more than us in the field they’ve been studying.

I don’t tell pilots how to fly their planes.

But since everyone eats, we all have an opinion about what consists of a healthy diet.

And it is ok to listen to your own body.

Although there is endless confusion online about what constitutes a healthy diet, this confusion exists almost entirely on social media.

Inside of the scientific community, the picture is remarkably consistent.

That community is built from hundreds of research and medical organizations around the world, representing thousands of experts who dedicate their careers to nutrition science.

Yet many people still choose to believe their favorite online influencer, even when those claims contradict decades of robust evidence.

In 2021 and 2022, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine conducted a meta-epidemiological scientific review to evaluate different global dietary guidelines and compare them to the ACLM dietary position statement.

This was an immensely daunting task.

For almost two years, researchers examined overall dietary patterns, major food groups, and key nutrients.

They reviewed seventy-eight clinical guidelines published between 2010 and 2021.

Of these, eighty-three percent came from major medical societies, meaning they were developed by hundreds, and sometimes thousands of scientists working together toward consensus.

Twelve percent came from governmental organizations and departments.

The remaining five percent came from large stakeholder associations.

What the scientists wanted to know was simple: what do all these guidelines agree on?

The conclusions were not surprising. No front page news here.

And unfortunately these study findings aren’t the ones that go viral.

All of these major bodies encouraged higher consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and pulses, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish because of their protective effects on health.

Likewise, these clinical guidelines consistently recommended reducing ultra-processed foods, red and processed meats, refined grains, and fatty cuts of meat including organ meats.

These are not supposed to be controversial statements.

They reflect the collective weight of modern nutrition science.

Yet influencers continue to gain millions of followers by promoting the opposite.

I do understand why.

Saying that sulforaphane in broccoli helps protect against cancer is not front-page news anymore.

Balanced nutrition rarely produces the shock needed to trigger algorithms.

Instead, sensational claims rise to the top, regardless of accuracy.

Scientific research follows a hierarchy of evidence. The highest quality peer-reviewed studies give us consistent answers.

No matter where you look, you see the same relationship.

As the proportion of calories you consume from nutrient-dense whole plant foods increases, your health parameters improve and your risk of chronic disease decreases.

This is reality. This is science. And these are real lives we are trying to protect.

If someone online is telling you that fruits and vegetables are toxic, that plant foods are trying to harm you, or that lectins and phytonutrients are poisonous, then unfortunately you have been misled.

I’m sure they sold a lot of books though.

And they likely have a link to the supplement page that will fix all of your issues.

There is no conspiracy.

The consensus across decades of clinical trials, cohort studies, mechanistic research, and global dietary guidelines is clear.

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and herbs and spices consistently improve every major marker of health. They lower inflammation, reduce chronic disease risk, support a healthy microbiome, and contribute to a longer and healthier life.

Period.

What you choose to do with this information is up to you.

My hope is that people approach online content wearing their critical thinking cap.

There are no miracle cures, but there are sustainable habits that dramatically lower your risk of chronic disease: a healthy diet, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, strong social connections, and avoiding harmful substances.

None of this is controversial.

It is the same science that built the planes we fly, the cars we drive, the phones we use, and every modern technology that enriches our daily lives.

Please careful out there.

Please help me share this information so it reaches more people than the ultra-exaggerated claims that flood our social media feeds.

It takes infinitely more energy to debunk and deconstruct misinformation than it takes to create it.

Our kids are being brainwashed.

I have teenage patients with eating disorders directly caused by fear mongering online about nutrition.

This is not right, this isn’t fair. And those spewing this nonsense will never be held accountable.

I would lose my medical license if I’d make claims like that to patients.

This nonsense has to stop. But it won’t.

A 22-year-old just raised $11.5 million for hungry people and looked a room full of billionaires in the eye. What she said next made everyone uncomfortable—in the best way.

Billie Eilish stood on stage at the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards, honored for her contributions to music and culture. She could have given a typical acceptance speech—thanked her team, said something inspirational, waved politely, and walked off. Instead, she did something different.

First, she announced that her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour had raised $11.5 million for The Changemaker Program, fighting hunger and climate collapse worldwide. Then she looked directly at some of the wealthiest people on the planet and asked:

"If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
She paused. Let it sink in.
"No hate, but give your money away."

The room went quiet. Designer suits shifted uncomfortably. Among the audience were Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and others who could write a check for millions without noticing it missing. Billie, through her own effort, had already done what they had the power to do—and then she asked them to reflect.

It wasn’t anger. It wasn’t a rant. It was a simple, direct challenge wrapped in genuine curiosity: why hoard wealth when people are starving and the planet is burning?

Her speech redefined innovation—not what you create for yourself, but what you give to others. The $11.5 million goes directly to solving real, immediate human needs. She didn’t just donate; she used her platform to ask a moral question billionaires couldn’t ignore.

Will it change the world overnight? Maybe not. But moments like this matter. They shift the conversation, exposing the gap between what is and what could be, between hoarding wealth and sharing it. Billie reminded everyone: sometimes the bravest, most innovative act isn’t creating something new—it’s asking why we’re holding onto what we already have.

Dairy can be an easy option to start with...let us know if you have any questions. Dr. Jules covers it very well.

A Doctor’s Guide to Plant-Based Milks

Are they healthier than cow’s milk?

What about protein, calcium, or those other “weird” ingredients?

Let’s break it all down.

First things first:

After age 12 months, there’s no nutritional requirement for milk (cow’s or plant-based) as long as you’re getting a balanced diet.

This excludes milk from breastfeeding, since we know the benefits extend well past 12 months of age.

Humans are the only species that drink the milk of other mammals.

Cows don’t produce milk unless they’re pregnant and have given birth, like humans. But if you’re looking for something to pour on cereal, blend into smoothies, or sip with coffee, plant milks can be a fantastic choice.

Let’s explore the key options and what makes them different.

The top players in the plant milk world are:

1. Soy Milk
• Nutritionally closest to dairy
• High in protein (around 7 g per cup, same as cow’s milk)
• Rich in omega-3s, fiber, and phytoestrogens
• Fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and B12
• Shown to reduce LDL, inflammation (CRP), blood pressure, and the risk of breast, prostate, and stroke-related disease
• Least processed (soak, cook, strain)

Bottom line: if you’re looking for a one-to-one dairy substitute, soy milk is the gold standard.

2. Pea Milk
• Same protein as dairy (thanks to yellow split peas)
• Creamy texture, great for frothing (hello, lattes)
• Fortified with D, B12, and calcium
• Allergy-friendly alternative to soy or nuts

3. Almond, Oat, Cashew, Coconut, Rice, H**p, etc.
These vary widely but generally:
• Low in protein (0–2 g per cup)
• Fortified with key nutrients (D, B12, calcium)
• Free of cholesterol, casein, and lactose
• Lower in calories
• Often more desirable in taste or texture for specific uses (for example, oat milk in coffee, coconut in curries)
Bonus: most have some fiber, something cow’s milk has none of.

The health benefits of plant milks are plenty:
• No cholesterol means better for heart health
• Less saturated fat equals lower inflammation and stroke risk
• Fortified with nutrients vegans often need (D, B12, calcium)
• Free of lactose, great for intolerances
• Associated with lower all-cause mortality and chronic disease risk
• Environmentally friendly and more ethical in production

Even Canada’s 2019 Food Guide removed dairy as a required food group.

Plant milks are absolutely appropriate when chosen wisely.

What About Emulsifiers and Additives?

Many plant milks contain small amounts of emulsifiers or stabilizers like lecithin, gellan gum, or carrageenan.

These help with consistency and shelf life.

Here’s the good news:
• At the quantities used in fortified plant milks, there’s no strong evidence these pose health risks in moderation
• If you’re concerned, look for short ingredient lists or make your own at home (blender, water, nuts or seeds, and a pinch of salt).

Just remember that homemade versions won’t be fortified with added vitamins and minerals.

Some common concerns to keep in mind:
• Low protein (in most plant milks except soy and pea)
• Not all are fortified equally
• B12 isn’t found in whole plant foods, fortified foods or supplements are essential
• Allergen risk with soy or nuts for some people
• Some taste or texture issues, especially in coffee or cooking

But remember, even cow’s milk has downsides: casein, cholesterol raising saturated fat, lactose, and no fiber.

It also has a large environmental carbon footprint and questionable production practices.

Here are my quick tips:
• Best all-around option: fortified soy or pea milk
• Kid-friendly: choose unsweetened, fortified varieties
• Worried about ingredients: read the label and go for those with calcium, D, and B12, and minimal added sugar
• On a plant-based diet: use fortified milks as a convenient way to cover key nutrients
• Supplement when needed, especially for B12

In short:
Plant-based milks can absolutely be a healthy, practical, and ethical swap for dairy.

Just like everything in nutrition, it’s not about being perfect, it’s about making intentional, informed choices that fit your life.

Personally, I enjoy at least 1 cup of soy milk every single day.

Milk the benefits, without the moo.

Misinformation kills.

I have a patient with long-standing, uncontrolled blood pressure.

He’s already suffered a stroke, yet believes the two are unrelated. 🧠💔

Another patient follows a strict carnivore diet. He had his first heart attack at 51.

He tells me it was just bad luck.
His LDL-C is 5.35, Apo-B is 1.4.
He refuses statins. I will always support him no matter his decisions.

He gets his health advice from carnivore influencers.

When he has his second heart attack, he may finally believe me. 💔

I have a patient who had the upper lobe of his right lung removed and still smokes. 🚬

His father made it to 88 while smoking a pack a day.

He’s convinced the anti-smoking movement is just a conspiracy.

Another patient has suffered from major depression for years.

She often stops her prescribed treatment, only to end up in the ER with suicidal thoughts.

She doesn’t believe in taking “chemicals,” yet her cupboards are packed with unregulated “natural” supplements. 💊🌿

Be careful out there.

The internet will tell you whatever you want to hear.

Confirmation bias is real, and it’s easier than ever to fall into echo chambers of misinformation.

And if your influencer is giving medical advice while walking shirtless through a grocery store… please take a moment to think critically.

Misinformation is spreading like wildfire, and it’s more important than ever for qualified voices to speak up.

Not for likes. Not for fame. But for the people who deserve the truth.

Real health doesn’t come in a 30-day bottle of “natural” vitamins or in a “reset” program.

It comes from habits, repeated consistently, over years. ⏳🧘‍♂️🥗

Eat whole, nourishing foods.
Move your body.
Get enough sleep.
Manage your stress in healthy ways.
Surround yourself with people who reflect the kind of person you want to become. 🧠💚👥

Is it easy? No.

But the internet would have you believe these transformations should happen overnight.

This may leave people feeling powerless.

In reality, it takes time.

It takes patience, self-compassion, and a whole lot of grit. 💪🕊️

It takes decades to build true health and lasting relationships.

Lead with intention.

Live with integrity.

And each day, take one small step toward the person you were always meant to be. 🚶‍♂️🌱🌟

I’ve seen countless patients of mine turn their life around when everyone had counted them out.

You can do it.

Hi, I’m your doctor… and I’m going to hurt your feelings.

Let’s talk about a few inconvenient truths in health and skincare.

If you go for gel manicures under UV lamps, you’re exposing your hands to the same type of UV radiation that causes skin cancer.

Even LED lamps emit UVA.

While LED lamps cure the product faster in 30 to 60 seconds instead of 2 to 3 minutes, the UVA exposure is still there.

It’s just delivered in a shorter but more intense burst.

Those cute nails might be aging your skin faster than the sun ever could.

And I’ve seen skin cancers because of them.

If you’re getting your nails done regularly and using these lamps, either wear gloves, or broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen on your hands.

If you pour rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on your wounds, you’re not helping them heal faster.

You’re actually killing healthy new cells.

The best wound care?

Wash gently with soap and water, then apply a thin layer of Vaseline.

Simple, cheap, and backed by science.

If you can’t stop using your ChapStick, it might be because some of them contain ingredients that cause micro-irritations on your lips, just enough to make you reach for more.

The solution?

Again, Vaseline.

And no, the parabens aren’t going to harm you.

In fact, the cumulative dose (also called aggregate dose exposure), from shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face cream combined will still provide less than 12000 times the amount that would be considered harmful.

And this even includes a safety margin factor of 100.

If you buy “non-GMO” strawberries thinking they’re safer, I have bad news.

There are no genetically modified strawberries.

The giant ones you see were selectively bred from naturally larger varieties and naturally occurring genetic mutations, not genetically engineered.

“Non-GMO” on strawberries is a marketing ploy, not a scientific statement.

Same thing for that bag of chips you bought because it said “0% cholesterol.”

Cholesterol only exists in animal products.

Potato chips never had cholesterol in the first place.

That label is just another way to make you feel better about buying junk food.

And since we’re on the topic of marketing, “eco-friendly,” “green,” or “sustainable” labels don’t always mean what you think.

Some companies use recyclable-looking packaging while still filling their products with harsh, non-biodegradable chemicals.

It’s called greenwashing, and it’s designed to make you feel virtuous, not actually protect the planet.

And let’s not forget pinkwashing.

Every October, you’ll see pink ribbons on everything from chips to body wash, claiming to support breast cancer awareness.

Yet many of those same products contain ingredients linked to cancer or promote habits that increase cancer risk.

Don’t let marketing hijack your empathy.

I could go on, but you get the point.

Marketing preys on confusion.

If something sounds too good to be true in health or skincare, it probably is.

And if it burns, stings, glows, or costs more than your groceries, it probably doesn’t belong on your skin.

The healthiest foods don’t need labels or marketing.

If you can, try to increase the amount of foods you consume that don’t even come with an ingredients list.

"We carry the burden of other people’s unhealthy choices with no light at the end of the tunnel. Nearly 80 percent of what we see in primary care is directly tied to lifestyle" - Dr. Jules Cormier

If you are on our page, you likely already understand the message.

As of right now, and I admit my perspective may shift in the future, if my children told me they wanted to become doctors, I would likely advise against it.

I love my job. I love the challenge, the people, the collaboration with other professionals. I enjoy being part of a team united by a single purpose: helping patients thrive.

But working in a broken system wears you down.

I wait with my patients for a year just to get a non-urgent x-ray, while they suffer in pain. I wait months for a test, only to be told what I already suspected, that they have a suspicious renal mass.

If a patient presents with concerning symptoms that should warrant an echocardiogram, but does not check every prerequisite box, they wait. My clinical judgment and years of experience count for very little in expediting that test.

Meanwhile, wellness influencers, grifters, and holistic practitioners build careers by eroding trust in science and modern medicine, all while expanding their brands and businesses.

And here is the frustrating part. Decades of systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and prospective cohort studies, involving millions of patients, have shown the same results: saturated fat raises blood cholesterol, high blood cholesterol increases cardiovascular risk, fiber protects in a dose-dependent way and lowers the risk of nearly all chronic diseases. These conclusions are endorsed by hundreds of international medical associations, representing tens of thousands of board-certified experts and researchers. Yet we still see people online insisting that cholesterol does not matter, that saturated fat is harmless, and that fiber is dangerous.

But when the healthcare system fails people, who can blame patients for turning to those voices?

These influencers face no accountability for their claims. Physicians, on the other hand, carry full medical and legal responsibility for outcomes, while working in a system where patients often wait months for essential investigations, while their medical conditions deteriorate.

Healthcare today is harder, more stressful, and more demanding than ever.

And no, a pizza party will not fix that.

Just yesterday, one of my patients lashed out because he had waited months just to see me. I felt his frustration, because I share it too.

But there I was, working into the evening, venting to my wife about the stress while finishing charts and writing forms late at night and early in the morning.

Some days, I wonder why anyone would choose this life.

We carry the burden of other people’s unhealthy choices with no light at the end of the tunnel. Nearly 80 percent of what we see in primary care is directly tied to lifestyle.

And medicine is not just about office visits. It is about advocating for food security, access to affordable fruits and vegetables, nutrition education in schools, and community programs like gardens that give people real tools for healthier lives. All while influencers are preaching that vegetables are going to kill you.

Yet most calories consumed today still come from ultra-processed foods, red meat, and processed meat, while whole, healthy foods remain unsubsidized and more expensive than ever.

I spent the first decade of my career with my head down, working one patient at a time, trying to fight the chronic disease epidemic. But every three months, the same patients return, trapped in the same cycles.

That patient who lashed out, I felt for him. I wish I could have told him the truth: healthcare providers are already working far beyond human limits, trying to preserve a shred of work-life balance.

Tuesday night, my kids asked for a movie night. I said no because of unfinished paperwork. Every time I skip a soccer game outside, every time I am distracted during Monopoly, I ask myself why I am giving so much to a system, and to people, who often do not see or appreciate these sacrifices.

But then, one of you writes to tell me how my words inspired you to make small changes. And over time, those changes add up. Or one of my patients comes off diabetic medication because of improved dietary habits.

Those moments restore my faith that lifestyle medicine may be our best path out of this healthcare crisis.

Because here is the truth. Doctors are sometimes hesitant to order important tests or make referrals, not because they are not useful, but because they are not accessible.

We need to do better, as doctors, as patients, as policy makers and as members of this community that will all need that same failing healthcare system at some point.

Until then, the best we can do is everything in our power to not need that system.

And the best we have is lifestyle medicine.

Thank you for being here and for believing in this community.

If you’re here still reading this, then you’re part of the solution.

GUT HEALTH 101: IBS, GLUTEN, LEAKY GUT & FODMAPs

Ever feel like your stomach has a mind of its own?

Bloating, cramping, unpredictable bathroom runs, or maybe avoiding certain foods because they make you feel worse, not better?

That could be IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).

It affects nearly 15% of North Americans, yet almost half never get a proper diagnosis.

And no, it is not “all in your head.”

IBS is a very real disorder shaped by the complex dance between your gut, your brain, and the trillions of microbes that call your intestines home.

What is IBS?

IBS is not one single problem, it is a cluster of symptoms that can look different from person to person:

• Abdominal pain and bloating
• Constipation, diarrhea, or both
• Food sensitivities and trigger foods

The big players in gut disruption include:

• Dysbiosis: imbalance between good and harmful bacteria
• Increased gut permeability (often nicknamed “leaky gut”)
• Visceral hypersensitivity: the nerves in your gut overreact to pain
• Brain-gut axis: stress and emotions directly influencing digestion

What makes IBS worse?

• Stress (hello, gut-brain link!)
• A highly processed or low-quality diet
• Antibiotic overuse
• Inactivity
• Too much fiber all at once (ironically, fiber is also part of the cure, but it needs to be reintroduced slowly)

The Role of FODMAPs

FODMAPs are certain carbs that do not break down well on their own. Instead, they ferment in your gut with the help of bacteria. If your gut bugs are out of balance, this can trigger bloating, gas, and cramps.

That is why the low-FODMAP diet can bring relief. But here is the catch: it is a temporary tool, not a forever solution.

The real healing comes from gradually reintroducing foods, finding your personal tolerance level, and ultimately building a more resilient microbiome.

Pro tip: do this under the guidance of a registered dietitian, not alone.

What about gluten?

Unless you have celiac disease or a diagnosed gluten sensitivity, you do not need to avoid gluten.

Many people who “feel better” on a gluten-free diet are actually cutting out high-FODMAP foods at the same time, which is what really helps.

Healing the Gut: Step by Step

1️⃣ Work with your doctor to rule out other serious causes.
2️⃣ Clean up your diet with professional guidance.
3️⃣ Try a short-term low-FODMAP approach if needed, only under dietitian supervision.
4️⃣ Reintroduce foods slowly to find your personal threshold.
5️⃣ Support the gut-brain axis with stress management: therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and regular movement.

And remember: rebuilding your microbiome takes 6–8 weeks of consistent, progressive fiber intake.

Probiotics can help, but only if you are also feeding them with plants. Real food is always more powerful than pills.

The Bottom Line

IBS is frustrating and sometimes discouraging, but it is also manageable.

With patience, the right guidance, and a focus on whole foods and stress management, your gut can heal and thrive.

🌱 Listen to your gut. Nourish it. Support it.

And do not hesitate to reach out to a registered dietitian, they are the unsung heroes of digestive health.

Your microbiome will thank you.

🚨 “I’ve Done My Research”

But Have You REALLY? 🤔🔬

In today’s world, misinformation spreads like wildfire, faster than the truth according to MIT researchers.

In fact, falsehoods travel SIX times faster than facts! 🔥💨

That’s why it’s so important to sharpen our BS detectors before hitting that share button.

As someone passionate about nutrition science, I see it all the time. I can spend 14 hours researching, writing, and citing peer-reviewed, high-quality studies, only for someone to dismiss it in 5 seconds with a Google search and a gut feeling. 💁‍♂️🔍

🔹 “But I’ve done my research!”

Here’s the thing: Google research and scientific research are NOT the same.

Anyone can find a study that supports their opinion, even smoking has “positive” studies funded by the to***co industry. 🏭💨

That’s why understanding study types, bias, and quality of evidence is crucial.

👨‍⚕️ Doctors aren’t even trained in nutrition. Big corporations control the message, shaping what we eat and believe.

Just a few generations ago, ultra-processed foods didn’t even exist, now they make up 50% of kids’ diets! 🍔🥤

💡 So here’s the “Scientific Proof Pyramid” (from weakest to strongest):

* I want you to picture this hierarchy of evidence in the same way as you would see evidence in a court of law. Weak forms of evidence could include rumours and eye-witnesses. Stronger levels of proof could include low resolution, black-and-white cameras. And the strongest levels of evidence would include high definition and full resolution colour cameras.

A meta-analysis would represent different levels of proof, all converging towards the same conclusion and represents the best level of proof.

So if a high definition camera shows that a certain person committed a crime in full resolution, then lower levels of proof, like eye witnesses saying they saw someone else, almost become obsolete.

Here they are:

🔻 Anecdotes & Expert Opinions – “It worked for me!” 🙃
🔻 Animal & Cell Studies – Helpful, but not human proof 🐁
🔻 Case Reports & Case-Control Studies – Interesting, but limited 🧐
🔻 Cohort Studies – Large groups, strong insights 📊
🔹 Randomized Controlled Trials – Gold standard for testing 🎯
🔹 Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses – The real truth seekers! 🔎📚

Science evolves, and that’s a GOOD thing!

If newer studies disprove old ones, we shouldn’t be mad, we should be grateful. 🙌

So before sharing that “groundbreaking new study”, ask:
✅ Who funded it?
✅ Is it peer-reviewed?
✅ Is it a strong type of study? How many people were enrolled? What was the study length and was it long enough to show the outcomes claimed in the conclusion?

I regularly get people sending me things to promote that are backed by wild claims.

Just recently, I was sent an email about a magic wand that you use to stir your water that supposedly creates hydrogen that’s better for hydration.

I literally burst out laughing when I saw the study links that they sent me.

I recently got sent another message to promote weight loss Gummies.

Again, no placebo control, no control group, no randomization of participants. Basically a very poorly controlled study.

Unfortunately, vulnerable and desperate people are the ones targeted by these hyperbolic claims.

🛑 Don’t let misinformation win.

Question everything, including yourself. Real research isn’t about confirming what you already believe, it’s about seeking the truth. 💙🌱
