Jenna Matecki interviews Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a legendary down-to-earth doctor who has reversed and cured heart disease for thousands of patients, and advocated for a plant-based diet since 1984.

You may recognize him from the documentary Forks Over Knives, praise from President Clinton, books or videos from his wife Ann, daughter Jane, or son Rip, the Cleveland Clinic, or piles and piles of well-cited nutrition papers, studies, and essays.

Heart disease is the *leading cause of death for Americans* and, as someone who was born in the US heartland, I could not recommend hearing what Dr. Esselstyn has to say more.
