Description
In this powerful episode of Plant Based Coaches, hosts Richard Hubbard and Dr. Suzanne Foxx sit down with renowned physician, bestselling author, and nutrition pioneer Dr. Joel Fuhrman to explore what it truly means to age well.
Dr. Fuhrman breaks down how the Nutritarian lifestyle—a nutrient-dense, whole-food, plant-based approach—can help people extend their lifespan without sacrificing quality of life. We discuss how food choices influence inflammation, chronic disease, energy levels, and long-term vitality, and why simply “living longer” isn’t enough if healthspan isn’t prioritized.
In a special and inspiring moment, Dr. Fuhrman introduces his mother, Isabel, who is nearly 98 years old, still drives, lives independently, and credits her longevity to the nutritional guidance she followed for decades. Her story is a real-life example of what’s possible when nutrition is used as preventative medicine.
Whether you’re focused on healthy aging, disease prevention, or optimizing your health at any stage of life, this conversation is packed with practical insights and motivation.
In this episode, we cover:
What healthy aging really looks like
How the Nutritarian diet supports longevity and vitality
The difference between lifespan and healthspan
Common aging myths—and how to avoid them
Dr. Fuhrman’s real-world family example of nutrition in action
