Hey, gang. Well, today I'm excited to interview Dr. Roger Schwelt. Dr. Schwelt is an associate

clinical professor at the University of California Riverside School of Medicine and an assistant

clinical professor at the School of Medicine and Allied Health at Loma Linda University.

He is quadruple board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease, critical care medicine, and sleep

medicine. His current practice is in Beaumont, California. He's a critical care physician,

pulmonologist, and sleep physician, formerly director of intensive care services at San

Georgino Memorial Hospital. He lectures all over the country. And he graduated

from the Loma Linda School of Medicine. And he, some of you may know him, not based on all that

criteria I just shared, but because he's the co-founder of the Medcram channel on YouTube, which has a million

subscribers, more than a million. And it's a fantastic YouTube channel of medical education,

health and wellness education that is evidence-based. He's a great teacher. And really,

I've learned a lot from his videos. I wish I had time to watch every single one,

but there's quite a few now. We'll catch up on that how many they've made in a minute.

But there's a lot. And he's just been really great, really great for just educating not only

med students, but educating the public that want to really dig into

the incredible science, especially around diet and lifestyle medicine. And so, you know, he's

big on a plant-based diet. He's also a believer, a fellow believer. And so I just, I love so

many things about Dr. Schwelt. I'm so excited to introduce you to him.

So without further ado, Dr. Schwelt, thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thanks, Chris. I appreciate you, inviting me on. So let's let's start with, I guess, your backstory.

How did you get into diet and lifestyle medicine? Because this is, and let me, before you answer, I want to say, it's exciting to see this growing.

But it's still sort of on the fringe.
