Hey, everybody, it's Chris. And today I'm interviewing Dr. Jamie Delaney. She's a plant-based

cardiologist and primary care physician with a passion for cooking and endurance sports.

She's actually an ultra runner. And she's 61 years old and I am confident she can outrun me.

Okay. I've never run an ultra race.

I'm actually looking forward to talking to her about this because it just sounds like torture to me,

but I'm so impressed by her.

and compete at a very high level of athletics, but also as a physician, she is helping patients

reverse chronic disease with diet and lifestyle.

What a concept. Of course, if you've been following me

for a while, you know, she's not the first plant-based holistic medical doctor I've interviewed.

She's one of many, and I love introducing these practitioners to you because, one, they're few

these are my favorite people. These are the people that are on the front lines, helping their

patients actually heal, as opposed to just pumping them full of drugs, medicating their symptoms,

and really not solving any problem and actually

sort of kicking the can down the road and creating more problems. So anyway, that's a bit of a long

intro, but Dr. Delaney, thank you so much for taking the time. I'm excited to talk to you.

Finally, nice to speak with you. You and I have spoke on the phone

a little bit over the years, and that's a pleasure to be on your podcast. Yeah. I'm glad to have you,

and this is going to be fun. I asked you before we started recording if you had had any health

challenges that prompted you to get into plant-based
