Dr. Michael Klaper Is Moving Medicine Forward And Living An Ahimsa Life

Today, our guest is Dr. Michael Klaper, an American physician, vegan health educator, internationally-recognized teacher, and sought-after speaker on nutrition and health who has been shining his light in the medical community for many decades. Dr. Klaper graduated from medical school in 1972, turned vegan in 1981, and holds a level of experience and expertise that is near impossible to surpass. He is a member of the PlantBased Telehealth family and the first doctor we have spoken to who is now going into medical schools to share the evidence and health benefits of living a whole-foods plant-based life. Dr. Klaper teaches that health comes from healthy living and dedicates himself to the healing and flourishing of all living beings and our planet. I will assume that most of our listeners have seen Dr. Klaper in paradigm-shattering documentaries and heard him speak many times, and if that is the case, I will also assume that you are like BJ and I and can’t get enough. We hope you enjoy the show.
