On this mini episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Jenna Fuhrman is joined by her sister, naturopathic oncologist Dr. Cara Fuhrman, for a quick, fun sister “riff” that turns into a serious PSA: Eat more vegetables. After hosting a wellness + Pilates event with LongevityRx, they brought a carotenoid scanner (a tool that measures antioxidant levels in the skin)… and the results were shocking. Even many “healthy-looking” people scored low, showing they weren’t eating nearly enough fruits and vegetables. They break down why focusing too much on animal protein crowds out nutrient-dense foods, and why greens, beans, nuts, and seeds may be one of the most powerful combinations for satiety and long-term health. Key Takeaways: • Eating Vegetables Is NOT Enough: Portions matter - a LOT • Animal Protein vs Plant Protein: You can get plenty of protein without crowding out nutrient-dense foods • Nutrient Density = Real Health: High nutrients per calorie is the Fuhrman gold standard • Fruit is NOT the Problem: Berries and colorful fruits are loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants • Nature’s Ozempic: Greens, beans, nuts, seeds can dramatically increase satiety and curb cravings • Longevity Starts on Your Plate: Eat the foods that prevent disease before it starts

Heart disease is not an inevitable part of aging. It is largely preventable, and in many cases reversible, when we focus on the root causes instead of just managing lab numbers. The most powerful tools for protecting your heart are not found in a procedure or a prescription. They are built into the choices you make every day.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, yet most conventional approaches focus on managing numbers rather than addressing the root cause. Cholesterol drugs and elective stents can be lifesaving in emergencies, but they often fail to prevent future heart attacks or stop the disease process itself.

In this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman explains what actually triggers a heart attack and why our current medical model often misses the most important drivers of risk. While medications and procedures have a role, lasting protection requires understanding what is happening inside the arteries and how lifestyle directly influences that process.

On this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, host Jenna Fuhrman sits down with her sister, naturopathic doctor, Dr. Cara Fuhrman, to explore a question many people are quietly asking: Is there a smarter, more humane way to think about cancer prevention, treatment, and screening?

Together, they challenge long-standing assumptions about cancer as a matter of bad luck or genetics alone, and instead explore how lifestyle, nutrition, body fat, toxins, and modern screening tools like QT Imaging are reshaping how we understand cancer risk and early detection.

Dr. Cara also shares insights from LongevityRx, the medical center she co-founded with her father, nutritional researcher and physician Dr. Joel Fuhrman, where care is centered on prevention, precision, and long-term vitality—not fear-based medicine.

Think all vitamins are harmless? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Jenna pull back the curtain on the supplement industry — from hidden fillers, dyes and contaminants to the very real harms of common synthetic ingredients. If you buy multivitamins at Target, Costco, or Walmart, press pause and listen.

What you’ll learn:

• Why folic acid (not the folate in greens) can be dangerous and why Dr. Fuhrman avoids it in his prenatal formula.

• Which supplements are worth considering (zinc, B12, iodine, DHA/EPA) — and when testing matters.

• The problems with rancid fish/algae oils, fake labels, and colorful dyes that don’t belong in your body.

• How isolated nutrient pills can behave differently than food-based nutrients — and when a supplement is actually a medicine (and a toxin).

• Practical, science-forward advice on where to spend your health budget and how to be your own health advocate.

Whether you’re a supplement skeptic or a lifelong pill-popper, this episode gives you the evidence-based roadmap to safer choices and smarter nutrition.
