Plant-Based Canada Podcast
Welcome to the Plant-Based Canada Podcast. Join us as we talk with experts to explore the field of nutritional sciences and how our food choices impact our health and the environment. We sit down with Canadian doctors, dieticians, athletes, climate experts and others/more, to break down the evidence behind a Whole Food Plant-Based diet, and discuss the practical steps you can take in your efforts to shift toward a healthier lifestyle. The Plant-Based Canada Podcast is an initiative of the group Plant-Based Canada, which aims to educate the public and health professionals on the evidence-based benefits of plant-based whole food nutrition for individual and planetary health.

Episode 36: Dr. Hana Kahleova, Director of Clinical Research for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Dr. Hana Kahleova is our special guest in this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast!
Dr. Kahleova is director of clinical research for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. She has conducted several clinical trials, using a plant-based diet in the treatment of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease. Her research showed that a plant-based diet leads to a greater weight loss and improvement in metabolism, and addresses multiple mechanisms behind diabetes.
Her research proved that eating a large breakfast and lunch is more beneficial than eating six smaller meals a day for patients with type 2 diabetes. Her research on meal frequency and timing showed that eating less frequently, no snacking, consuming breakfast, and eating the largest meal in the morning may be effective methods for preventing long-term weight gain.
As a member of the American Diabetes Association and as a board member of the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group, Dr. Kahleova is directly involved in the process of updating the nutritional recommendations for patients with diabetes.
In this episode Hana shares:
- Her “Plant-Based” story
- Meal Timing & Frequency
- Body Weight Management
- Healthy vs. Unhealthy PBD
- Future Research
