It’s a discussion filled with nutrition tips and insight on how diet and lifestyle changes can reverse many of the underlying conditions that significantly increase the risk for poor outcomes associated with COVID-19. They also preview Dr. Greger’s new book, How To Survive A Pandemic.

To keep things interesting, Dr. Greger is walking on his treadmill during the interview, which is a first for this show. Their “walk and talk” was done during the virtual Fairfax Veg Fest.
