EPISODE 7: The truth about Cancer with Dr Andre Amorim
In Episode 7 of the Green Life I have a guest I know, trust and can totally vouch for , as he is my own integrative Physician. Dr Andre Amorim is a classically trained MD who breached the gap between allopathic and natural medicine. In this episode we discuss the scary C word: Cancer! The truth about Cancer is that it is NOT a death sentence; but we need to know what to do and take responsibility or our health, to only in the face of a diagnosis, rather in a preventive manner.
Since his early years, Dr. Amorim has been an enthusiastic proponent for a more natural approach to health and life.

These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist.

EPISODE 12: THE FUTURE OF NUTRITION WITH DR T . COLIN CAMPBELL
In episode 12 of The Green Life , I have the privileged to discuss the future of nutrition with the father of Modern Day Plant Based Nutrition, Dr T Colin Campbell. Based on his latest book by the same title, we discuss how oversimplifying nutrients has caused confusion, the negative impact of private financial incentives on food policies and more!
T. Colin Campbell, PhD has been dedicated to the science of human health for more than 60 years. His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Although largely known for the China Study–one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted, and recognized by The New York Times as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology”–Dr. Campbell’s profound impact also includes extensive involvement in education, public policy, and laboratory research.
Dr. Campbell grew up on a dairy farm and was the first in his family to go to college, where he studied pre-veterinary medicine at Pennsylvania State University. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, and while completing his first year at the University of Georgia veterinary school, he received a telegram from a well known professor at Cornell University, offering a scholarship and research opportunity too good to turn down. And so he completed his education at Cornell University (M.S., Ph.D.) and MIT (Research Associate) in nutrition, biochemistry and toxicology. He then spent 10 years on the faculty of Virginia Tech’s Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition before returning to Cornell in 1975 where he presently holds his Endowed Chair as the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry in the Division of Nutritional Sciences.
Dr. Campbell’s research experience includes both laboratory experiments and large-scale human studies. He has received over 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding (mostly with NIH), served on grant review panels of multiple funding agencies, actively participated in the development of national and international nutrition policy, and authored over 350 research papers, most published in peer-reviewed science journals. Throughout his career, he has confronted a great deal of confusion surrounding nutrition and its effects. It is precisely this confusion that he has focused so much on, in recent years.
In order to synthesize the findings of his long and rewarding career, and to give back to the public whose lives are threatened by rampant misinformation and special interests, Dr. Campbell co-wrote The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (2005, 2016), which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 50 foreign languages. He is also the author of the The New York Times bestseller Whole (2013), The Low Carb Fraud (2013), and The Future of Nutrition. An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong and How to Start Getting It Right (2020). Several documentary films feature Dr. Campbell and his research, including Forks Over Knives, Eating You Alive, Food Matters, and PlantPure Nation. He continues to share evidence-based information on health and nutrition whenever given the opportunity. He has delivered hundreds of lectures around the world and he is the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate in partnership with eCornell.
WELLNESS RETREAT TUCSON OCT 31T -NOV 5TH 2022

AMAZING PROJECT at the Centre of Nutrition Studies
The T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies (CNS) is committed to increasing awareness of the extraordinary impact that food has on the health of our bodies, our communities, and our planet. In support of this commitment, CNS is creating a Community Grants service initiative to empower sustainable food-based initiatives around the world. They will do this by providing grants to enable innovative start-ups and to propel the growth of existing initiatives. This initiative is overseen by Dr Cambell's daughter LeeAnne Campbell PDH

EPISODE 15: A sustainable way to save the planet with Nick Ritar from Milkwood.net
In this episode of TGL we explore how to learn skills that can save our planet, allow us to create sustainable living and create communities with like minded people! I speak to Nick Ritar, co-founder of Milkwood, an online platform that teaches people all over the world how to create a sustainable ecosystem in our gardens, on our lands, and grow amazing food too!
Milkwood is dedicated to teaching and sharing permaculture skills, for living like it matters.
It all began in 2007, on a farm in New South Wales, Australia…
Kirsten Bradley, Nick Ritar (and later their kiddo, Ash) started off as just a small crew, when they moved to Nick’s family farm in NSW Australia, in 2006. They built a tiny house and grew some food. This somehow turned into a wild and wonderful, permaculture-farm-school-experiment-thing – called Milkwood.
They welcomed students and teachers from all over the world to their tin-shed classroom during those years, and they all learned a lot!
Fast forward to 2020 – Milkwood has a larger crew of educators, facilitators and doers.
Together, they teach everything from permaculture design to market gardening, natural building and mushroom cultivation, to help create resilient and abundant households and communities.
They do this by providing free online resources& offering world-class training – skills that give students the confidence to create permanently sustainable systems.
Students leave their courses ready and able to design and implement a better future for their families, farms and communities.
Head this way to see all their upcoming courses – and get inspired to live life better…
