Episode Description

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
