The complete* Grand Rounds with Dr. Baxter Montgomery featuring Don Bennett—a veteran raw-vegan educator and disease-avoidance specialist. In this eye-opening session, we cover why diet and nutrition must be treated separately today, how supply vs. demand for nutrients drives hunger and healing, and what most raw eaters miss about sunlight-made compounds (beyond vitamin D) that impact immunity, blood pressure, and metabolic health. We also unpack B12, iodine, and phototherapy, the pros/cons of cruciferous vegetables and nightshades, food mis-combining vs. mono-meals, and a first-things-first approach to sleep, movement, and stress.
