If you’re curious about how diet can dramatically impact chronic inflammation, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Dr. Jules Cormier, a physician, educator, and advocate for lifestyle medicine who transformed his health after years of living with multiple chronic conditions. Through a whole food, plant-based diet, Dr. Cormier reversed issues like asthma, eczema, and chronic urticaria — and now teaches future physicians about the power of nutrition.
Since 2007, Dr. Cormier has practiced family medicine, taught at his local medical school, and led a thriving skin surgery clinic. After overcoming asthma, eczema, chronic urticaria, and cholinergic angioedema through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle changes, he became a passionate proponent of plant-based living. Today, he teaches lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and family medicine to medical students, and shares his expertise as a naturopath and creator of plantbaseddrjules.com, a free resource for those pursuing better health.
A committed athlete, Dr. Cormier has represented the Maritime provinces at the World Ninja Championships in Las Vegas (2022), Orlando (2023), and California (2024). As a public speaker and coach, he empowers others to take control of their health through sustainable nutrition and fitness, both in clinical practice and across his online platforms.
In this episode, we talk about what inflammation really is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, and evidence-based ways to lower your risk through everyday food choices. Dr. Cormier also shares practical tips to help you make lasting changes without feeling restricted.
Learn more about Dr. Jules on his website plantbaseddrjules.com, his Instagram @drjulescormier, and his podcast The Dr. Jules Plant Based Podcast.
