The Plantwise Podcast is all about evidence-based healthy lifestyle habits and the books that inspire them. Hosted with Brigitte Gemme, Ph.D., the show focuses on plant-based nutrition and the foundations of long-term well-being: exercise, sleep, stress management, community, and a positive mindset. We want to know how to prevent chronic disease and cognitive decline, so we can enjoy long, healthy, active, and meaningful lives.
The podcast features a mix of interviews with plant-friendly authors and solo episodes where Brigitte shares insight from the most important health books of our time.
