Joel Fuhrman – Learn more about Joel Fuhrman

Last Updated on April 23, 2023 by admin

One of the bigger names in veganism is Dr. Joel Fuhrman. He’s a celebrity doctor who was once a figure skater for the US World Figure Skating Team back in the 1970s. He competed vigorously until a career-ending injury sidelined him. The alternative medicinal treatments he relied on, according to Fuhrman himself, helped him get back on his feet.

Fuhrman decided a career change was necessary, and so he got into medicine to help others in situations like what he went through. He also began advocating for alleviating chronic disease and obesity via nutritarianism. He believes that, through a combination of cooked and raw vegetables, it’s possible to achieve greater health. Fuhrman also created an Aggregate Nutrient Density Index, (ANDI SCORE) where foods are classified based on their micronutrients. Whole Foods adopted this index not too long after.

He’s published a slew of books over his long and illustrious career, including:

• 1995’s Fasting and Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor’s Program for Conquering Disease
• 2003’s Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss
