In this landmark interview (the first ever recorded interview of Drs. Appel and Sacks together!) we discuss the origins of the DASH Diet. DASH means Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. It’s an eating plan, from before it was “low sodium” to variations with OmniHeart (comparing standard high carb DASH to reduced carb approaches emphasizing higher, largely plant based, proteins and monounsaturated fats) to OmniCarb (comparing two healthy versions of DASH: one low glycemic index and the other high glycemic index) to see what, if any impact, there would be in differing glycemic index in the most at risk subjects: those with insulin resistance. The answers to our questions may surprise you! And as always, Kathleen and I make sure that there are plenty of actionable nuggets to take away from each episode that will increase the odds of your adding not only years to your life, but life to your years!
