The beginning dates back to a decade ago. I went into medicine because I wanted to help people, but found myself in some hospital-based practice often giving drugs to counteract the side-effects of other drugs I had originally prescribed just to ease symptoms. There were many people with preventable conditions in the hospital bed. I wanted to get to the root cause of the problem and practice medicine on a larger scale.

I started traveling to medical schools, hospital grand rounds, and community groups to talk about preventive and lifestyle medicine. I realized that the speaking tour was unsustainable when I maxed out at 40 talks a month. Five years ago, I started recording an annual, which scoured the world’s scholarly literature for the most interesting, practical, and groundbreaking science published over the last 12 months on how best to feed ourselves and our families to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease.

One of the DVDs caught the attention of the, who offered to put all of my DVDs online in order to fulfill part of their public health mission. NutritionFacts.org was born thanks to them. The site launched in August of 2011 with videos from the first four volumes of my latest nutrition DVD series, and over the last two months has been featuring a new daily video from volume 5. The first video is from the new DVD. The videos off of volume 6 will be up on the site by the end of the year, but if you want a sneak peek at what’s to come, would prefer to watch them straight through, or share them as gifts.

Here is the list of chapters from the new DVD, a preview of what is to come on NutritionFacts.org.
