Please enjoy this interview with Dr. Richard Aiken, author of The New Ancestral Diet. Dr. Aiken is the medical director of the Lakeland Behavior Health Center in Missouri. He began his plant based journey after hearing an interview with former President Clinton discussing a vegan diet and Forks over Knives. Yet another testimony that we physicians get little nutrition training unless we seek it out for ourselves often away from mainstream medial education. As a mathematician and physician he was very interested in the scientific models of plant and animal evolution and how they applied to today's healthcare crisis. He has enjoyed the benefits of a plant based diet and he is now moving forward to apply his findings to his current practice of psychiatry.
