2012: Riding my bicycle 7,000 miles a year and could easily ride for 7+ hours (100 miles a day) multiple days in a row
Most would consider that being physically fit

Felt like I slept well Cope fine with stress Good marriage, family life, career Not on medication, no tobacco, drugs, only
occasional alcohol, and plenty of exercise

Food is personal Food is Mom, Grandma, culture, social, religion,
comfort, memories, feelings, emotions
Nutrition is a science, and science is not personal…it is what it is
“Science is defined by the scientific method; it’s an unbiased search for truth and a willingness to be proved wrong.” (T. Colin Campbell phD from his book titled, “Whole”)
![Page 10: Scott E. Wagnon PA-C Oregon Medical Group Internal Medicine … · 2018-10-03 · Have patients watch the documentary, “Forks Over Knives” There is a new documentary about to](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041116/5f292230ad0c682e5d675577/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
First we must discuss two Paradigms
Reductionism
Wholism
![Page 11: Scott E. Wagnon PA-C Oregon Medical Group Internal Medicine … · 2018-10-03 · Have patients watch the documentary, “Forks Over Knives” There is a new documentary about to](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041116/5f292230ad0c682e5d675577/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Looking at single chemicals Single nutrients Single mechanisms Most often evaluated in Randomized
Controlled trials (RCT’s) Good for Pharmaceuticals Many advances in Science as a result
![Page 12: Scott E. Wagnon PA-C Oregon Medical Group Internal Medicine … · 2018-10-03 · Have patients watch the documentary, “Forks Over Knives” There is a new documentary about to](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041116/5f292230ad0c682e5d675577/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Multiple Variables Thousands of Nutrients Thousands of Mechanisms Evaluated in Population studies and dietary
change experiments which are weaker levels of evidence as you get mostly associations
Association does not prove causation
![Page 13: Scott E. Wagnon PA-C Oregon Medical Group Internal Medicine … · 2018-10-03 · Have patients watch the documentary, “Forks Over Knives” There is a new documentary about to](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041116/5f292230ad0c682e5d675577/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But, when these associations are shown over and over, for example when 19 out of 20 associations point in the same direction, they are highly likely to be true
Nutrition is a Wholistic science We get more data and information on how things
work from Reductionist studies We get more knowledge and wisdom from Wholistic
studies
![Page 14: Scott E. Wagnon PA-C Oregon Medical Group Internal Medicine … · 2018-10-03 · Have patients watch the documentary, “Forks Over Knives” There is a new documentary about to](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041116/5f292230ad0c682e5d675577/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Most of the large nutrition studies are Wholistic studies (Population studies, Longitudinal, Observational, and Dietary change experiments)
Exception: Lifestyle Heart Trial by Dean Ornish M.D. was an RCT (1990; published in the Lancet)

It appears the closer you move toward a more whole foods plant based diet, the lower are the rates of chronic disease
The closer you are toward the Standard American Diet (SAD) diet, the more likely you will have a chronic disease

Yes and No
A Whole Foods Plant Based diet if you are following it 100% is a Vegan Diet…but a Vegan diet isn’t necessarily a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet
Many Vegans eat a lot of processed Vegan Foods (Chips, Donuts, French Fries, Vegan Bacon, Vegan Sausage, Vegan Ice Cream, Lots of added oil, etc…)

Started making changes toward the “Plant Based,” Plant Strong” end of the Spectrum based on my health goals.
Tastes change over time
After a year doing this myself, I then started recommending it to patients

Whole plant foods are low in calorie density and high in nutrient density (weight loss)
No calorie counting, weighing food, counting carbs, portion control (don’t have to be hungry)
Get all the protein, including all the Amino Acids you need
Loaded with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber and “good” fats
Sustainable way to eat from an environmental standpoint

Made by bacteria in the soil Dirt on food, drinking stream water
Animals are the “middle man”
Is this a problem? Even Omnivores are often deficient secondary to
absorption issues (lack of Intrinsic Factor/PPI’s)
Take a supplement (2,500mcg SL per week)

In 2015 classified processed meats such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs, lunch meats, etc. as Class 1 Carcinogens (Definitely cause Cancer)
Which is the same classification as Tobacco, Asbestos and Plutonium
This was released to the public and medical profession at the time. How many of you were aware of this?
