Dr. Frank Sabatino explores the health benefits of a plant-based diet as well as the impact of animal-based foods on the environment with Dr. Klaper and Moving Medicine Forward.
Long before plant-based eating was “cool” there were a handful of doctors who knew health, or lack thereof, was a direct result of what people eat.
Ahead of the times, Dr. Michael Klaper was among the few and far between doctors who intuitively understood the healing power of food.
As an early adopter of a whole food, plant-based diet, Dr. Klaper didn’t shy away from letting his patients know that a plant-based diet and a balanced lifestyle are essential for health and can be the difference between healing an illness or treating its symptoms.
NHA is honored to have had Dr. Klaper as a presenter at the annual conference as far back as 25 years ago. The longstanding relationship is one we value and cherish.
In this episode of the Health Science Podcast, host, Dr. Frank Sabatino explores the health benefits of a plant-based diet as well as the impact of animal-based foods on the environment with Dr. Klaper and Moving Medicine Forward.

About Dr. Michael Klaper
Dr. Klaper is a gifted clinician, internationally recognized teacher and speaker on diet and health.
In addition to his clinical practice and private consultations with patients, Dr. Klaper is a passionate and devoted educator of physicians and other healthcare professionals about the importance of nutrition in clinical practice and integrative medicine.
Dr. Klaper is the author of Vegan Nutrition; Pure and Simple. He has also produced numerous videos, webinars and dozens of articles for both scientific journals and traditional press.
As a source of inspiration, advocating plant-based diets and the end of animal cruelty worldwide, Dr Klaper contributed to the making of two PBS television programs including Food for Thought and the award-winning movie, Diet for a New America.

As well, he received training in surgery, anesthesiology and orthopedics at the University of British Columbia Hospital in Vancouver and trained in obstetrics at the University of California Hospital.
As his medical career progressed, Dr. Klaper began to realize that many of the diseases his patients presented – clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure (hypertension), obesity, adult-onset diabetes and even some forms of arthritis, asthma, and other significant illnesses – were made worse, or actually caused, by the high sugar, high fat, high salt, overly processed, animal products, all part of the Standard American Diet.
