Dr. Walter Willett, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, has published over 2,000 papers across four decades. His work includes some of the largest and most rigorous studies on diet and chronic disease ever conducted. He is the author of several books, including the bestselling Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy, which challenged prevailing nutrition dogma and offered a clearer, evidence-based path forward. In this conversation, we examine the eating patterns most closely linked to longevity—for both human health and the health of the planet—the rise of foods designed for convenience rather than nourishment, and the risks they pose. We also break down the practical steps that offer the greatest protection against illness. So tune in for the rare opportunity to hear from a scientist and physician whose work continues to define the boundaries of nutrition. What we discuss: The potential risks of dairy consumption during adolescence in relation to bone health. Dairy-free sources of calcium and how to meet needs without milk.
