He’s written 100 scientific publications as well as 20 books, including his most recent, Your Body in Balance. He also led a study that was published last year in Menopause, the Journal of the North American Medical Society, which found that eating a soy-rich, all-vegetable diet dramatically cut down on hot flashes and several other menopause symptoms. He is currently replicating that study, which is a big part of the process of scientific inquiry. Dr Barnard explains why diet plays such a major role in the peri/menopause transition, how to make the right changes to go vegan, the problem with fat, as well as provides insight into HRT, genetics, Alzheimer’s and dementia and more.
