Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they speak with Dr. Thomas M. Campbell II, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center, founder and co-director of the UR Medicine Nutrition in Medicine Research Center, board-certified family physician, obesity medicine specialist, and coauthor of the international bestseller The China Study.

Drawing from decades of experience in nutrition research, clinical practice, and lifestyle medicine, Dr. Campbell shares his unique journey from studying theater and pursuing a career in acting to helping bring one of the world's most influential nutrition books to life alongside his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell. He reflects on the scientific discoveries that challenged conventional thinking about diet and health, and how those findings continue to shape his work with patients today.

In this episode, Dr. Campbell discusses:

• The story behind The China Study and its lasting impact on nutrition science
• What the evidence says about whole food, plant-based nutrition
• How lifestyle medicine can prevent and treat chronic disease
• Practical ways to help patients adopt lasting dietary change
• Why nutrition deserves a central role in modern healthcare

Blending scientific evidence with years of clinical experience, Dr. Campbell offers a thoughtful perspective on how nutrition can be one of the most powerful tools for improving health, preventing disease, and helping people live longer, healthier lives.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the research behind plant-based nutrition and how simple, evidence-based lifestyle changes can make a meaningful difference in long-term health.

Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they speak with Luigi Ferrucci, geriatrician, epidemiologist, and Scientific Director of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), one of the world's leading institutions dedicated to understanding aging and age-related disease.

Originally from Florence, Italy, Dr. Ferrucci earned his medical degree and specialization in geriatrics from the University of Florence before becoming an internationally recognized leader in aging research. Throughout his career, he has focused on understanding the biological mechanisms that drive physical and cognitive decline and how those processes can be measured, prevented, and ultimately slowed.

In this episode, Dr. Ferrucci discusses:

• What aging truly is from a biological perspective
• Why healthspan may be more important than lifespan
• The role of inflammation, metabolism, and mitochondria in the aging process
• How physical and cognitive decline develop over time
• Lessons from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging, one of the longest-running studies of human aging in the world
• Lifestyle factors that can help preserve function, independence, and quality of life as we age

As Scientific Director of the National Institute on Aging, Dr. Ferrucci has helped shape some of the most influential research programs in longevity science, including investigations into the geroscience hypothesis, which proposes that biological aging itself is the primary driver of many chronic diseases. His work continues to advance our understanding of how aging affects the body and how science may help extend healthy years of life.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive aging, the difference between lifespan and healthspan, and the emerging science that could transform how we grow older.

"When was the last time you saw healthy lifestyle spread out over 40 years?"

Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they speak with Dr. Pamela Peeke, a nationally renowned physician, scientist, and leading voice in integrative and preventive medicine. Dr. Peeke is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland, a Pew Foundation Scholar in Nutrition and Metabolism, and a Fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the American College of Sports Medicine. A three-time New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Peeke has spent decades advancing the science of healthy aging, nutrition, stress resilience, and behavioral health.

Drawing from her work in medicine, public health, and lifestyle behavior change, Dr. Peeke shares how our understanding of health has evolved, from a healthcare system focused primarily on disease treatment to one that increasingly recognizes the importance of nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and emotional wellbeing. Her pioneering research and educational work have helped shape conversations around food addiction, metabolic health, resilience, and sustainable lifestyle change.

In this episode, Dr. Peeke discusses:

• The foundations of lifestyle medicine and healthy aging
• The relationship between stress, behavior, and physical health
• Food addiction, overeating, and our emotional connection to food
• Why sustainable habits matter more than quick fixes
• How movement, nutrition, and mindset work together to support longevity

Drawing on decades of research, media education, and clinical experience, Dr. Peeke offers a compassionate and practical perspective on what it truly means to care for our health across every stage of life.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how everyday behaviors, from how we eat and move to how we manage stress, can shape long-term wellbeing, resilience, and longevity.
