We sit down with Roxanne Becker, a lifestyle medicine physician, to discuss the urgent implications of the first human case of H5N1 avian influenza contracted from a dairy cow. We explore how zoonotic diseases like H5N1 and COVID-19 can rapidly mutate and lead to pandemics, the role of intensive farming practices in the spread of these diseases, and the importance of shifting to a whole-food, plant-based diet. Roxanne sheds light on the public health recommendations to prevent zoonotic diseases, the impact of antibiotic use in animal agriculture, and how our dietary choices can reduce the risk of future pandemics.
Roxanne Becker is a lifestyle medicine physician.
She discusses the KevinMD article, "Eating our way to the next pandemic."
