[Dr. Cyrus Khambatta has since decided to leave Mastering Diabetes and is no longer with the company. We wish him all the best.] Can a low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet reverse clogged arteries? The Ornish diet definitely helps your arteries get less and less clogged over time. As for high protein, low carb diets like Atkins, paleo, ketogenic - it's going to be a problem. And this is why Mastering Diabetes has this conversation with Dr. Dean Ornish. The Ornish program is a low-fat, lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet that focuses on whole, unprocessed foods that are nutrient-rich and naturally low in both fat and refined carbohydrates, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and limited amounts of nuts, seeds, and nonfat dairy products. For a long time now, this plant-based diet has proven to prevent and reverse the progression of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Now, it's time to hear the science behind it. How is a plant-based diet the best diet for your heart. Here's the conversation. _ _ _ _ Dr. Dean Ornish is an American physician and researcher. He is the president and founder of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

In 2011, Barack Obama appointed Ornish to the Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health.
