Michael Greger, MD – How Not To Diet: What Does the Science Show Is the Best Way to Lose Weight?
Dr. Michael Greger, MD, FACLM, is a renowned physician, bestselling author, and public health advocate known for his science-driven approach to nutrition and wellness. As the founder of NutritionFacts.org and a Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, his work has illuminated the evidence behind lasting, sustainable health changes.
In this illuminating video presentation, Dr. Greger unpacks the complexity of weight management — revealing that it’s far more nuanced than the simplistic “calories in, calories out” approach. Through thousands of peer-reviewed studies, he explores how calorie density, satiety, fiber, and even culinary spice can radically shift the way our bodies respond to food.
Here at Vallarta Breeze Yoga, we share that same commitment to evidence-based, holistic wellness. Led by Jai Salsbery, Certified Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher / Trainer, and Certified Nutrition Coach, our approach integrates mindful movement, functional fitness, and nutrition consultations into a boutique experience tailored to every individual. Jai’s philosophy — rooted in both tradition and science — aligns beautifully with Dr. Greger’s insights, encouraging clients to move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions toward meaningful, sustainable transformation.
This video complements our mission: empowering you to reclaim your vitality through intelligent movement, informed eating, and compassionate guidance. Enjoy!
