    Too many recent pseudoscience guests focused on products.
    Edit since the rebrand: I think the rebrand fits much better for the podcast now. Dr. Yami is more up front about her acceptance of care that goes beyond what medical doctors normally touch on. I also have heard less product and service driven guest on the show. I started listening to the show because it had some really great information on having a healthy lifestyle while being vegan or on a plant-based diet. It really struck a great balance of having science and evidence based research while being assessable. Over the past year, I have noticed that more and more of the guests have been people selling products, and lots of these products have been more pseudoscience based. They are using the trend of cutting edge science, that we are just learning about, but then, pretending like they know the answers to them. A lot of people are talking about healing, the guts and our bacteria, and those are very important, but we really don’t quite know how to fix them besides getting fiber, the most recent episode, I listen to had a functional medicine doctor on there, and functional medicine is a great example of one of those fields that sounds great, and looks science based, but has a lot of pseudoscience undertones. I feel like older episodes, had more guest where Dr. Yami would be the person inviting guest on who were medical doctors. And now I feel like the guest are the people approaching Dr. Yami, who are actually just wanting to sell their products.

    I Am Human podcast
    I love this new podcast that evolved from Dr. Yami’s Veggie Doctor podcast! The guests are super interesting and I like the part at the end when each guest says their name followed by “I am human.”

    Great interviews with lots to think about
    Such a great podcast for health! Love the focus on wellness and nutrition and avoiding focus on weight. Fasting series was so interesting and gave me so much to ponder regarding wellness and autoimmune diseases and fasting! Keep up the good work Dr Yami!!!
  • Angie Amy
    Fabulous Podcast!
    Thanks so much for your informative and entertaining podcast! I particularly appreciate your honesty and openness as you share new topics. Your Fasting Series is exactly what my friends and I need to understand that complicated subject.
  • Mememememe6969
    “Women” is not a dirty word
    I unsubscribed the second I heard you say “pregnant people”. Only women get pregnant, and if you’re so ignorant of biology that you don’t know this, I can’t trust anything you say, and am suspicious of any school that would give you a medical degree.
  • Torie1012
    Fantastic podcast!

    Essential podcast on my plant based journey

    Love this podcast!
    I love this podcast! Dr. Yami is a fantastic interviewer. She herself is also full of great knowledge as well. But the interview with Jane in her 70’s is hands down my favorite! So inspiring! Thank you thank you

    Best Plant Strong Pediatrician Ever
    I recently heart Dr. Yami on Rips podcast, trust me, I'm Now following her lifesaving sharing health podcasts too! I don't know if Dr Yami is a Jesus Follower, but her love of life and all people lead me o believe she is! I appreciate her Not shaming people who aren't Vegan, that simply because i choose to eat whole food plant strong, does Not make it a religion! she's got my support

    Devolved Into Woo Woo
    This slow used to be a good evidence based podcast with a focus on family medicine. Recently it’s devolved into what James Randi used to call “woo woo.” That’s alternative medicine nonsense.

    Love this podcast!
    I recently went wfpbno in February 2022 after a diabetes diagnosis. Working to reverse it and have had great success following the Mastering Diabetes method. So great to hear other resources in support of eating plants.
  • K. Forde

    Great Podcast!
    My kids and I are trying to eat a more plant-based diet and I really appreciate all of the information, tips, and meal ideas Dr. Yami shares. Each episode is short, easy to follow, and full of research driven data.
  • Kathleen Gage
    A wide range of expert interviews
    Love this podcast. So many great interviews. A wide range of topics that any parent would benefit from listening to. Heck, anyone who would benefit from listening. Great job.

  • Nancygaye
    My new favorite podcast!
    I just discovered Dr. Yami’s podcasts and I’m so glad I did. I have a 45 minute commute to work so enjoy podcasts very much. I am also newly plant based for about 6 months. Her podcasts are so unique. My favorites so far are beans, whole grains and her interview with Carly Asse. Wow! I encourage everyone to listen to that one. What an inspiring story! I’m a fan of Dr. Yami for life. <3
  • selmahamza86
    I learn something new every time
    I have been listening to this podcast for over 8 months now, and in each episode I learn something new and useful that I can apply to living a more positive, healthful and joyous life. Dr. Yami helps me feel connected and validated in my new approach to feeding my family. Thanks for all work you do to bring us this important information. You rock!
  • brown.m311
    Excellent show!
    I came across Dr. Yami’s podcast when I wanted to learn more about plant based nutrition for my young nieces and nephews and instantly bought her book. I want to be a good roll model for them because I know they watch what I eat and I want to be able to answer their questions and inspire them to someday eat plant based. Thank you for your amazing knowledge and helping others.
  • Elsmum10
    Love this podcast!
    I have recently discovered Dr. Yami, and I really appreciate her honest and straightforward approach to health. I have learned so much about nutrition and health from listening to the podcast and truly enjoy it. Thank you for helping my family and I on our health journey, Dr. Yami!
  • Elise Lovejoy
    Fantastic podcast!
    I recently discovered Dr. Yami’s podcast and it has changed my life! I published my first cookbook on transitioning to whole food, plant based eating in March 2020 and then the COVID lockdown started. Having recently moved to a different part of the state, I really missed my plant based friends and community. Dr. Yami’s podcasts reminded what a wonderful community of plant based eaters and professionals exists out there. Her podcasts cover a broad array of useful and inspirational topics and I love how she asks each of her guests to tell the story of how they became plant based eaters. She is an inspiration! Thank you! Elise Lovejoy

    I love Dr. Yami!
    I recently discovered this podcast while I was trying to find a new plant-based podcast to listen to. So happy I did! Dr. Yami is amazing! She has such a calm voice and I love all of the interviews she has with different experts in the field of plant-based medicine. I immediately followed her on instagram too (highly recommend)!
  • Idaho veggie mom
    LOVE Dr Yami’s podcast
    Wow! I haven’t heard an episode yet that isn’t informative, helpful, inspiring... Thank you Dr Yami! I’m a working mom with a 9 year old and 6 year old. I am a firm believer in a whole food plant based diet for optimal health, but have only been on this journey for a few years and get side tracked on occasion. My husband is not on board (yet ;)) and my kids are marginally onboard. I’ve struggled with finding recipes for the family, how to eat out at restaurants, juggling being a mom with a career. Dr Yami has so many tips herself and has so many AMAZING guests. I am so thankful and will continue to listen. I appreciate all you do.

    The best veggie podcast to date!!!

    Great Podcast
    I love having a go-to resource for learning about more natural health solutions that are primarily plant-based!
  • Bailaprieta
    A working mom’s ideal podcast
    The veggie dr hosts an array of guests and relevant topics to promote a healthier lifestyle. I particularly found episodes about the pandemic very helpful. Raising a newborn and a toddler I look forward to new episodes because I learn new strategies on raising and feeding my family.

    Very informative and wonderful guests.
  • AshleyBmamaof2
    Love Veggie Dr!
    I started listening to this show a couple of years ago and recently ready her book a parent’s guide to intuitive eating and love it(I read it in two days easy and informative read)! I love the fast array of interviews. It keeps me staying positive and gives me a new tidbit every episode...I also love all the references I get from it for example I LOVE the cookbook I bought after listening to one of her episodes...peanut butter jelly banana bread... I admit I thought gross... then I bought the book tried several recipes... and thought okay it is the authors favorite recipe, be brave try new things...omg it is a favorite in our house now!
  • InvitePlantsToEveryMeal
    Look no further, she’s the one!
    To say that finding Dr. Yami was priceless is an understatement. Her genuine and fun personality(along with an extreme wealth of knowledge) keep you informed and aware. Her podcasts give you a similar feeling of talking to a friend for advice. She shares information in a way that anyone can understand and feel like part of the conversation. Promoting a plant based lifestyle is key for many of us, especially as Moms/parents. To find someone willing to sit down and plant the seeds of plant life is an amazing find 😊
  • NotAloneAlex
    Great podcast
    Thank you for always posting informative episodes. It has become a family tradition to listen to Veggie Doctor Radio! 💚💚💚💚
  • weeklytrain
    Infomative and entertaining
    I met Dr. Yami's husband on a mountain bike tour I did in Oregon this year. We talked generally about being on a plant based diet and he shared with me his wifes podcast that she hosts. I tuned in after returning from the trip and I love Yami. I actully don't have small children anymore, however, I find plenty of her programs to entertain me and increase my knowledge about eating a plant based diet. I am going to be a grandma for the first time in February and recommended Dr. Yami's podcast to my son and daughter in law. She listen more than he, but she said she's learning a lot and giving her ideas about feeding her baby as it grows. Thank you so much Yami for such a great resource to eat and stay healthy.

  • k-lochridge
    Dr. Yami is Wonderful!
    I’m so glad I discovered Dr. Yami while listening to the Switch 4 Good podcast. I have been plant based for 2 years but the rest of my family is still omnivorous. I love all of Dr. Yami’s tips and recipes specifically for kids. She has a gentle approach that I find to be much easier to apply with my own family. There are always great guests and Dr. Yami asks all the right questions. I wish Dr. Yami could be my own children’s pediatrician. She is wonderful!!
  • Courtney McDermott
    Love everything about this podcast!
    Wonderful and helpful information and tips for new vegans and veterans. There’s no way you can’t go plant based after listening to these episodes. Each episode is fun to listen too, she is a breath of fresh air. I wish she could be my small toddlers pediatrician❤️

    Podcast #101
    I liked the podcast 101 with Eric Adams. I agree with him on doing the right thing. You said he is running for mayor of New York, and I hope he wins. He is everything government needs right now. Your podcasts are very amazing, and I like them a lot. You have so many interesting people you interview that I can’t wait for the next podcast. Keep up the good work and keep sending me more.
  • 💕 Alex

  • Jocelyn D..
    Great informative podcast
    Love Dr. Yami’s podcast. I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while. She’s a great interviewer. Always asks great questions. She is also very passionate about whole food plant based nutrition and you can hear it in her voice. I wish I could have her as my kids’ pediatrician. Thanks Dr. Yami for sharing all your knowledge and tips with everyone. We need more pediatricians like you 😍😍
  • Razorpacs
    Dr. Yami is the best
    Dr. Yami is such a natural podcast host - she is delightful to listen to and the research she puts into these important topics is obvious. She is smart, empathetic and lives the life she promotes as a physician. Can not recommend this highly enough!
  • bieber4556
    Love!
    I enjoy listening to this podcast in between classes on campus and while I commute. Love the guests every episode and love the evidence based approach. I do wish the episodes dove a little bit deeper into the science and medicine of WHY lifestyle changes occur after altering your diet. Otherwise, I'm a big fan and plan on listening to every episode created!
