Video: "In a Nutshell: The Cause and Prevention of Diverticulitis"

Alan Desmond MD

Dr. Clare Day and Dr. Daisy Lund are GPs and Lifestyle Medicine doctors that host the Plant-Based Health Professionals UK podcast entitled, "In a Nutshell."

In this 49-minute episode they interview Dr. Alan Desmond about his experience as a Gastroenterologist Consultant for the National Health Service. He explains the causes and signs of diverticulitis, a frequent ailment in people on the Western diet. He describes the incidence of nuts and seeds in diverticular pouches. He questions the common beliefs and standard treatments for the condition, some of which are unproven and should only be used short term, if at all.
