At the Helm
Welcome to the At the Helm podcast, where we explore food as treatment for chronic disease.
Throughout this podcast series, Dr. Charles Helm, a BC family doctor, will talk to a diverse array of guests about how what we eat may set us up for disease, and importantly, how changing what we eat can be as powerful as any drug for treating certain chronic diseases, like type 2 diabetes. Welcome to the first episode where Dr. Helm will talk about is own background and why he is passionate about exploring this topic with you.
