  1. Why is no one talking about how the way we’re cooking is making us sicker? Maybe it just hasn’t been on anyone’s radar because it’s not what people want to hear. Maybe it’s because food companies don’t want us to hear it. Either way, we’re not talking about it enough. If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that I’m always talking about why we should cook with water based cooking methods to lower our risks of chronic diseases and premature aging. I get a lot of messages from people who never knew water based cooking, like I am here with steam, could actually produce delicious, time-saving dishes. Wish I could say I invented all this but water based cooking is as old as it gets and many of my recipes are pulled from older cuisines and generational dishes from my own family. If you’ve never tried water eggs or steamed eggs before, you’re going to love this one. I said two ingredients in the video, but honestly water doesn’t even count! There are so many versions of water eggs. This is the Chinese version and I’ll actually be sharing the Japanese version (Chawanmushi) next! Ingredients: 2 Eggs Warm water (double the volume of eggs) Pinch of salt Optional toppings: sesame oil, soy sauce, sliced green onions Directions: 1. Measure the volume of the eggs you are using. Beat the eggs until smooth. 2. Add double the volume of warm water (2:1 water to eggs ratio). Add sprinkle of salt. Mix. 3. Pour mixture through a sieve into a heat-safe bowl that will fit into your steamer. Cover bowl with a heat safe plate. This recipe will make 2 bowls and you can cook them individually or together depending on the size of your steamer. 4. Steam for 10-12 minutes on low heat. 5. Remove and cut into squares, then add toppings. Enjoy! xo Dr. Michelle . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #antiagingfood #glycation #steamedegg

  2. If you want to live a long and healthy life, here’s one recipe you’ll absolutely need to learn: A really good broth. A broth like this oxtail pho, my lazy girl version of our family recipe that has been passed down for generations. I’m embarrassed to say that I never realized how much nourishment and love my mom’s pho broth held until I started researching my dissertation for my PhD years ago. My research highlighted the importance of cooking with water to slow aging. Doing so lowers the amount of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the compounds that attach to our DNA and cells. All the evidence was there- cooking with water instead of dry heat slows the rate of total body aging- brain aging, skin aging, and even reverses some complications associated with diabetes. And it had been under my nose, literally, the whole time. This is my lazy girl’s version of my mother’s and my grandmother’s recipe for Oxtail Pho. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family has. Ingredients 2 lbs oxtail (if you have time soak for 1 hr before cooking to remove excess blood, makes a cleaner broth) Pho spices: 5-6 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 1-2 black cardamom 1-2Tbsp each: coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cloves 1 large onion, charred then washed 1 large ginger, charred then washed Fish sauce (or salt) Toppings: chopped cilantro and scallions, Thai basil or Italian basil, diced jalapeño (optional) 1 package of rice noodles, cooked according to directions Directions 1. Place oxtail, charred onion and ginger and spices (put into a steel tea strainer or small cheesecloth bag) into a large pot and cover with cold filtered water. 2. Bring to a boil and then lower to low/simmer for 3 hrs OR hit 45 min pressure cook in the instant pot 3. Before serving, skim the impurities and fat. 5. Season with fish sauce and salt. Some people like to balance it out with a pinch of sugar, but I skip this step. 6. Assemble your bowl with noodles and herbs. Noodle tip: If you have blood sugar sensitivity, feel free to omit the noodles altogether or swap for a low carb option like konjac noodles. 🍜 xo Dr. Michelle . . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #antiagingfood #pho #glycation

  3. Cook this way to age well. How we cook is how we age—and the secret isn’t a supplement or a superfood. It’s water. A 2025 study published in Cell Reports Medicine found that something as simple as water based cooking, that’s cooking with water—steaming, boiling, poaching—can significantly reduce harmful compounds called AGEs (advanced glycation end products). In the study, participants who adopted water-based cooking showed improvements in endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and key markers of inflammation and oxidative stress—all within weeks. These aren’t minor changes. These are the biomarkers that predict how well we age, how likely we are to develop heart disease, and how resilient our bodies are over time. You don’t need to overhaul your entire diet. You just need to rethink how you apply heat. And there’s nothing new about it. My mom and grandmas cook this way. And many people around the world do it too. We’re not catching up to science; science is catching up to us. Ingredients 1 cup rice, rinsed 1 cup English peas 1 cup dashi or water 2 eggs Bok choy flowers (or other soft leafy herbs) Shiso leaves, sliced Fresh chives, minced Chive blossoms (optional) Meyer lemon zest Salt, to taste Directions 1. Add rinsed rice and English peas to a donabe or pot with 1 cup of dashi or water. 2. Cover with a steamer rack if you have one. 3. Bring to a strong steam (about 5 minutes), then place eggs on the steamer rack. If you don’t have this setup, just put the eggs on top of the rice. 4. Steam eggs for 6 minutes. 5. Remove eggs and reduce heat to low. Cook rice for another 5 minutes. 6. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. 7. Peel eggs and serve over the rice with herbs, zest, and a sprinkle of salt. May your light shine bright. May your days be filled with joy and health. 💕🙏🏼 Xo Dr. Michelle Citation in comments bc I’m out of room! . . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #glycation #waterbasedcooking #advancedglycationendproducts

  1. This week, I got test results back for one of my patients, a young woman in her 20s who I met last summer. She hadn’t seen a doctor in years, but she felt fine and just wanted a regular checkup. I learned that she smoked cigarettes and had a family history of type 2 diabetes. . I went over our allotted appointment time (yup, a bad habit of mine 🙃) talking about lifestyle changes to help her get healthier & prevent diabetes, especially quitting smoking and moving towards a plant-based diet. . Her initial bloodwork showed a very elevated blood sugar (hemoglobin A1c near 9.0%) and I diagnosed her with type 2 diabetes. I explained that she would almost certainly be able to improve, and possibly even reverse, her type 2 diabetes by adopting a healthful plant-based diet and becoming more physically active. . I offered her the choice of lifestyle changes, medicines, or a combination of the two, depending on how much she thought she could change. She said she was motivated to eat differently and wanted to try that first. . Fast forward 8 months. She quit smoking. She started working out. And it took her some time, but she adopted a completely plant-based diet. This week her hemoglobin A1c came back below 7.0%, almost out of the type 2 diabetes range. (All this while eating sweet potatoes, fruits, oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, and beans…plus of course lots of veggies.) . Moments like this are why I went to med school. It isn’t the most dramatic transformation story in terms of the numbers. But it’s dramatic in terms of the fact that many doctors and patients don’t even know that something like this is possible. . I am a primary care doctor seeing patients from all walks of life. Very few of them know before they meet me how passionate I am about nutrition. They just think they’re seeing a “regular” doctor. I love giving people a chance to change. To me, it’s not diet vs medications -- it’s a dialog and a relationship, and seeing what’s right for each individual person. But few people escape my office without a conversation about food, because it’s so fundamental to health. . On this #nationaldoctorsday, here’s to more of us making that connection.

  3. I had the chance to lead two sessions on plant-based diets at the recent American Diabetes Association clinical meeting! To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but wow, the rooms were packed & there were tons of great questions. I was also thrilled to see quite a few fellow plant-based practitioners in the audience! . My 1st session was on plant-based diets for preventing & treating type 2 diabetes. It was a challenge to squeeze this into 45 mins because there is so much supporting evidence! My 2nd session was a workshop for clinicians to help their patients adopt a plant-based diet. For a recap of the science, read on 👇 . PREVENTION: Large observational studies in health-conscious populations show that vegetarians & vegans have approximately half the rate of diabetes as omnivores, even with statistical adjustments for differences in excess weight & other risk factors. And when followed over time, plant eaters experience up to a 62% lower risk of developing diabetes. . TREATMENT: Plant-based diets are remarkably effective. Randomized controlled trials have shown that a plant-based diet is superior to conventional diabetes diets - not just in terms of lowering blood sugar, but also cholesterol & excess weight. Moreover, plant-based diets significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, the #1 cause of death for people with diabetes. They’ve also been shown to decrease rates of premature death in people with kidney disease, and to ameliorate painful diabetic neuropathy! . HOW DOES IT WORK? Plant-based diets address the root causes of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance & dysfunction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Both are related to the buildup of certain types of fats in our muscle, liver, & pancreas cells; this can happen when we carry excess weight, eat too many calories, eat a high-fat diet, and/or have chronic inflammation. Plant-based diets are rich in fiber, antioxidants, & micronutrients, and low or absent in saturated fat, animal protein, heme iron, advanced glycation endproducts, nitrosamines, & TMAO precursors - a potent combination that reduces fat buildup & helps restore insulin & beta-cell function. .
