Peter Max was troubled by the world as it was and pictured it as it should be, with kindness for people, animals, and the planet we share. He was a great supporter of @PCRM and a great friend.
Breaking News: Peter Max, whose trippy Day-Glo artwork expressed the blissed-out exuberance of the countercultural 1960s, has died at 88. nyti.ms/4xU79FO

I would love to see you in California for two evenings this October: Oct. 10 in San Martin and Oct. 11 in Encino. Enjoy plant-based food, meaningful community, and work worth celebrating.

Tonight, I’ll be at the Kennedy Center, thanking @billmaher as he receives the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Bill has helped the Physicians Committee push Congress to improve nutrition in America and helped us replace animals in research and education.
In this @PCRM ad to eliminate animal laboratories at the University of Colorado’s medical school, Bill said, “Don’t let your medical education go to the dogs… or rabbits, rats, or other animals, for that matter. Nearly 70 percent of North American medical schools have dropped animal laboratories from their curricula, and we ought to be able to do the same at CU.”
Bill not only helped us win that campaign; he helped us make that figure 100 percent.

Rochester declared April 2026 Longevity and Vitality Awareness Month, and I couldn't be more honored to be part of it. Sharing this moment with Mayor Kim Norton and AMA President Dr. Bobby Mukkamala at the Community of Wellness Symposium & Gala means the world.

For Endometriosis Awareness Month, we are recognizing the everyday impact this condition has on millions of people.
Research shows that inflammation, hormone regulation, and immune function all play a role in the condition. Plant-based meals can help reduce inflammatory triggers.

Colorectal cancer affects so many families, but the encouraging news is that your plate is one of the most powerful tools you have to often prevent it.
This March, nourish your colon the same way you care for the rest of your health.

Macalester College still uses and kills rats in psychology courses even though most universities replaced animal labs years ago.
Students don’t support this.
83% say animals shouldn’t be used when alternatives exist.

Someone said veggies are unhealthy? 🚩
Science—and common sense—says otherwise.
A plant-based diet supports long-term health and lowers disease risk.

Your most important valentine? Your heart. ❤️
This Heart Health Month, take care of it with plants.
Fruits, veggies, beans, & whole grains support lower cholesterol, better blood flow, & stronger arteries.
Your heart will thank you.

Good news for science: Sustained physician advocacy and public engagement are helping push research toward modern, human-based approaches. OHSU’s vote is an important step in that direction.

You don’t need fish for omega-3s. 🐟🚫
Chia, flax, walnuts, and algae supplements have you covered.

The new Dietary Guidelines are a mixed bag. It’s great to see more emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and limiting saturated fat—but they still promote meat and dairy, which are the top sources of that very same fat.
We can do better.

Students are asking for more plant-based options at school — but school districts face barriers in meeting that demand. Rep @NydiaVelazquez & @RepAdams Plant Powered School Meals Pilot Act would change that. Take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/te… #SchoolFood #SchoolMeals

Join me Nov. 2 in Los Angeles to celebrate 40 years of @PCRM with Moby, Chef Tal Ronnen, Jim Greenbaum, and Dr. Kristi Funk. An afternoon of compassion, connection, and great food.

Chicken is often called a clean protein. But it’s processed by design.
From corn feed to cholesterol-laden meat, it’s a transformation with serious health risks.

As a physician, I’m concerned when we lump all “ultra-processed” foods together. Not all are harmful; many plant-based ones are actually linked to lower diabetes risk. The real issue isn’t processing; it’s what we’re processing.

Processed food isn’t just made in factories. Civet coffee and foie gras are processed inside animals through digestion or force-feeding. It’s a reminder that food processing can take disturbing forms, especially when animals are treated like machines.

Worried about soy and testosterone? Don't be. A meta-analysis of 50+ studies shows soy doesn’t lower T or harm fertility. It may actually help lower body fat, boost testosterone, and protect your prostate. #MensHealthMonth

Macalester College is still using and killing live animals in the psychology classroom, in experiments that have been stopped by leading universities like Yale, Stanford, and Princeton.
