Eating You Alive

Must-WatchDocumentary

A clear, compassionate look at why so many of us feel unwell — and how everyday people reclaim their health by changing what's on their fork.

Episode Summary

Eating You Alive gently connects the dots between how we eat and how we feel, through the stories of real people reclaiming their energy and their health. It's warm, practical, and never preachy — leaning on a deep bench of doctors to explain the 'why' without ever wagging a finger. If Forks Over Knives makes the case, this one shows you the people living it, and it's a wonderful nudge for anyone who's curious but not sure where to begin. Runtime ~1h 50m (2018).

The People Behind It

Paul David Kennamer Jr.

Director

Paul David Kennamer Jr. directed Eating You Alive after his own experience with whole-food, plant-based eating, producing it with Merrilee Jacobs and the non-profit Purjes Foundation. Rather than lecture, the film lets a chorus of physicians and ordinary people tell the story — which is exactly why it lands so gently.
