n the final part of our three-part conversation, Dr. Michael Klaper tackles a question many people are quietly asking: Can AI tools like ChatGPT actually help us make better health decisions?
Dr. Klaper shares his grounded perspective on using AI as a research assistant, not a replacement for lived experience, critical thinking, or medical judgment. We explore how AI can help people better understand nutrition science, break down complex research papers, and ask more informed questions during doctor visits.
At the same time, we talk about responsibility. AI is powerful, but it must be used with discernment. Dr. Klaper emphasizes the importance of verifying sources, understanding study design, and recognizing that technology should support human wisdom rather than override it.
Topics Covered
- Growing distrust in medical institutions
- Conflicting government nutrition guidelines
- Media headlines that oversimplify complex science
- Why whole food plant-based eating remains one of the most evidence-backed foundations for long-term health
