Dr. Lee Kurisko is a radiologist with over 37 years in healthcare in Canada and the United States. After serving as Medical Director of Diagnostic Imaging at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital and practicing in Minneapolis for over two decades, Dr. Kurisko became disillusioned with the inefficiencies of both public and private healthcare models.
He witnessed firsthand how bad policies were continually eroding the quality of patient care. In 2017, he discovered that there were mountains of evidence proving that most chronic diseases were largely driven by diet and lifestyle. And that they can be prevented and reversed. This transformed his personal life and medical practice.
Dr. Kurisko has become a passionate advocate for creating a medical system that addresses the root causes of disease and empowers patients through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle transformation. He shares this mission through Kurisko & Company, a health education platform he co-founded with his wife, as well as his book Health Reform and his upcoming documentary, Uninformed Consent: Revealing the Truth About the War on Cancer.
I’m thankful for Dr. Kurisko’s courage to educate the public about the perils and pitfalls of our broken medical system, as well as his boldness in sharing his journey to faith from atheism.

Thank you for sharing this interview and information.
Great interview!
What an awesome interview! Thank you Chris.
I loved this interview. Thank you!! God bless you both!
Loved this interview! Very informative. Thank you for sharing your story Dr.Kurisko. May God continue to lead you & reveal more of himself to you in the days ahead.
Wow. Great interview, and Chris, you ended up articulating the greatness of God so well. God always answers prayers for His children, but His answers are “Yes, No, and Wait.” Romans 8:28. God keep blessing you and your work Chris.
Great interview, loved it, thank you I’m a radiologist as well, and I can relate to the feeling you get when you spend your entire workday diagnosing lifestyle diseases and realize how massive the problem is, and how little is being done to prevent it.
Thank you Chris to both of you for the interview. I enjoyed the contents immensely. May God be with Dr Kiurisko as he gets baptised and in the future. God’s timing is always the best. Looking forward to the next podcast.
However, my very smart and educated Integrative MD got sick when he became vegan and improved when he added meat back in. But organic grass fed meat. Dairy everyone agrees is not fit for human consumption.
Amazing interview. Definitely up there in my favorites of interviews you have done. I love how he opened up about his journey to faith and your emotion about how good God is and answers to prayer. LOVE it!
Another great interview! Truly amazing listening to Dr. Kurisko’s journey in Healthcare, in Canada and then in the United States and his disillusionment with both because patients didn’t get well with the standard treatment(s). Really enjoyed hearing how he learned about a Whole Foods, Plant based diet on the radio with Dr. Greger. The cherry on the top, was his journey to faith! Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you do to bring these interesting and informative interviews to so many people.
