Dr. Rogers Shows What He ACTUALLY Eats

Peter invited us into his home. His wife, Anna, made the food. And for once, instead of talking about eating one meal a day, Peter just showed us the plate.

No theory. No diet book. The real meal.

Two salads, a big bowl of vegetables, sweet potatoes, pasta, beans, oatmeal, frozen blueberries — and his case for beet juice as a caffeine substitute. He walks through why he eats it all, in what order, and how it carries him through a full clinical day at 63.

Anna shares her own story, too. She grew up in Poland on traditional food, switched to a plant-based diet after she met Peter, and says she’s lighter, has more energy, and watched her skin clear up. She’s funny about it, and honest — including about what it’s like being married to Dr. Rogers.

Practical, personal, and very real.
