Exploring Personal Journeys in Plant-Based Living

Can changing your diet change your life? This psychologist says yes, and in ways you don't expect.

Angela Crawford studied 350 vegans around the world and found that adopting a plant-based lifestyle had profound psychological, emotional and even spiritual impacts on her subjects.

In this episode of The Exam Room podcast, Angela joins Chuck Carroll to unpack the findings of her research and her new book Vegan Transformation: A Journey to Heal Yourself and the World. If you've ever wondered about what it means to be vegan, this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

- How a plant-based diet affects emotional well-being

- What psychological benefits vegans report

- Why going vegan can deepen your sense of purpose

- The role of values and identity in plant-based living

- How to stay true to your values in a meat-eating world
