Tips for Adopting a Plant-Based Diet with Dr. Matthew Nagra
Many people are considering plant-based diets for health, environmental, or ethical purposes.
So this week I brought my friend Dr. Matthew Nagra to the show to discuss plant-based diets. Dr. Nagra is a long-time Vegan and also a Naturopathic Doctor who is very well versed in the science of this topic and does a great job of presenting the research about plant-based diets accurately.
On this episode we discuss:
- Main reasons why one would consider adopting a plant-based diet
- Pros and cons of adopting a plant-based diet
- Nutrients of concern when going plant-based
- How to ensure you're meeting your nutrient needs on a plant-based diet
- Other considerations when going plant-based
and more.
