#27: Eat More Plants and Extend Your Life. With Simon Hill, best selling author, Nutritionist and Physiotherapist

Did you know that a plant based diet doesn't always mean that it's a vegan one?

Meat can actually be consumed and still be considered plant based.

In this episode, plant based eating expert Simon Hill (Plant Proof) and best selling author dives into the science of plants and debunks many well known mainstream nutrition myths to empower YOU to eat more plants and make some very simple changes to optimise your health and extend your life.

We chat about:

• How a plant based diet actually CAN also include moderate amounts of meat and still offer the same benefits as a totally plant exclusive diet
• Why Australians should consider cutting down on their animal product consumption
• How some of the biggest killers in todays society, like heart disease, are in-fact often due to lifestyle, not genetics
• How low carb diets and exclusive plant based diets BOTH offer the same benefits and why
• Many common mainstream nutrition and diet myths are how they are harming us
• How including more plants in your diet can improve your gut health, energy levels and quality of life
• The myths surrounding protein requirements from animal products to meet protein needs and the consumption of dairy to meet calcium needs

And so much more.
