#357 - Why I'm No Longer Vegan...

December 14, 2022 • Episode 357

This may come as a big surprise for you... or maybe you saw it coming.

There are still a bunch of vegan doctors in the world, but now one fewer.

I've personally experienced more health than I knew was possible. I've had better endurance, physical performance, and recovery. I've optimized my digestion and created a level of superb resilience to disease and immunity to infection. I've also witnessed countless similar wins in the clients and members of Thrive on Plants.

A vegan diet has treated me very well, but I'm done being vegan.

...

I hope you know that I am kidding... well, sort of. I actually am not vegan and I want to talk about that in this episode. But I most definitely still follow a whole food plant based lifestyle. There is a very significant, and growing, difference between the two that I believe important to discuss.

That's what this is all about - an evidence based discussion as opposed to idealogical dogma.

I understand I may be turning off a lot of "vegans" now, but that's okay. This is an important topic to discuss.

Some highlights from today's episode...

The main difference between a vegan diet and a whole food plant based diet
Why its important to stay free of ideological dogma when it comes to pursuing optimal health
The non-vegan items and actions I use and consume and why I am okay with them
The main tenants of veganism and the hypocrisy in the vegan community at large
How we can move towards embracing more natural whole plant foods in the diet with grace, ease, and compassion
