It was an honour to be the first ND featured on Plant-Based Canada‘s new podcast and the first guest who was not also a co-founder of the organization. I have immense respect for Plant-Based Canada and hope I can help this organization grow in the years to come.
In this episode we discuss:
- How I incorporates evidence-based medicine into his practice.
- The biggest advantages to following a plant-based diet.
- Myths around the consumption of soy products.
- Getting enough vitamin K2 on a plant-based diet.
- The debate over whether vegetables oils are healthy.
- Recent results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study suggesting non-meat eaters might be at a higher risk of bone fracture.
