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

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
