Summary
My guest today is author and podcast host Simon Hill.
Simon extended the conversation of his popular podcast PLANTPROOF with his latest in depth book PROOF IS IN THE PLANTS: HOW SCIENCE SHOWS A PLANT-BASED DIET COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE (AND THE PLANET). Regardless if you are a vegetarian, vegan or meat eater, this is a wonderful conversation about food. Eating: we do it several times a day so what are some of the best practices regardless of your tribal eating.
I love Simon's ability to be fair, reasonable and still as detailed in the research as he was able to be today. Science is always moving, but some things keep showing up as best for us and best for the planet. In the end his attitude and ability to dig down into the information will make him a great communicator and advocate for "healthy food" and lifestyle. Simon is not guilting or shaming regardless of your personal preference he is simply sharing and inviting. Enjoy
NOTE: I did not ask about and wish I had more time to dive into supplementation. There is an extensive Chapter in the book on supplements, but I did follow up with Simon and if you are only listening to the podcast the gentle reminder of the importance of B12, D3, and Iodine.
