Summary

In Episode #122, I sat down with Dr Gemma Newman to chat about her new book, The Plant Power Doctor, and the benefits of a plant-based approach. We covered Gemma’s understanding of nutrition as a young doctor, the advantages of a plant-based approach, and what Gemma sees in her medical clinic.   We also talked about nature versus nurture, plant-based versus vegan, antioxidants, food and hormones (including thyroid health and polycystic ovary syndrome), the role of dietary fats and hormones, organic versus conventional produce, and what Gemma eats in a day.
