Did you know 8 out of 10 plant-based people are female, and 5 out of 6 people who go meat-free end up going back? What about the fact that the estrogen found in animals is identical to human estrogen, whereas plant estrogen is entirely different from the human form? Or that over the past 20 yrs in over 50 clinical trials on the use of soy in the alleviation of hot flashes, a meta-analysis shows a significant, measurable reduction in menopausal symptoms?   This is only the tip of the iceberg of what science shows us about a plant-based diet, and it’s the exact opposite of what most people are hearing.   In today’s podcast episode — the one we’ve ALL been waiting for — I had the pleasure of talking about science and the behavioral psychology surrounding a plant-based diet with James Wilks.   James is the producer and narrator of The Game Changers, the most-viewed documentary of all time, showcasing the dramatic rise of plant-based eating in professional sports!    (He is best known for winning Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter and serves as a combatives trainer for government agencies, including the US Marshals, US Marines, and US Navy SEALs. Holy hell, right?)   He spent over 7 years researching everything there was to know about a plant-based diet, and let me tell you, it shows! He is brilliant and shared some shocking information that I know you will LOVE.   (My husband went fully plant-based after watching this documentary. It is mind-blowing!)   Find out what happened to him that ended up being a catalyst towards his research for this movie. You are going to love not only his story but also the way he presents the literature.   I know you will thoroughly enjoy this episode!!

Because the science shows that the more you shift in a plant-based direction, the better you get.”   “Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie.” - Jordan Peterson   “The world needs more people who are willing to stand up for something good and true and right.”
