In this episode, we dive into how to do a vegan and vegetarian diet properly and do it really well, how to maximize keto diets and how fasting shifts your relationship with food, competing as a vegetarian in performance-based sports, how to maintain and build muscle on vegan and vegetarian diets, what are enzymes and probiotics and the benefits of each, why pesticides, detergents, antibiotics, GMOs and hormones are dangerous, and much more.
Enjoy!
