Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience

numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you

to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying

the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple

or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue

to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big

plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this

possible.

And so the way we do it is we'll say, all right, here's why a vegan diet or a plant-based

diet, whatever word you want to use, is good. And let's take a week. Let's not start

the diet today. And during this week, let's think of the foods that you might like to have

for breakfast or lunch or dinner that have no animal products in them. They come back

at seven days later. They got their whole list. Now the doctor says, let's eat those foods

that you picked out. For the next 21 days, three weeks, all vegan all the time, but it's

the foods you like. Hey, okay, easy. I can do anything for three weeks and these are the

foods I like. So they eat it and three weeks goes by. Physically, they are changing. They're

losing weight. They're feeling better. If they got diabetes, their blood sugar is starting

to fall. Their digestion is finally sorted out. But the other thing is their attitudes

about foods and their taste for foods are changing too. They didn't expect that because

you didn't try to talk them out of skepticism. After three weeks, they just think, can I

do this for another week? Of course, you couldn't pay them to go back and have a cheeseburger.

That's Dr. Neil Bernard. And this is the Prove Podcast.
