Summary
In the late 80s, vegan or even vegetarian registered dieticians were impossible to find … until Brenda Davis made the transition.
Finding herself alone, without even the resources to back up her work as a vegan dietician, she considered changing careers. But instead, she found the courage to speak her truth and make a difference.
Davis is now regarded as the "Godmother" of vegan dieticians, and is an author and internationally acclaimed public speaker.
Tune in to learn:
- Under what circumstances it might not make sense to adhere to a strictly plant-based diet
- The importance of supplementing a vegan diet with B12
- Why some people who make the transition to veganism feel worse, and how to transition properly in order to avoid this
- The incredible health benefits of eating primarily or entirely plant-based
Davis dives into the details of what it means to be vegan, and how to do it the right way. She also shares insights from a comparative study following cohorts of plant-based eaters from Taiwan, the US, and the UK.
Press play to hear the full conversation and check out one of Davis's 13 books on all things plant-based eating and health.
