What's up everybody? Today I'm interviewing Simon Hill. Simon's the founder of

Plantproof.com, the host of the Plantproof podcast and the author of a book called

The Proof is in the Plants and we are going to talk about plants. Doesn't that sound interesting?

Specifically eating a plant-based diet. We're going to talk about

nutrition and how he got into this world and what he's learned and I'm excited to

connect. So good to see you Simon. Thanks Chris. Great to be here. I'm a big fan of

everything that you do. So I'm really looking forward to this chat and seeing

where it goes. Thanks. That's great. So how did you get into plant-based eating?

You want the short story, the long story. You can tell whatever version of the story you want.

Yeah.

I've always been very interested in science ever since I was a little kid.

My dad is a professor.

And for, you know, as long as I can recall, I remember coming home and being surrounded by clinical studies

that he would have had printed out and they were all highlighted and scribbled on and they

were in his car and on the desk and in the kitchen everywhere. And so science has been something

that I was exposed to from the very beginning.

And while I didn't really understand, you know, the specifics of what my dad was looking at,

I could see how important science was to him.

And what he taught me was that science is our method for testing our hypotheses, for testing

our intuition and reducing uncertainty so that as people, as humans, we can make decisions

with more confidence that help improve our lives,

improve our health, our well-being, our longevity, and our overall human experience.
