In this episode, I’m joined by renowned registered dietitian and plant-based pioneer, Brenda Davis. With decades of experience and 13 books to her name, Brenda shares powerful insights on fine-tuning plant-based diets for every stage of life, and using nutrition to prevent and treat chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
We explore the role of processed foods and faux meats in a healthy diet, and her inspiring journey of being vegan for 36 years (she started back when plant-based diets were dismissed as mere fads). Whether you're a long-time vegan or just plant-curious, this conversation is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss.
Important topics we discussed:
>> Brenda’s been vegan for 36 years! She shares her story. (Back then, vegetarian diets were labelled as “fad diets” in her university textbooks!)
