On today’s podcast episode I’m joined by the amazing Dr Gemma Newman aka the Plant Power Doctor to talk veganism and health. Gemma has been passionately bridging the gap between western medicine and holistic health for the past decade, educating both those in the medical field and her own patients. On today’s episode she offers her view on why eating a plant based diet might just be the best thing we can do for our health and how we can ensure we are getting the right nutrition from a vegan diet. Here are the show notes on everything we discussed:
