Curious about how to optimize your health through plant-based nutrition? In this episode I interview Dr. Gemma Newman, a specialist in evidence based nutrition and lifestyle medicine with over 15 years experience as a doctor. Some of the topics we dive into are:

• Her personal experience discovering plant-based nutrition, and the skepticism and doubts she had when she first heard about it
• What motivated her to look into the research and what she was surprise to find
• Low-carb vs plant-based for weight loss/management and long term health
• The importance of gut health and how to build a healthy gut microbiome
• Pesticide use and the impact on our health (individual and global)
• Why pesticides, other environmental toxins and harmful substances become more concentrated in animal products vs plants 
• What the science shows about plant-based diets for pregnancy, breastfeeding and kids
• Supplementation - what's recommended and why?
• Is dairy healthy?
• Why more and more kids are choosing to abstain from animal products
