65: Why I'm no longer vegan: A new perspective on nutrition, questioning plant based narratives

1 hour 4 minutes

This is a BIG episode! After 7 years of eating a plant-based diet, I have shifted out of this pattern of eating into a new era of food freedom. Over the past 6 months, I’ve made some big changes in how I eat and I am unpacking why in this episode. I cover physical, mental, and emotional aspects of veganism and eating animal products again. This episode isn’t about nutrition dogma, and I encourage you to listen with an open curious mind.
