The Unemployment Podcast

EP #8: Eating Mostly Plants with Health Professional Hayley


Listen Later

In this episode we chat with health professional, nutrition advocate, and passionate AF human Hayley about the power of eating a whole food plant based diet for the health and longevity of ourselves, our communities, and our planet. We talk about our personal journeys through vegetarian and vegan eating and learning about nutrition from our mothers. We learn more about the work Hayley has been doing for the past years in reducing disparities in opportunities for health and wellness, including continuous access to fresh, healthy foods and nutrition education specifically in low income and primarily Black and Brown neighborhoods in NYC.

Hayley's call to action today is to promote plant based eating! Even if the thought of being plant based/vegan scares you try eating less red meat and cutting back on dairy - for yourself and the environment. Your body and brain will thank you!
