Dr. Will Cole joins the Decoding Superhuman podcast to discuss the problems with a vegetarian or vegan diet and how to get the benefits of a plant-based diet through being Ketotarian. 

I spent my mid to late teens to my mid to late 20s being a vegan. It was the conventional vegan diet. It was higher carbohydrates, lower fat.So sprouted grains and soaked you know beans and lentils and legumes. That is by and large where I got my calories. It was better than the standard American diet. But just because something's better doesn't mean it's optimal. Over that time period. I slowly not overnight started seeing digestive issue is and inflammatory problems and fatigue.
