  • Dr. Newman shares why many vegans are more well versed on the health benefits of plant based eating than their doctors!
  • She explains how she feels her ethics, work, mind and body have been brought into alignment through veganism.
  • Dr. Newman shares how the combination of her husband’s marathon running & her son’s compassion for chickens led her to explore her preconceived ideas about veganism and, ultimately, to changing her diet and her medical specialisation.
  • Dr. Newman speaks about the dangers of getting nutritional advice from YouTubers, with a really interesting insight about why they may change their diet more frequently than the rest of us...
  • She explains her motivation to write The Plant Power Doctor and who she would most like to read the book!
  • Dr Newman shares if she’s ever had a patient for whom a plant based diet hasn’t worked.
