In this episode of Teach Me How To Vegan we have an in-depth conversation about what the research says about why cheese is so difficult to give up including what makes cheese such a unique food and how it impacts our brains. We then share our recommendations for giving up cheese based on this information, and provide practical tips to help listeners ditch dairy cheese, or stay the course if they're struggling with cheese cravings.
