"It's not about labeling yourself vegan or vegetarian, it's about building your meals from the foods that are consistently shown to benefit human health."
-Dr. Alan Desmond, Gastroenterologist, Author, Speaker
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the incredible Dr. Alan Desmond. Dr. Alan is a UK-based Gastroenterologist, speaker and author. We talk about how his fascination with young people being hospitalized led him to specialize in gastroenterology, how seeking answers and seeing the incredible results of his patients on a whole food plant-based diet led him to speaking and writing his book, why the food that people consume in the US is the number one cause of disease and disability, why the evidence on what we should be eating is crystal clear, the many myths around protein and a whole food plant-based diet, why there are limitless ways to go about a whole food plant-based diet, all about our gut microbiome and how our diet impacts it, why eating healthy is about eating foods that are consistently shown to benefit human health, the connections between covid, food production, and human health, and where you can get his new book The Plant-Based Diet Revolution.
