Curious about how to optimize your health through plant-based nutrition? In this episode I interview Dr. Gemma Newman, a specialist in evidence based nutrition and lifestyle medicine with over 15 years experience as a doctor. Some of the topics we dive into are: Her personal experience discovering plant-based nutrition, and the skepticism and doubts she had when she first heard about it What motivated her to look into the research and what she was surprise to find Low-carb vs plant-based for weight loss/management and long term health The importance of gut health and how to build a healthy gut microbiome Pesticide use and the impact on our health (individual and global) Why pesticides, other environmental toxins and harmful substances become more concentrated in animal products vs plants What the science shows about plant-based diets for pregnancy, breastfeeding and kids Supplementation - what's recommended and why? Is dairy healthy? Why more and more kids are choosing to abstain from animal products Instagram: @plantpowereddoctor Website: https://gemmanewman.com/
