137: Plant Based Diet vs Animal Based: Which is Better?03 Apr 202400:38:07

As a naturopathic doctor and certified nutritional counselor, I'm excited to dive deep into the debate around plant-based versus animal-based diets for optimal heart health. While there's a lot of conflicting information out there, I believe the key is understanding your own unique metabolic individuality. Through my own personal experience and working with clients, I've seen how the same foods can have vastly different effects on different people. In this episode, I'll explore the anatomical and physiological evidence that suggests humans are designed to thrive on a diet that includes both plant and animal-based foods. I'll also unpack the crucial role that nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and B12 play in supporting a healthy heart, and why getting these from whole food sources is so important. By the end, you'll have a clear roadmap for nourishing your heart and optimizing your health through personalized dietary choices.
