In this episode of the Align podcast, I have a not so conventional conversation with Dr. Joel Kahn on plant-based nutrition. At his core, Dr. Joel Kahn believes that plant-based nutrition is the most powerful source of preventative medicine on the planet. Although, the two of us dive into the precautions vegans need to take when eliminating animal products from their diet long-term. Having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, it was only after Dr. Kahn’s own commitment to a plant based vegan diet that he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. Sharing many of these ideologies in this episode, Dr. Kahn educates us on plant-based nutrition in a refreshingly non-biased light. What you’ll learn: Vitamin deficiencies in a plant-based diet Breaking the myth of protein deficiency How meat is degenerative for the body Environmental affects of vegetables vs. meat Biochemical affects of a plant-based diet How studies vegan and non-vegan diets are skewed How to recognize whether or not a specific diet is right for you A new syndrome: Red Meat allergy Getting ketotic on plants only Keto-friendly beans How your microbiome changes when you take meat out of your diet Effects of plaque build-up in the body The type of exercise the human body is built for
