My grandmother was one of those rare, special humans to live to 100 years old. And she actually lived up until earlier this year in February, 2024. In a way, this episode is in her honor because she was one of the more plant forward people in my life. My grandma was a Buddhist and she had the utmost respect for food, whether it came from animal or plants or fungi.Today's topic is all about plant-based and plant-forward diets. There's been a huge shift in food trends where about 10 years ago, being vegan and vegetarian was all the rage. And now, we've swung the pendulum to carnivore and animal-based diets. But when it comes to real scientific evidence around health outcomes, what do the studies say? Are plant-based diets actually healthier for us? And who better to speak on this topic than Chef Dr. Mike, our resident culinary medicine expert.
