In today’s episode of The Plant
Trainers Podcast we talk to the man of everyone’s hour, Dr. Michael
Greger. He is the author of the popular book, How Not To
Die and the genius behind NutritionFacts.org. Dr. Michael
Greger and his team read through every scientific study written
about nutrition, so we don’t have to. He has a funny and effective
way of explaining the data, showing the viewers if it was a good
study, how it compares to others and in which ways the information
may have been bias. But don’t be fooled, this is not his day job,
Dr. Greger is still a practicing physician, presents about numerous
public health issues and is the Director of Public Health and
Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United
States.
In this episode, we explore that question we hear so often, “But what about fish and eggs” and he shares some information to comfort the plant-based pregnant ladies out there. With his wit and charm, Dr. Greger has some messages for parents and anyone out there who wants to know How Not To Die.
We hope you enjoy the show!
