Episode 65: Why I'm no longer vegan: A new perspective on nutrition, questioning plant based narratives
This is a BIG episode! After 7 years of eating a plant-based diet, I have shifted out of this pattern of eating into a new era of food freedom. Over the past 6 months, I’ve made some big changes in how I eat and I am unpacking why in this episode. I cover physical, mental, and emotional aspects of veganism and eating animal products again. This episode isn’t about nutrition dogma, and I encourage you to listen with an open curious mind.
I discuss…
• All the details of my vegan journey • The things that went well for me on a vegan diet, and the things that didn’t • Starch solution, low fat eating, salt/oil/sugar free • Eating a WFPB diet • Healing from an eating disorder while being vegan • Can you be vegan and have food freedom? • Health symptoms I had at the end of my vegan journey • Why did I stop being vegan/plant based? • What my blood work looked like on a vegan diet • The difference between plant and animal nutrients • What was the first animal food I added back in? • The crazy dreams I was having • How my skin reacted to animal products like eggs • How my vegan paradigm crumbled and what I replaced it with • Blue zones • Cardiovascular health • Cancer • Blood sugar regulation • How I untangled ethical veganism • The spiritual case for eating meat • Confronting death again • Experts and books that taught me a new perspective • The health improvements I experienced after eating meat again • Tips to transition out of veganism more smoothly
