In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Martien Limburg, a leading vascular epidemiologist, to explore the profound impact of lifestyle on our health. Martien shares his personal journey from conventional medicine to discovering the life-changing benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. He explains how this shift helped him shed excess weight, lower his cholesterol, and even come off statins. With his expertise, we dive into why a plant-based diet isn’t just a trend, but a powerful tool for disease prevention.

Martien debunks popular diet myths, including the rise of keto and carnivore diets, and explains why they may provide short-term results but could shorten your lifespan in the long run. We also discuss the common misconceptions that vegans don’t get enough vitamin B12 or protein, with Dr. Limburg explaining why supplementing directly is often the smarter choice for everyone. He also highlights the connection between lifestyle choices, nutrition, and cognitive health, emphasising how dementia prevention starts with what’s on our plates.

Finally, Martien tackles the stereotypes surrounding veganism, exploring why plant-based living often carries negative connotations and why American vegans tend to be healthier than their British counterparts. His insights build a strong case for adopting a balanced, thoughtful approach to plant-based nutrition, and will leave you feeling empowered to make positive lifestyle changes.

In this episode, we are joined by Adam Guthrie, who shares his inspiring journey from an unhealthy lifestyle to vibrant health and happiness, emphasising the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet.

Adam recounts his life before his heart attack, describing his sedentary lifestyle and reliance on junk food to cope with stress.
