Episode 22: Will Going Vegan Ruin Your Health?

You’ve heard the stories… you know, the ones of people losing their hair or — more recently — their brain function, presumably because they were vegan. But is veganism really to blame for these health issues? Or are there other factors at play here? Alisha asks Muzammil Ahmad (Dr. Plant-Based), a medical student and host of the Plant Prescription Podcast, to unpack medical misconceptions and misinformation related to veganism and plant-based eating. Muzammil addresses Miley Cyrus’s recent comments about omegas, dissects the most popular myths about fish and eggs, and explains why it’s taking the medical community so long to actively recognize and promote the benefits of a plant-based diet.
