A plant-based diet is ‘all the rave’ these days. It has been shown to prevent, treat and even reverse common conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, obesity and heart disease. Yes, those medications can go away or never prescribed at all!

This episode covers:
-The difference between vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based diets
