The Vegan and Omnivore Debate

The Vegan and Omnivore Debate
We're delving into a hot topic: Vegan vs Omnivore Diets. If you've ever wondered about the health outcomes, environmental impact, and the nitty-gritty scientific backing of each diet, this is an episode you don't want to miss. In this deep dive, I review and reflect on the new Netflix docuseries, "You Are What You Eat," about a nutrition study at Stanford University involving 22 sets of identical twins. The make a fairly compelling case for changing from an omnivore to vegan diet - or at least a more plant-based diet which relies far less on industrialized agriculture. As always, I invite you to keep an open mind and think critically. Note: Starting in February 2024, this podcast will be releasing new episodes on Wednesdays.

Or maybe because you think you've got to do it exactly right... that you really can't afford to make a mistake, so then you wind up doing nothing. Well, what we've got here is some overwhelm, with a dose of perfectionism, and maybe a hint of overthinking. All of these all keep us from taking consistent action, which is the key to getting the results you want. And they are all forms of all-or-nothing thinking. In this episode, I'm going to help you identify when all-or-nothing thinking is happening. Mind you, it can be really sneaky.
