In this conversation we discuss:

- Comparing the US and Canadian dietary guidelines and how the democratic process can influence national healthcare guidelines, for better and for worse.

- Tips on what to consider with your social circles when going plant-based.

- The Functional Medicine perspective on emphasizing plant-based dietary approaches.

- The common denominators of the healthiest dietary approaches.

- Best practices to consider when transitioning into a plant-based lifestyle

- Dr. Redwood’s favourite plant-based foods and medicines.
