The Plant Based MD Dr. Judy Brangman

Are you considering adopting a plant-based or vegan diet but feeling unsure about meeting all your nutritional needs? This topic sparks a lot of curiosity and concern among individuals transitioning to plant-forward eating. But worry no more because today I'm going to talk about the essential vitamins and nutrients on a plant-based diet.  


In this episode, I break down the importance of Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty acids, Calcium and Iron. As someone who has been plant-based for many years, I understand the importance of ensuring you get all the necessary vitamins for optimal health. Vitamin B12, crucial for vegans, requires supplementation and regular blood tests to monitor levels. Similarly, Vitamin D and Omega-3s can be obtained through supplements or fortified foods, especially for individuals with limited sun exposure or specific dietary restrictions. 


Remember, with proper attention to these nutrients, a plant-based diet can be both nutritious and fulfilling. Tune in now to my podcast for more insightful discussions on plant-based nutrition and wellness!
