Mokyin ,

So informative!!

I’ve been vegan since 2006 and focused on a WFPB nutrition since 2011, I’ve been to numerous seminars, symposiums, conferences etc with many of the WFPB “giants” (Dr Barnard, Dr Esselstyn, Dr Campbell, Dr McDougall, etc) and your podcast episodes still deliver new information! I especially loved Dr Funk’s!
Thank you!

glimadoll ,
