Rip welcomes nutritionist, author, and podcaster, Simon Hill, to the podcast for an in-depth discussion of his new book, The Proof is in the Plants.
It's hard to imagine the life-long impact of seeing your own father have a heart attack, but Hill has taken that harrowing experience as a teenager and turned it into his mission-driven work to help save the lives of countless others.
Today, Simon is passionate about making nutritional information simple and accessible so that people can make informed decisions about the food they feed themselves and their families.
Inspired by the work of his father, he is also a walking encyclopedia on the research and science that proves beyond the kale that a plant-based diet can save your life –and the planet.
They discuss:
The Diet of Confusion - Why the food industry is set up against us
The progress we are making in governments around the world and the work that still needs to be done
Is chronic lifestyle disease simply "in our genes?" How much control do we really have with the cards we were dealt?
Simon's largest recommendation for better health - FIBER
Why is fiber so important to our health and gut microbiome?
Simon's top foods we should avoid
Recommendations for helping people make the shift in their own lives
The vast plant-proof research around - cancer, heart disease, and brain health
Research and studies on minerals and supplements like iodine and zinc
This conversation is jam-packed with all the proof you need because, as you’ll hear loud and clear, the proof is in the plants.
