About this episode
In Episode 82 I return from a small break and record the first 'solo' episode of the Plant Proof Podcast. Yes, that's right, the first episode without a guest. Just you and me.

In this episode I cover:

  • Why I took a short break from the podcast
  • The first iteration of a new direction for the show
  • My time in Bali
  • Sydney's newest plant based restaurant Eden Bondi
  • The recent media headlines about vegans needing to be careful about choline deficiency and headlines about vegetarians and stroke risk. For both of these I walk through what was reported and what the science actually says.

This slightly new format which is something I intend to do between every guest episode going forward.

Full blog I wrote on Choline with references can be read here: Should vegans be worried about Choline deficiency and brain health?
