Should I go vegan if I have diabetes?

Wendy Lopez, Jessica Jones
About this episode

Veganism is one of those topics that comes up a lot when I’m working with clients. Some people swear it changed their life, while others try it for a while and realize it’s not for them.

In this episode, Wendy and Jessica tackle this question head-on: Should you go vegan if you have diabetes? In this episode, we'll dive into the research and share practical advice. When it comes to diabetes management, there are a few things to weigh, and it’s not as simple as “vegan equals healthy.”
