Can Vegans Get Heart Disease?
Yesterday, my mom had a stent put in her heart to fix an 80-90% blockage in one of her arteries after eating a mostly healthy Mediterranean Diet most of her life. She’s doing ok now and should be able to go home today. I also found out yesterday that my cholesterol and triglycerides are still high, even after 2 years of eating a whole-foods plant-based no-oil (WFPBNO) diet…well mostly. More on that below. My mom’s heart disease and my horrible cardiovascular numbers have left me wondering, can vegans get heart disease?
My Diet, My Choice. Right?
“It’s my diet, it’s my choice” is a common response I hear when encouraging people to eat a healthy, plant-based diet. Eating meat may be your choice, but it has far reaching consequences for everyone else, which raises the question, is eating meat really a personal choice?
Before we tackle this question, let’s first look at how dietary choices affect everyone through the cost and quality of healthcare, as well as the environmental destruction that results from animal-based diets….
MeatLESS Book Review
“MEATLESS: Transform the Way You Eat and Live – One Meal at a Time” by Kristie Middleton, Senior Director of Food Policy for the Humane Society of the United States, is a fantastic book to help you get started on your meat-less journey.

What the Health Documentary Review
Yesterday, Amelia and I watched “What the Health” from the creators of “Cowspiracy.” Much like Cowspiracy and the other documentaries we’ve watched, it was infuriating. The level of corruption between the food industry, the government, hospitals, doctors, health associations and pharmaceutical companies is truly mind boggling. They’re unapologetically working together to keep us just sick […]
Where do you get your B12?
When someone asks you, “Where do you get your B12?”, here’s what you can tell them. We used to get our B12 from the microbes present in streams and other fresh water sources, as well as from dirt and feces on plant-based foods. Now that we chlorinate our drinking water and sanitize our foods, it kills […]
The Vegetarian Myth Debunked
A paleo friend suggested I read “The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability” for an alternative perspective to the vegan/vegetarian diet. The book was written by someone who was vegan for 20 years, but decided to start eating animal products again for a variety of reasons. Our friend was genuinely concerned about our health, and […]

Vegan Diet and Erectile Dysfunction
Back in 2015, I started having issues in the ED department. That’s not something any man (or the woman he’s with) ever wants to experience. In my case, it was caused by a shattered disc in my neck and three ruptured discs in my lower back, but for many men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, instead […]
