David, Alison, and Anita discuss the critical role of animal-based nutrition in brain health, particularly the risks of a plant-based diet leading to brain atrophy due to vitamin B12 deficiencies. They also explore the environmental impact of plant-based versus regenerative farming, debunking the myth that cows significantly contribute to climate change while highlighting the detrimental effects of industrial crop farming. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
