Plant-Based Resources

This is a listing of some of the many incredible plant-based resources I have discovered over the years that have helped me gain so much knowledge regarding the most recent information in the fields of health/nutrition, the environment, and ways to transition to a plant-based diet. It can be difficult to sift through the seemingly contradictory information in the day to day media for what an optimal diet is. Some of the trusted and internationally-recognized experts of the leading edge science on nutrition are Michael Greger, MD, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Joel Fuhrman, MD. Their motivation appears to be sharing the truth and trying to help us all obtain the best information to date to not only minimize our chances of disease, but more importantly optimize our health.
