This is beyond helpful. Having been Whole Foods plant based for the past 5 1/2 years I think you touched on just about every critical aspect that someone would need to know moving forward. Thank you.

Good morning Dr Marbas, could you please talk about getting off anti-acid drugs and dealing with acid reflux with diet? Thank you

This was very helpful! I liked it a lot. I worry what people think probably too much. I liked the comments you shared about that. I think that could be my biggest hold up in going in 100% right now. But I can do it! I had a quick question about choline. I’ve heard that it can be hard to get adequate amounts of this nutrient on a plant based diet. Especially during pregnancy. Is this true? Should that be supplemented during pregnancy or when not pregnant too?

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

Ah, choline-such an important nutrient, and yes, it’s worth discussing, especially for those on a plant-based diet. Choline is essential for brain health, liver function, and even building a healthy nervous system. During pregnancy, it plays a critical role in the baby's brain and spinal cord development. While plant-based sources of choline exist-like soybeans, broccoli, quinoa, peanuts, and even beans-it can still be a challenge to meet the recommended daily intake, especially the higher needs during pregnancy (450 mg/day). For many, this is where a thoughtful supplement like phosphatidylcholine can come in handy. It’s the preferred form to avoid potential TMAO production, which has been linked to some health concerns. I also love recommending a high-quality plant-based multi, like Complement Essential + For Her, which helps fill in those tricky nutritional gaps without overloading you with things you don’t need. lovecomplement.com?aff=62

I saw image of a large swine in the slaughter house at my job in 2009 and that changed everything. Visiting family back in 2011-2016, they ate at Ihop every month and I always ordered salad with italian dressing, french fries, oatmeal with fruit, grits with salt and pepper, toast and jelly, bagel with with jelly. Over these years I discovered it is best to prepare the most scrumptious vegan wfpb dish and unless anyone asks for the recipe, no reason to state the ingredients. I shockingly discovered that not one person that I knew before wanted to understand the changes I made and when I shared new information, they said stop it, most while mocking the changes. Even my father diagnosed with stage 2 Non Hodgkin's last June did not have any interest in changing lifestyle or diet and gave back the healthy cookbook and foods. It is really sad, the conditioning of humanity.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, we are in a sad state of affairs but can only continue to be the light. :)
