Should I Go Vegan?

People choose to ‘go vegan’ for a myriad of reasons, from animal welfare to environmentalism. But is veganism automatically healthier just because it's plant-based? What do people need to know before they make the whole food switch? On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with Dr. Dawn Mussallem, a longtime vegan and doctor of osteopathic medicine, about how a plant-based diet has helped both herself and her patients—and how it could help you.

Dr Dawn Mussallem is a gifted physician with a clear, concise and fact based approach to educating her patients (and the world) how each of us has the power to help prevent disease through diet. Food is indeed Medicine. We have an opportunity to partner with our physicians as an invested team member on our medical journeys. I am blessed to have Dr Dawn as my physician at the Mayo Clinic. She inspires and motivates me each time we meet! Thank you Dr Dawn.
