Veganism and immunity, with Despina Marselou
News and reviews: Holly and Molly chat about the upcoming Animal Rebellion march in London and their feelings about activism, and the news that a pro cyclist improved his iron levels by 77% when trialling a plant-based diet. They also review vegan burgers and sausages from Beyond Meat and a new plant-based meat range from Dopsu for those late summer BBQs. They round off by discussing difficulties with non-vegan kids and share tips for feeling full for longer on a plant-based diet. The interview: Despina Marselou is a dietitian and nutritionist who specialises in clinical nutrition and immunology. She cured her own chronic illness with a whole food plant-based diet and now spends her life helping others do the same. She talks about the importance of gut health, shares tips for switching slowly and discusses how a plant-based diet can help autoimmune disease, long Covid, IBS and many other chronic illnesses.
