Is going vegan actually healthy or harmful? In this episode Dr. Pal explores the health, nutrition and ethical debates surrounding veganism and plant-based diets. From protein, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and Omega-3 to gut health and supplements, the conversation breaks down what people should consider before going vegan.

They discuss the realities of the meat, dairy and slaughterhouse industries, animal welfare, farming practices and whether choosing a vegan lifestyle can truly reduce animal suffering.
Can you get everything your body needs without meat and dairy? Is every vegan diet automatically healthy? And what should you know before making the switch? This conversation explores both the benefits and challenges of veganism to help you understand the bigger picture.
