THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: This is a dynamic conversation with Gena Hamshaw. It is lively, interactive and filled with great information on vegan and plant-based diets. Gena’s formula “Grain, Bean, Green” provides an easy to follow blueprint to use when you stand in front of your refrigerator and ask yourself, “What’s for dinner tonight?”. She uses accessible foods in her recipes and keeps them simple. I particularly like that she bases her dietary information on up to date scientific studies. This is a podcast I will listen to again.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I really enjoyed our conversation as we discussed the health, ecological, and spiritual reasons to eat more meatless meals, as well as some of the barriers some people find to eating a more plant-based diet.. Her formula of including a grain, a green vegetable, and a bean to make easy, delicious meals is really helpful. Our discussion of how we get can enough protein in a vegetarian diet, the benefits of fiber, and even the controversy about seed oils and the evolving nature of scientific research on nutrition was a rich one, and will be valuable to listeners.
