EPISODE 54
The Honest Vegetarian
Are you a vegetarian yet still experiencing a lot of health problems?
Maybe your attraction to a specific ism — in this case vegetarianism — is driven by something other than the needs of your body, like a deep desire for connection, or Tribe; without really understanding all of the ramifications built upon this one decision you’ve made, you may be trading your health for social connection…
Are you really paying close attention to what your body is telling you it needs for sustenance? If you don’t know how, we can help you!
Paul delves into the pros and cons of vegetarianism with Matt Wallden – Naturpath, Osteopath and the CHEK Institute’s Global Head of Education – in this early excerpt from their new six-part audio series, The Honest Vegetarian, debuting later this month.
