Dr. Matthew Nagra on Vegan Advocacy, Nutrition Science, and Social Media
<p>From protein deficiencies to “you can’t be vegan” warnings, plant-based diets are surrounded by persistent myths. Dr. Matthew Nagra - a naturopathic doctor, nutrition science communicator, and vegan of more than 15 years - has spent years examining what the evidence actually shows.</p><p>In today's episode, Matthew shares how he first adopted a plant-based diet for health and athletic performance before becoming ethically motivated after watching Earthlings. He discusses facing pushback in naturopathic medical school, how that challenged him to study the research more deeply, and why he ultimately adopted a more objective approach that acknowledges healthy animal-food dietary patterns are possible, though not necessary.</p><p>We also explore medical ketogenic diets for intractable epilepsy, protein requirements and sources, the limitations of raw diets, common nutrient concerns such as protein, iron, and calcium, the uncertainty surrounding vitamin D recommendations, the claims behind “I was told I can’t be vegan,” and practical advice for effective activism, including consistency, diverse approaches, and avoiding perfectionism on social media.</p><p>Thank you for following along and listening to the Vegan Squad Pod!

<p>Looking to improve your vegan activism? Join us as we discuss effective vegan activism with vegan activist & Vegan Squad Coaching client Sergio Pinedo!

Exploring Vegan Activism with Juliet, Founder of Viva!, the UK’s Largest Vegan Charity
<p>Today we interview Juliet, founder of Viva! Charity, the UK’s largest vegan campaigning organization! Juliet shares about her mission to make the world vegan and Viva!’s four pillars: animal investigations, health, environment, and helping people change through resources like the free Vegan Recipe Club. Juliet recounts Viva!’s Hogwood investigation of a UK mega pig farm, including the horrific conditions found, the team's rescue of a sow and piglets, a cinema ad Viva! created contrasting sanctuary life with factory farming, and sustained supporter actions that led Tesco to stop selling from Hogwood and the farm becoming financially unviable and slated for demolition. She shares her early activism, going vegetarian at 13 and vegan at about 28, her work with the UK Vegetarian Society before founding Viva! in 1994, and lessons from filming a pig slaughterhouse and speaking with slaughterhouse workers. Our discussion emphasizes meeting people where they are, the power of public opinion, politics, outreach, and individual influence through everyday conversations and purchasing choices! We hope you enjoy this amazing episode & are inspired to start speaking up for animals yourself!</p><p></p><p>Learn more about Viva! here: <a href="https://viva.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viva.org.uk/</a></p><p></p><p>If you’d like to gain lifetime free access to the Vegan Squad Online Community, learn more here: <a href="https://vegansquadcoaching.com/community" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vegansquadcoaching.com/community</a></p><p></p><p>Stay connected with us on Instagram!</p><p>🌱 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vegansquadcoaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/vegansquadcoaching</a></p><p>🌱 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivacharity/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/vivacharity/</a></p><p>🌱 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebodybuildingvegan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thebodybuildingvegan</a></p><p>🌱 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yourveganmentor1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/yourveganmentor1/</a></p><p></p><p>Subscribe to our YouTube!</p><p>🌱 <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLicwcmwS5XiBpECwyLcI93Vix0BC5Mq4k&si=A3Dy90FX7PCahdB4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Find LIVE recordings of our episodes!</a></p><p></p><p>Book a free consult call to unlock your vegan potential with the support of an expert Vegan Squad Coach!</p><p>👉 <a href="https://vegansquadcoaching.com/apply" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vegansquadcoaching.com/apply</a></p><p></p><p>Check out our free resources!</p><p>👉 <a href="https://vegansquadcoaching.com/resources" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vegansquadcoaching.com/resources</a></p>
