Why What I Learned Studying Nutrition Is So Important, I Am Sharing It with Everyone

These are people who followed the advice they were given." Listen to today's episode by Sally Malanga at Main Street Vegan Academy

After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Spurred Me to Go Plant-Based, I Feel Like the Energizer Bunny

When I asked what would happen if I didn't take the drugs, they said most likely I'd be bed-ridden and in lots of pain within 12 to 18 months. It was a grim picture either way. Of course, I chose to take the drugs. I also underwent radiation for cancer in my ribs and prostate. Listen to the success story written by Michael Andrus at...

Do Brain Supplements Work? Sorting The Evidence From The Marketing

"For most healthy adults, brain supplements don't work. Nootropics like ginkgo biloba and lion's mane have failed to show meaningful cognitive benefit in rigorous trials. Supplements do earn their place in one situation: correcting a genuine nutrient deficiency, such as low vitamin B12 or vitamin D. Beyond that, the effect sizes are small, and sleep, movement and food do far more."

Low-Carb Plant-Based Diet – What To Eat?

Evidence-Based Nutrition Delivers Hope Worldwide

Animal Liberation Is Part of the Social Justice Tapestry

To recognize animal exploitation as a justice issue is to confront our own participation in it. Veganism asks that we examine every day what we eat, buy, wear, and normalize. These changes reach into our habits and social relationships, forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about our behaviors and practices. At the same time, this is precisely what makes it so powerful, because individuals are inspired to create meaningful change through everyday actions.

The Quiet Acceleration Toward a Plant-Powered Planet

"Social change often feels glacial, incremental, fragile, and at risk of slipping backward. History shows that transformation rarely moves in a straight line. Instead, it unfolds in waves, from slow adoption to steady accumulation, and then, suddenly, acceleration. Small shifts compound until they push entire systems past a tipping point. Today, as we confront converging ecological and social crises, the question is no longer whether change is possible, but when it will begin to cascade."

Rethinking Easter: Choosing Lentils Instead Of Lamb

Easter is a time of celebration, family gatherings, and feasting. Traditionally, roast lamb has been the centrepiece of many Easter meals, symbolising renewal and sacrifice. However, as we become more aware of the health, environmental, and ethical implications of our dietary choices, it's worth considering a delicious and nutritious alternative: lentils. These tiny, nutrient-packed legumes offer a delicious, sustainable, and compassionate alternative to lamb, aligning with modern values of health-consciousness and environmental responsibility.

5 Lies We're Told As Children About Animals

"When we're little, we're taught to love animals – we sleep with stuffed cows, watch movies about brave pigs and loyal dogs, and cry when the baby deer loses their mother. But somewhere along the way, we're also taught something else: to look away. To silence that compassionate voice within us. Here are five of the biggest lies we're told as children about animals, and how they shape the way we see the world." Written by Elle Flemming at VeganFTA.com

At 28 Years Old, I Was on Nearly 10 Medications. Then I Changed My Diet

Today, I've been free of these diagnoses—and off all medications—for more than five years.
