Chris Masterjohn, PhD. makes an excellent job at making complex science understandable by masses. He joined me in this episode to bring to you the best vegan specific nutrition advice so you can thrive!
Vitamins and Minerals  101 is a comprehensive course about vitamins and minerals that anybody  can benefit from. If you are new to nutrition, this course will educate  you in a funny and easy to understand way about how to spot vitamin  deficiences, how to correct and prevent them on any kind of diet. Chris  also educates you about special conditions and interactions of various  vitamins and minerals and special considerations for example if you are a  vegan or pregnant.
In this episode we cover:
Chris' background and why vegan diet did not work for him
connection of vegan diet and other factors on mental disorders, specifically anxiety
We talk about zinc, which is a mineral that especially vegans can get deficient in and how to troubleshoot it. It might be the mineral that prevents you from building muscle even if you get enough protein!
I speculate that ketogenic diet might hinder your ability to learn new things.
Then we talk about Omega 3s. Do vegans and also general population need to supplement it?
And we finish by talking about joint supplements for athletes.
