Show Notes

The psychology of dietary preferences

Vegetarian and plant-based diets have well-established health benefits, but sticking to them can be challenging. In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal sit down with Dr. Catherine Forestell to discuss vegetarianism and how it relates to well-being. We also discuss the personality type that allows someone to stick with it long-term and why some people find this approach difficult to follow. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial
