Why the Plant-Based Movement Is Stalling | Dr. Dean Sherzai

What if the biggest threat to plant-based health isn’t meat — but misinformation?

 

Dr. Dean Sherzai is calling for a revolution in how we advocate for vegan nutrition. Instead of relying on viral anecdotes or purity-based ideology, Sherzai makes a compelling case for data literacy, scientific integrity, and humility. He explains why dogma—even in the plant-based world—is hurting the movement and pushing people away.

 

Learn what it takes to rebuild trust and grow a movement that lasts. Whether you're plant-curious, evidence-minded, or just tired of online nutrition wars, this episode of The Exam Room podcast is a refreshing take on what it takes to push whole foods plant based nutrition forward.
