The Simply Vegan Podcast is bought to you by the UK’s only vegan magazine, Vegan Food & Living. Hosted by magazine editor Holly Johnson and NEW co-host Em-J for January 2024, join them every Thursday as they discuss the ups and downs of being vegan, the latest news and products and chat to some of the inspirational people helping to grow the vegan movement – from chefs and influencers to athletes and doctors.


In today's episode, Holly and Em-J share their tips for new vegans along with some easy meal inspiration, before diving into the topic of who makes the best vegan cheese and chocolate. They also discuss the latest research on the UK's most vegan-friendly cities, before debating the terms vegan versus plant-based. Which do you prefer?


In part 2 is our must-listen interview with best-selling author and renowned speaker on nutrition, Dr Michael Greger! Covering all aspects of longevity, Holly and Michael discuss the main drivers of ageing, whether creams and supplements actually work, which foods help prevent signs of wear and tear and what we can learn from Blue Zones around the world. Spoiler alert – a whole food, plant-based diet can help massively, but if you're already doing that, what does the latest science say about living well for longer?
