Last week on the podcast we sat down with holistic health coach Molly McKenzie, who shared with us her experience being vegan and why she ultimately decided that it was no longer working for her body. Part of our discussion included changes she saw in her health once she added animal products back in, but what we didn't dive too deep into is why or how avoiding animal products affects the body in the first place. Are we getting all the right minerals and nutrients if we exclude animal products completely? Does our body need these foods to function properly? And what if you still want to be vegan but also want to make sure you're fully meeting your body's needs? In this health hotline, Liv goes SUPER in depth on this topic and breaks it down on a scientific level combined with patterns she's seen in her own nutritional therapy practice. This episode is for anyone who's wondering if/how animal products have a place in our diets and the best way to make sure your body is getting what it needs, regardless of what diet you may subscribe to. You may want to take notes for this one!! :)  Mentions:  Cymbiotika B12 supplement Zuma zinc supplement (DM Liv for discount code) Desiccated beef liver supplement Hair and tissue mineral analysis testing (recommended to work with a practitioner who runs these, DM Liv for connections) Intro & Outro Song: What Would You Do?
