In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Matthew Nagra to discuss misconceptions about vegan diets and the relationship between various foods and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Nagra is a Naturopathic Doctor dedicated to providing the latest evidence-based nutrition information to his patients and students. His clinical practice is based in Vancouver, BC. In 2018, he graduated from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine after having completed a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology at the University of Victoria. Beyond his medical training, he is certified in plant-based nutrition through Cornell University and has written articles for Dr. T Colin Campbell’s Center for Nutrition Studies.
