Finding Your DNA Plant-Based Diet Type with Vojo Health and Vegan Powah, Episode 23

<p>Eating more plants is the best thing we can do for our health.&nbsp;But it's not as basic as getting all the nutrition we need from fruits and veggies. There is no one-size-fits-all plant-based diet. My guests Ellie Busby (Vojo Health) and Bradley Jafir (Vegan Powah) join me in this episode to discuss the complex factors of nutrition and living a plant-based lifestyle according to our own individual genetic needs.&nbsp;</p> <p>About my guests:</p> <p>Ellie Busby of <a href="https://vojo.health">Vojo Health</a>: Ellie went plant-based in 2011 after living in a Buddhist monastery. For the first few years everything was great. But 5 years in, her health started falling apart.</p> <p>Ellie was doing everything “right”. But it wasn’t working. She was fatigued, had brain fog, and her hair was falling out. She was suffering from joint pain, running injuries and struggling more than ever with weight fluctuations. She realised she had a choice – give up, or make it work. Well, she’s too stubborn to give up. So she went back to university to research precision nutrition.</p> <p>What she discovered was mind-blowing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ellie researched how genetics affect our health, and analysed her own and her family’s genes. Her genes explained everything – from weight and health struggles to diabetes and dementia in her family.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vojo was founded by Ellie Busby, a published scientist and nutritionist (MSc) in the UK registered with the British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT, CMA approved). She’s been plant-based for 10 years, founded a vegan restaurant in 2014, and founded Vojo as a solo female founder in 2020.</p> <p>Bradley Jafir of <a href="https://veganpowah.com">Vegan Powah</a>:&nbsp;</p> <p>Vegan Powah is a supplement that provides vegans with nutrients that are hard to find or absent on a vegan diet.
