Vegan diet
Hi Peter, I’m interested in your perspective on the vegan diet. My adult daughters are vegan so I have an increased interest in this diet. In episode 134, your guest James O’Keefe mentioned that most vegans are protein deficient, among other things. They insist that the protein in their diet is sufficient. And they do eat chick peas, black beans, etc often and say vegetables have protein too. They do supplement their diet with vitamin B12. What are your thoughts?

Is early morning sauna use OK, or should it be avoided?
