Why I Stopped Eating Vegetables (and What Happened)

January 20, 2025

For years we've been told to eat our vegetables. But what if that advice is wrong? In this video, I break down the research on plant antinutrients (oxalates, lectins, phytates, and goitrogens) and explain why removing vegetables from my diet improved my health. This isn't about being contrarian. It's about following the evidence wherever it leads and questioning nutritional dogma that's never been properly tested.
