“This is an instructor who knows their stuff. I always think about making my diet more plant-based, for ethical reasons, but am worried that I won’t get the nutrients I need (I become iron deficient easily). I am going to try out his suggestions as he shows you exactly how to get what you need from plants in your diet!”
