About this listen
Our health is in crisis and so is our climate.
What if there was a way of eating that may help us live healthier for longer and protect the future of our planet, too?
The good news is that evidence now shows a plant-based diet may offer us exactly that - and straight-talking nutritionist Simon Hill has done the hard work translating the science into actionable advice for everyday life.
Before transitioning to a plant-based diet, Simon held many of the common misconceptions. But instead he experienced incredible improvements in his energy levels, digestion, mental clarity and post-workout recovery after making the shift. He’d finally understood the power of food and was determined to find out - and share - the agenda-free truth about the optimum diet for human health.
By undertaking a master’s degree in nutrition, poring over the latest scientific papers and books and producing hundreds of hours of his internationally successful Plant Proof podcast, Simon has pursued the answers to all the questions he had about fuelling our bodies with more plants. Now, in his first book, he brings it all together into one inspiring and practical guide.
It covers:
- The reasons why we’re all so confused about what to eat.
- The evidence showing how a plant-based diet might reduce risks of heart attacks and strokes, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dementia.
- The positive impact of plant-based living for the climate and animal welfare.
- Common myths about a plant-based diet - and what the real facts are.
- How to build a healthy, satisfying plant-based plate, from macronutrients to micronutrients.
- Practical tips for making the shift, and much more.
If you want to understand and unlock the many benefits of putting more plants on your plate, this book is for you.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Brilliant and full of research
This is a really great book. I love the way everything is backed up with loads of research and statistics so it’s not just someone spouting their opinion. Even though it’s very in depth at times, it’s presented in such a way that feels easy to follow and understand. The main thing I appreciate though is how non judgmental Simon is. He encourages you to make healthy choices but seems far more realistic about accepting that we sometimes will eat some less than ideal food, because that’s just life!
Really excellent narration, superb content, and the pdf download is well presented too.

Brilliant breakdown of known science
I have listened to Simon’s podcast from episode one so was eagerly waiting this book.
I was not disappointed.
Having bought the hardback copy but not finished was super excited to get this.
Listening to Simon explain all the relevant facts in a totally non judgemental way was a dream. He breaks down all the jargon into such understandable chunks.
If you are thinking of a plantbased lifestyle this is a brilliant health related book to start with.
All the nutrition is beautifully explained. Will definitely listen again making highlights in the physical copy next time.
Stunningly well written and narrated book. Simons’s gentle Australian accent is lovely to listen to

Comprehensive yet concise and critical
Inclusion of planet's health marks this one out among other books in the same genre. The chapter on essential micronutrients is also unique.

Compelling
This is clearly a well researched and scientifically backed piece of work. It is yet more proof that my new plant based lifestyle is the right choice for the planet, the animals and myself. I can't really believe it took so long for the penny to drop, but drop it has.
