In this eye-opening episode of Health Wealth, host Ryan Douglas sits down with James Leman to explore his tumultuous health journey. After six years on a vegan diet, James began experiencing significant health issues, prompting him to share his story in hopes of preventing others from facing similar challenges. Growing up in Bermuda, James witnessed a shift from traditional home-cooked meals to processed foods, and his mother’s vegetarian diet introduced him to alternative eating habits. However, despite his dedication to a healthy vegan lifestyle, James encountered alarming symptoms like weight gain, fainting spells, and chronic stress. His story underscores the critical importance of reevaluating widely accepted dietary practices and understanding their long-term impacts on health.
James and Ryan delve into the complexities and potential pitfalls of veganism, shedding light on the often-overlooked health risks associated with this diet. Despite initial improvements, James and his partner, a plant-based chef, found themselves facing severe health issues, including significant weight loss, memory loss, headaches, and even bleeding from the bowels. The discussion highlights the dangers of blindly following dietary fads and the necessity of questioning adverse health effects. James's journey led him to discover Dr. Chaffee’s research on the toxicities and malnutrition in vegan diets, and Sally K. Norton’s insights on oxalate overconsumption. Together, James and Ryan emphasise the importance of individualised dietary adjustments, the benefits of animal protein, and the need for a gradual, well-researched approach to dietary changes for optimal health.
Enjoy the show.
