IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE...

Monica Hershaft brings an interesting perspective to the choices of living your life vegan, vegetarian or animal-centric.

She grew up in a vegetarian, then fully vegan family. Her father, Holocaust survivor Dr. Alex Hershaft, co-founded the modern animal rights movement in the U.S. more than 40 years ago.

She speaks to the ethical, moral and deeply traumatic reasons people choose veganism. Those points cannot be dismissed. Nor can the implications of a completely plant-based diet without animal protein on human health.

Monica shares her story of being an active, athletic teen and continuing veganism into adulthood. It was a trendy detox program at age 34 that triggered her rocky, decade-long health journey from debilitating sickness to finding health solutions.

“It didn't even occur to me as a child to think anything different because that's just how I was raised and that's how we ate,” she explains. “Eventually, when I did grow up and get sick, it took a while for me to even consider that it could be my diet. So, it was a very big pivot mentally to make that leap.”

She also wrestled with coming out as Paleo to her father and what discarding veganism meant for her family relationships. “I had to be willing to lose the relationship, to stand up for what my truth was,” she says. Healing her physical and mental health led the hard discussions: “I'm going to be eating animal protein at every single meal, because I believe that that's how I can keep my life and my health,” she recalls saying.

Monica’s now a bestselling author, motivational speaker, holistic health practitioner and nutritional consultant. She founded a top-rated holistic wellness center in Los Angeles and recently relocated to Scottsdale, AZ where she works 1:1 with patients to get their health back. She helps people heal from illness that other medical professionals often label a “mystery.”

You’ll gain valuable information from this conversation, such as:

  • how to assess your symptoms,
  • how to understand nervous system switching and blocking,
  • the important relationship between the vagus nerve and an allergic state,
  • food checklists to follow,
  • how to recognize harmful food propaganda,
  • why fungus and metals are the big thing (in vegetarians/vegans),
  • why animal welfare and good soil matters,
  • educational videos to watch,
  • programs to attend, and,
  • how to find help from functional, alternative and holistic professionals.
