Kale and polish: advice from a plant-based dentist, with Dr Keval Shah

This week in the Nutshell we have a real first for you - a plant-based dentist, Dr Keval Shah.  In this fascinating discussion we covered all sorts of topics related to the health of teeth and gums, including whether fruit is bad for our teeth and how our oral microbiome and dental health may affect our overall health. But there is so much more to this episode than a reminder to floss! Keval is a passionate climate and vegan activist and we had a really inspiring discussion about how we can extend compassion to all on this planet - human and non-human animals alike, and how our actions make a difference to the climate crises including some tips on ethical investing! We delved into why Keval rescues farm animals, volunteers in animal sanctuaries, and spends his holidays providing free dental care to the people of Sierra Leone.  Don't miss this one if you want to be truly inspired by this remarkable and compassionate human being.  To connect with Keval, and check out his podcast:  https://www.kevalashah.com/s-projects-side-by-side And if you haven't already, health professionals please add your signature to https://plantsfirsthealthcare.com/
