Episode notes
A Childhood Moment Sparked Lifelong Choices
- Pia recounts becoming vegetarian at six after seeing a documentary about pig farming and later studying dietetics.
- Her plant-dominant diet evolved from ethics and education rather than a single conversion moment.
Supplement Smart When Going Plant-Based
- If you adopt a plant-based diet, supplement B12 and consider EPA/DHA and vitamin D based on status.
- Get health checks to spot deficiencies and only supplement targeted nutrients, not everything indiscriminately.
Traditional Diets Were Mostly Plant-Based
- Traditional Austrian cuisine was plant-dominant: pulses, potatoes and cabbage featured historically.
- Industrialization and changing availability shifted diets toward more animal products after the 1950s–60s.
