For years, we've been told that vegan and vegetarian diets "require careful planning" to be healthy — while omnivorous diets get a free pass. But is that really true?

In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll sits down with Dr. Matt Nagra to discuss his new peer-reviewed study published in the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention: "Asymmetrical Dietary Guidance: Reassessing the 'Careful Planning' Caveat in Vegetarian and Vegan Diets."

You'll also hear why some vegans experience a slightly higher fracture risk, what's really behind that finding, and how simple nutrition strategies can easily close the gap.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

  • What new research reveals about vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets
  • How omnivorous diets often miss critical nutrients for long-term health
  • The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium in plant-based nutrition
  • Why all diets require thoughtful planning to meet nutrient needs
  • The real reason vegans may have a higher fracture risk — and how to prevent it
  • How language in nutrition guidelines may unintentionally stigmatize plant-based diets

Listen and learn how balanced nutrition guidance can improve health outcomes for everyone — and why reframing the conversation around "careful planning" could change the future of public health.
