health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes Leben

For eight weeks, identical twins change their diet and lifestyle to explore how certain foods affect our bodies.

This experiment is creating a lot of hype: NETFLIX has produced an exciting documentary based on it – „You are what you eat“ – and media, specialist magazines and online portals worldwide are reporting on the results of this experiment.

The result of the experiment: the twins who ate a purely plant-based diet had a longer life expectancy after just eight weeks, less visceral fat (fat stored in the abdominal cavity), a lower risk of heart disease and even a stronger sex drive.

Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team took a detailed look at the study behind the NETFLIX documentary – with astonishing findings.
