Clean & Green Living


Jun 15, 2021

We live in a world where we are bombarded with fad diets and food recommendations that, quite frankly, lack the science to back them up. Every diet claims to be the “best” and the healthiest, and it’s impossible as consumers not to be overwhelmed and confused. 

 

Today’s guest, Simon Hill, is a master at breaking down that confusion. Simon is a nutritionist, physiotherapist, and the host of the top-rated Podcast, Plant Proof. On the show, he interviews doctors, athletes, climate change experts, and other people who are all united by a shared passion for a plant-based lifestyle. What I appreciate about Simon is his commitment to sharing evidence-based nutrition advice that is easily digestible to anyone, science background or not.  

 

In his new book, The Proof is in The Plants, Simon clears up the confusion around what we should be eating by providing unbiased, agenda-free scientific data. Most importantly, he shares the practical steps we can take to make better food choices for our health and the health of the planet.  

 

About Simon

Simon Hill is a Physiotherapist and Nutritionist who is passionate about making nutritional information simple and accessible so that people can make informed decisions about the food they feed themselves and their families. In 2008, Simon completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and immediately began working as a Sports Physiotherapist in Melbourne both at a leading private practice and with professional AFL & VFL footballers. 

 

Over the years, however, Simon became increasingly curious about the role nutrition played in nourishing the body and preventing disease. By using his research skills developed during his honours degree, Simon dove deep into the available literature on nutrition & disease and soon became fascinated by the vast evidence out there that proved that simple lifestyle changes could help people prevent and sometimes even reverse many of the leading chronic diseases that plague the western world today. Concerned with the fact that this information was not reaching people but was instead getting lost amidst the myriad of marketing ploys pushed by industries that were more interested in profits than the health and general well-being of the public, Simon shifted gears in his career undertaking a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate and a Masters in Nutrition. 

 

During this time, he set up plantproof.com and began hosting world-renowned doctors and public figures, such as Neurologist's Dean & Ayesha Sherzai, MD, Dr Will Bulsiewicz, MD, Dr David Katz, MD, Environmental Researcher Nicholas Carter, Climate Scientist Dr. Jonathon Foley and Ultra-Athlete Rich Roll on the Plant Proof podcast. 

 

Over the course of the past decade, Simon’s mission has become clearer and clearer. Most of the time nutrition is spoken about in isolation from other major world issues, despite an enormous degree of interconnectedness. Just as our food system is a human health issue it is also a human and animal rights issue. Just as climate change is a planetary health issue, it is a human rights issue. 

 

Through the Plant Proof channels, Simon’s hope is that more of us will work together to create a more equitable, beautiful, and peaceful world. Something we are proud of today, and something future generations continue to enjoy. And this starts with becoming more connected, more informed, more mindful, and more conscious.
