This is a growing collection of websites, blogs, authors, books and podcasts that have inspired my journey in sustainability, veganism and health. I don’t necessarily agree with everything all of them say, but have found them all inspiring to varying degrees.

Organisations & Online Resources on Nutrition
Viva! Health A major non-profit resource on vegan health and nutrition for health professionals and the public.
If you eat a whole, plant-based diet that is diverse, colourful and based on fresh, seasonal ingredients you don’t need to worry so much about individual nutrients, as your body will pick most* of what it needs from the abundant natural sources. If you do want to read up any specific details however, here is a great A to Z of nutrients database.
*) You may want to take supplements for vitamins B12 and D, to be on the safe side.
