Thinking about a vegan diet or already eating plant-based? Good. It can be healthy, but only if you plan it. This tag gathers clear, useful posts on nutrition, supplements, herbs, and how diet can affect things like fertility or prescription meds.
Some nutrients are harder to get from plants. Keep an eye on vitamin B12, vitamin D, omega-3s, iron, calcium, and iodine. B12 is the most important — it’s not reliably found in plant foods, so a daily B12 supplement or fortified foods are smart. For omega-3s, algae oil gives EPA/DHA without fish. Eat iron-rich foods (lentils, tofu, spinach) with vitamin C to boost absorption. If you avoid fortified milk, use fortified plant milks or take a calcium supplement. Simple checks like a yearly blood test will show if you need extra support.
Protein worries are overblown. Mix beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, nuts, and whole grains across the day and you’ll meet your needs. If you travel or are very active, a pea or rice protein powder is an easy top-up.
Supplements can fill gaps, but choose wisely. B12, vitamin D in winter, algae omega-3, and iron only if your doctor says so are the core ones. Some herbal supplements — like rhodiola or wild lettuce — show promise for stress and sleep, but they can interact with prescription meds. Read the label, check for third-party testing, and ask your prescriber about interactions.
If you’re tracking fertility while vegan, diet can help but it’s not a magic fix. Our article on natural ways to increase ovulation covers diet, lifestyle, and supplements that support ovulation without clomiphene. Small changes — balanced meals, healthy fats, stable blood sugar, and the right micronutrients — often add up.

As a vegan, I've found that acid indigestion can still be an issue even with a plant-based diet. It's essential to know which foods might trigger acid indigestion, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, and spicy dishes. I've also discovered that eating smaller meals and avoiding lying down soon after eating can help prevent acid reflux. Drinking plenty of water and incorporating natural remedies like ginger and chamomile tea can also offer relief. Overall, being mindful of the foods we consume and adopting healthy eating habits can significantly reduce acid indigestion in a vegan diet.
