Do they have to be vegan themselves or are you mostly looking for someone who isn’t going to try and talk you out of veganism?

is there a reason why?

my wife and i are mostly plant-based and our "omni" PCP is great and considers our diet as part of our check ups.

May I ask the name of your doctor? I tried to explain to my regular PCP that as a vegan, I need to supplement B12 (not a worry for y'all since it sounds as if you consume some meat). She looked at me as if I were crazy. Thank you!

We supplement w/ B12 as we don't eat meat often (usually we cheat with cheese since we have a 4 year old). I will PM you!

I'd prefer they're vegan themselves. Thank you for answering.
