Glen Burrows was vegetarian for 25 years, but he claims returning to eating meat has dramatically improved his health.

At a time when we're being encouraged to incorporate more plant-based meals into our diet, it's unusual to hear of someone making the transition from vegetarian to meat-eater.

Glen Burrows converted to vegetarianism in 1989 after learning of practices he considered "abhorrent" in the meat industry which contributed to the BSE outbreak. But as the years wore on, he and his wife Andrea — a fellow vegetarian — felt that they were not as well as they should be.

Glen described their situation on Mornings: "[Andrea] was suffering from adrenal fatigue, her hormones were out of whack; I had auto-immune issues."



In a bid to feel better, Andrea followed an elimination diet, which led her to eating a paleo diet of high quality meat and vegetables. The result was extraordinary.
