The Simply Vegan Podcast is bought to you by the UK’s only vegan magazine, Vegan Food & Living. Hosted by magazine editor Holly Johnson, join us on the first Thursday of each month as we chat to some of the inspirational people helping to grow the vegan movement – from chefs and influencers to athletes and doctors.

Today Holly is joined by sports presenter and ex-Lioness Karen Carney, who went vegan in 2018. Discover how injury led Karen to research anti-inflammatory eating, and the incredible impact going plant-based had on her recovery and performance.

Karen shares her thoughts on the rise of women's football, the increase in vegan athletes and how the vegan movement has changed since 2018. She also chats to us about her work with vegan cheese brand Violife to encourage more footballers to try eating plant-based.
