ASTR Diet vs. Vegetarian Diet: Which Supports Long-Term Healing Better?

As chronic illness becomes more common, more people are turning to food as medicine. The ASTR Diet, developed by Dr Joseph Jacobs, is a science-based protocol that targets inflammation, toxin overload, and nutrient imbalances. While the Vegetarian Diet promotes plant-based eating, it may fall short in supporting long-term healing without careful planning. Here’s how they compare:
