Greger's promotion of veganism has been criticized for including exaggerated claims of health benefits but if you're interested in learning a thing or two, you can join him.
According to what he posted on his Instagram page,
"As my speaking schedule starts to wind down, one of the things I’ll miss most is the audience participation. Questions help me gauge interest in particular subjects to better guide my choice of topics for new videos. Though thanks to modern technology, I now realize I can do Q&A with people around the world without having to leave my treadmill!
"So I’m going to be doing two live half-hour Q&A sessions on Tuesday, July 19th 2016:
•Facebook Live: At noon ET on 7/19 go to our Facebook page to watch live and ask questions.
•Twitter Periscope: At 7pm ET on 7/19 go to our Twitter page to watch live and ask even more questions!
"Looking forward to answering as many questions as I can—talk to you soon!"
