General Vegan Health Resources:
The vegan health resources I have found most helpful are John Rose, Loren Lockman, Markus Rothkranz, Andrew Perlot, Michael Arnstein, Buddy "The Coconut Boy", and Dr. Robert Morse. As always, listen to your body.

There is no one vegan diet just as there is on one carnivore or omnivore diet. Some people in some circumstances might have to eat some animals to survive if they do not have access to high quality tree ripened fruits and certain plant foods. This does not mean that humans could not thrive without eating animals if they lived closer to the equator and quality plant foods. The further one lives away from the equator and the natural tropical habitat for humans, the more compromises must be made and the more most people need to try to simulate their natural habitat by wearing more clothes and taking saunas.
The most important thing is to listen to how one's own body reacts to each individual food and adjust accordingly.

Ancestral Diet and the Christian history of Veganism:
The true "ancestral diet" is raw vegan mostly fruitarian, not carnivore or omnivore as most supposedly "ancestral diet" promoters claim. Look up how God created humans to eat certain plants only and fruits mostly in the beginning as recorded in the Bible. It was not until after the Flood of Noah that God allowed humans to also eat animals to survive since the Flood wiped out the fruit trees and shifted the Earth's climate colder causing less available surface area warm enough to grow fruit trees. The Earth's climate has been returning to a warmer climate since the Flood. Humans and fruit trees were made for each other.

So humans were designed to cultivate fruits to keep them high in sugar and fat as they used to be before the Flood of Noah wiped them out. Humans have been cultivating high sugar and fat fruit for thousands of years with some examples of grape juice, wine, and olive oil as recorded in the Bible, paintings, and other ancient records and artifacts. Recent cultivations are merely restoring more fruit to their former high sugar and fat content.

More Christian History of Ancestral Veganism and the Corruption and Restoration of Creation. Part 2:
The Bible seems to be talking about the spiritual aspects of eating animals not health effects. The Bible also says God originally created people to eat certain plants and only after the flood of Noah were we allowed to eat animals too. Then God restricted which animals we were allowed to eat when He gave Moses the law and commandments. It wasn't until after Jesus ascended that God told Peter and the other apostles that we were once again allowed to eat all animals without sinning against God.
The Bible also says some God fearing people abstained from animal foods at some times in their lives. Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Hebrew names Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah) refused to eat the Babylonian king's meat and ate only plant foods for 10 days after which they were judged to have a healthier appearance than their peers. People who took the Nazarite Vow, of whom Samson was the most notable example, seemed to also abstain from meat since they vowed not to touch a dead carcass during their vow.
The Bible also says all people and animals will no longer eat animals or people when Jesus returns and restores the Earth.
So yes, we are spiritually allowed to eat meat, but health wise we might not benefit from it and God did not design humans to eat animals originally nor will He allow it once He returns again.

More Christian History of Ancestral Veganism and the Corruption and Restoration of Creation. Part 3:
In the beginning, the world was without sin and suffering and God told humans and animals to eat certain plants only. God placed the first two humans, Adam and Eve, into the Garden of Eden. In the garden, there were many plants, but the most relevant plants were the Tree of Life (ToL) and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (ToKoGaE). God said humans would die if they ate from the ToKoGaE but that humans would live forever if they did not disobey God, by eating from the ToKoGaE, and if they ate from the ToL.
Adam and Eve sinned the first human sin by disobeying God and eating from the ToKoGaE. This original sin and fall from innocence caused the rest of creation to be cursed and to also fall causing suffering to first begin on Earth and in creation.
The ground was cursed causing edible plants to not be as readily available without increased labor from man to produce it.
God banished humans from the Garden of Eden and the ToL.
For hundreds of years, humans still ate only certain plants, but they began sacrificing animals to God as payment for their sins.
These sacrifices of animals were actually precursors to the true sacrifice for sins that would come later in the form of Jesus Christ.
Due to rampant violence and corruption across the Earth, God flooded the Earth with water while sparing Noah's family and some animals.
After the flood, God allowed people to eat all animals for unspecified reasons. One theory is that the flood destroyed most of the readily available edible plants and shifted the climate of the Earth from warm to cold causing a significant reduction in available warm land area to grow these plants in.
Later, God told Moses to restrict the animals we were allowed to eat without sinning against God.
Still later, Jesus came, died on the cross to pay for our sins, rose from the grave and defeated death, and ascended to heaven to prepare a place for us.
After Jesus ascended to heaven, God told Peter and the Apostles that humans were now allowed to once again eat all animals without sinning against God.
The Bible says that Jesus will return to restore the Earth from it's cursed and fallen state and will no longer allow humans and animals to eat animals and humans.
So God allows humans to eat animals for survival in this fallen world without sinning against God, but God also did not design humans to eat animals.
So health wise, humans are supposed to eat certain plants only, but humans might also need to eat animals if there are not enough readily available plants to live healthily.
God said humans can be saved from hell and go to heaven if we acknowledge and confess our sins to God, repent of our sins, and ask God to forgive of us of our sins by putting our faith in the blood sacrifice of Jesus as being sufficient to pay our debt of sins to God.
If we accept Jesus as our savior and Lord of our lives, souls, hearts, minds, and spirits, then God will accept Jesus' sacrifice for payment of our sins and declare us as forgiven and innocent again.
Once we die and/or Jesus returns, we will live with God and no longer live in this suffering world.
Jesus will stop all suffering on Earth when He returns to restore this world.
Therefore, reincarnation does not exist in the way that these other spiritual vegans seem to believe it does.
All humans are condemned to die once as wages for our sins. After death, all humans will be judged by God for their sins and either spend eternity with God in heaven or in the restored Earth or they will spend eternity in hell separated from God.
In the meantime, while humans live in the fallen world today, we are allowed to eat all animals without sinning against God, but we can also try to eat only plants that God designed us to do and reduce the suffering of animals out of compassion and love.
While I hope that you will someday no longer have to eat animal products, if you have to eat animal products to survive that is not sinning against God.
Just keep carefully listening to how your body reacts to certain foods.

Regenerative Environmental/Agriculture Better than Grass-fed animals while minimizing Slaughtering Animals Unnecessarily:
We can do better than grass-fed animal foods for the environment by implementing permaculture food forests instead even in the desert without slaughtering animals.

The Possibility of Animals Understanding the Possibility of Life and Death as Well as Experiencing Emotions and Suffering.:
Some people say animals have no awareness of death or emotions or suffering and that they just basically have reflexes only. They say this justifies slaughtering animals and not considering their well being.
They say animals can not communicate with us anyway so humans probably just project their own ideas of emotions onto animals. Some people say the animals may have agreed to be here for food and want to be killed.
My response is the following:
Um, I think the running away, screaming, kicking clawing, etc. might be a hint that most animals do not want to die. Communication is not all spoken or written language only. Even if the animals wanted to be eaten, it might be better to just be safe and let them live just on the off chance they want to live.
Tell you what. Set-up a slaughter spot in front of the animals, slaughter one animal in plain view of the other animals, then any animals who want to be slaughtered should come skipping for joy to the slaughter spot so they can be slaughtered next. Slaughter the eager and willing ones and leave the others alone. Problem solved.

My personal health advice based on my own experiences and experiments with my own body.:
I have experienced some health issues and have managed to find a way to address my issues while staying vegan with most of it being raw fruits and vegetables.
TLDR, I suggest you do the following:
1) Eliminate and reintroduce all foods to see what is affecting you negatively or positively,
2) Try eating more young coconut, avocados, and olives for satiation and protein,
3) Perform saunas 2 to 4 times a week to alleviate dandruff and dry itching skin issues,
4) Supplement with a high-quality raw green formula powder (I recommend Markus Rothkranz's Green-Pro-C),
5) Supplement with Vitamin D using a UVB lamp and/or oral or topical supplement.
Longer version:
You definitely need to listen to your body and not just try to do what you think will impress people or what you think will work without experiencing it for yourself. I had to eliminate some things from my diet then re-introduce them to experience how they affect me.
I found the following foods to affect my health most negatively:
nuts (Particularly peanuts. Caused acne, fatigue, muscle pain, and brain fog),
beans (Particularly pinto beans. Caused constipation, fatigue, muscle pain, and acne.),
grains (Particularly white rice. Caused constipation, bloating, fatigue, acne, dandruff, mucus, and eye discharges.), and
oatmeal (Caused tooth decay, constipation, bad breath, and flatulence).
I found the following foods to negatively affect my health enough to limit them:
spicy foods (Such as jalapenos. Caused bowel irritation.),
tomatoes (Caused bowel irritation and acne),
bananas (Caused canker sores, delayed mouth tissue healing, slight throat swelling, and snoring),
apples (Caused some bloating and flatulence),
onions (Caused flatulence and body odor),
garlic (Caused body odor),
peas (Caused constipation in large quantities.),
corn (Seemed to cause some constipation),
chia and flax seeds (Too much causes constipation and flatulence),
raw carrots (Too much fiber in medium to large amounts caused stomach pain. Juice is fine though.),
huge salads (Too much fiber caused belly bloating and bowel irritation. Small or medium salads are fine.),
dehydrated foods (Caused tooth decay, constipation, flatulence, and dry skin.)
cooked potatoes (savory starch helps with satiation but caused some fatigue and brain fog as well as reduced sleep quality and increased required sleep duration), and
unripe pineapple (Unripe pineapple will "burn" my mouth.).
I found the following foods to positively affect me:
ripe, fresh juicy fruits (such as mangoes, grapes, watermelons, peaches, etc.),
oranges (careful with teeth though),
orange juice (helps fill in calories especially if fruit quality is lacking),
avocados (unsaturated fats and protein for satiation),
olives (unsaturated fats and protein for satiation),
young coconuts (saturated fats and protein for satiation),
mushrooms (protein for satiation),
dark leafy greens (such as spinach. For vitamins and minerals),
celery (in small amounts. For vitamins and minerals),
edamame/tofu (soybeans. protein for satiation),
sugar (helps fill in calories if fruit quality is lacking.),
olive oil (for unsaturated fats), and
coconut oil (for saturated fats).
You also need to look beyond food only and consider how the environment might be causing some of your issues.
I found that I have dandruff and dry skin during the winter and that having saunas 2 to 4 times a week helps stop that.
Sweating causes my old, dry skin to be removed easily when I shower. If I do not remove this old skin it will flake off as dandruff for days after the shower.
If your skin is still dry after you shower, sweat a little bit in the sauna again to bring moisture and natural oils to your scalp and skin.
I use a "near-infrared" sauna using red heat lamp bulbs to also receive some red-light therapy benefits which helps heal skin, improves detox, and increases energy.
You also should not rely only on grocery store produce to provide all your nutritional needs since they were probably grown in deficient soil, picked unripe, and spent weeks or months in storage and shipment losing nutrients the whole time.
I found supplementing with a high quality raw, wild green powder formula helped with my energy, hair, and skin health. I recommend Markus Rothkranz's Green-Pro-C.
Finally, I supplement Vitamin D using a UVB lamp, though you could supplement orally or topically. This helps with a wide range of issues. In particular, it is important for bone and teeth health. Some people noticed that their teeth were sensitive and started becoming translucent until they started properly supplementing Vitamin D. I noticed this started slightly happening to myself as well before I supplemented.
The most important thing is to listen to your body.
Remember not all plant foods are beneficial to all people's bodies.
Some raw foods (nuts) are worse than some cooked foods (potatoes).
Stopping the things that are causing the problems is often more important than trying to add more things.
Not everything is caused by food alone. Some things are caused by environmental factors (too cold, too dry, lack of fresh air and sunshine, sleep quality, etc.).
