I am super excited to launch this episode with special guest Dr. David Minkoff! I think everyone will learn a lot in this episode about protein and take away actionable steps no matter what type of diet you are on.
We dig deep on the topic of protein and we discuss why most of the patients he sees are low in at least 1 essential amino acid, his thoughts on plant-based nutrition, the difference between protein digestion and utilization, the problem with whey protein, the problems with the Impossible burger, how to properly detox, fasting, alcohol, CBD, and much more!
