Summary
When it comes to protein, we’ve been looking at it all wrong. It’s time to think about it in a profoundly different way.
Protein expert Dr. David Katz, who is the former president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, shares his new view on protein.
Our quest for high-quality protein often causes us to overlook the harmful and potentially disease-causing compounds that come with that same protein. We eat it and then we get sick.
Dr. Katz shares his novel approach to protein consumption, where we’ve been going wrong, and the best and healthiest protein sources when he joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
-- Topics Discussed --
- The truth about protein deficiency rates
- Essential amino acid sources
- Healthiest sources of protein
- Environmental impact of protein sources
- Getting enough protein
- And more
Dr. Katz will be speaking at the 2023 International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.
