The soundbite summary: My principle 5 is “It’s Never One Thing” and this episode looks how that plays out when looking at different diets (e.g., animal vs plant-based), health markers, metabolism trackers, and protein sources.
Topics include:
1) Is low-carb or Whole Food Plant-Based/Vegan better for health (e.g., blood glucose and cholesterol)?
2) What to do with a high cholesterol lab test?
3) Should I use the Lumen device to determine if I’m burning carbs or fat?
4) Are egg whites or whey protein better for strength and weight loss goals?
