77. The Best Diet For (Almost) Everyone - Why a High Fibre and High Protein, Mostly Plant-Based Diet Works for Human Health


Listen Later

What’s the best diet for humans? When you zoom out and look at decades of research, human physiology, and real-world health outcomes, a clear pattern emerges.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why humans are built to eat a variety of foods, not follow extreme diet tribes
  • How fibre, protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients create the foundations of long-term health
  • The major pitfalls of going too far into either direction - strict vegetarian/vegan or strict carnivore/low-fibre
  • Why fish and lean proteins play a protective role that plants alone or meat alone cannot fully replace
  • How a “plant-forward + protein-adequate” diet supports energy, digestion, weight management, hormones, and longevity
  • Simple, real-life guidelines for building balanced meals without restriction, dieting, or overwhelm

This is not another diet trend. It’s not about labels, rules, or perfection. It’s about eating in a way that aligns with our biology, is easy to maintain, and supports whole-body health - for almost everyone.

Whether you’re confused about nutrition, stuck between diet opinions online, or wanting clarity for yourself or your clients, this episode gives you a grounded, balanced, evidence-informed answer.
