The Proof with Simon Hill

Nutrition, Protein & Misinformation | Simon Hill on Food For Thought with Rhiannon Lambert


Listen Later

This week, I’m sharing a conversation I had as a guest on Food For Thought, the podcast hosted by registered nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert. We covered everything from protein and plant-based diets to the role of ultra-processed foods in chronic disease, and how to better interpret nutrition science in a world full of misinformation.


In this episode, I cover:

  • How to think critically about nutrition research
  • The impact of plant-based diets on human and planetary health
  • Protein quality and building muscle with plants
  • The role of ultra-processed foods in long-term health
  • Social media’s influence on nutrition discourse
  • What phytates are and whether they matter
  • This is a repost of my chat with Rhiannon. You can find her podcast and more of her work at rhitrition.com/podcast.
