Finally releasing this partnering episode.  Ironically, we had difficulty finding time to record together.  In typical busy couple fashion, we get caught up in our routines and it is hard to break out of them (even for something beneficial).  Together we share husband and wife perspectives on roles, responsibilities and how we support each other's lifestyle goals.

Plant-based milk alternatives are gaining popularity, but why?  The latest ad campaign positions Nextmilk as a nutritional substitute for cow's milk.  Is this necessary?  Is this product and products like it any better for you?  What about dairy in general? Are humans "supposed" to consume milk from other animals and do we need it in adulthood?

All of these questions and more are answered in this episode.

Plant-Based Eating is getting a lot of attention as of late.  But what does it mean?  Is it worth the hype to modify your diet to fit a plant-based eating pattern?  Isn't that the same as being vegan? What's wrong with eating meat?

All of these questions and more are answered in this episode. 

Note, plant-based meat is NOT discussed in this episode, but if you want to know how I feel about "fake meat", please check out "How to Get Off the Diet Roller Coaster".

Low Fat and No Fat foods are no longer popular (thank goodness).  For a long time, FAT took the blame for cardiovascular disease. Well, as it turns out, encouraging people to consume low-fat foods inadvertently increased the public's consumption of sugar and ultra-processed foods.  Instead of improving the health of the general public, cardiovascular disease continued to increase along with the average waistline of most Americans. 

Not too fast though, doctors were beating the low-fat drum too.  Now what?

Well, first, anytime an essential nutrient is being blamed for all health woes you should immediately question said advice.  Second, listen to this episode to find out why fat is actually an important part of your diet, which fats you should consume, and how much.

Carbohydrates are the most recent victim of the diet industry.  The reality is that your body needs carbohydrates.  Unless you have a medical reason to severely limit your carbohydrate intake (e.g. drug resistant epilepsy), consuming a diet moderate in high quality carbohydrates carries fewer long term risks and is much more sustainable.  

This episode is the second of a multi-part series about nutrition where you will learn to think about carbohydrates in terms of simple vs. complex instead of good vs. bad.  We will also cover carbohydrate intake needs needs and when to eat them.

Most people do not know how much protein they should be consuming, let alone how much they actually consume daily.  This episode is the first of a multi-part series about nutrition.  Before getting into the nitty gritty of protein, I give a brief overview of macronutrients and why they matter.  All macronutrients are important, but protein is of utmost importance for aging women and anyone trying to build a lean physique. Really....everyone.  

As promised in the episode, here is a helpful link with a table of protein sources and their relative amounts.
