I joined Dr. Orlena on the Fit and Fabulous at 40 and Beyond podcast to cut through the noise on social media regarding all things nutrition.
In this episode, we discussed:
- Why the strongest evidence consistently points to plants as the foundation of long-term health.
- How much protein you really need — and how to get it on a plant-based diet.
- Why controversial diets (like carnivore) gain attention despite weak evidence.
- What to make of eggs, dairy, soy, ultra-processed foods, omega-3s, and supplements.
- And much more!
