In the ongoing debate between plant vs animal protein there’s really only one thing that matters, your health. Whether mentally or physically or there’s a battle between the two in your body, I’m willing to bet you’ve had this conversation at least internally. Is it right for you is almost always the best question to ask.
In this episode we collectively answer why, for midlife women, the question of plant vs. animal protein has a clear answer for these experts. I warn you it’s a persuasive fairly one-sided outcome. If you’re open to hearing all the pros and cons about a topic, however, this is worth the listen.

My Guests:
