One of the most hot button topics in today's nutrition landscape is the debate between plant-based and animal-based sources. While there are many perspectives and lenses on which to view this topic including environment, ethical, and spiritual, I want to address this issue from a nutritional standpoint and what the research shows is best for our health, hormones, and body composition. We'll also discuss the role of beauty and the bodybuilding industry, complete proteins, why I love my air fryer, and more!     Time Stamps:   (1:32) Animal vs Plant Based Diets (3:40) Plant Based Diet Benefits (6:02) Plant Based Products (7:43) Beauty and Bodybuilding Industry (10:05) What is a Complete Protein?
