They tackle controversial topics such as protein needs (plant vs. animal proteins), the critical role of fiber and low-sugar fermented foods for gut health and inflammation, and how dietary choices influence gene expression. Furthermore, the discussion covers common food allergies, including gluten, wheat, dairy, and soy, and the nuances of raw dairy.
