Protein's Role in Aging and Environmental Health

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

I'm stoked to bring you this week's episode of the Flex Diet Podcast. I had the pleasure of diving headfirst into one of my all-time favorite subjects (no - not kiteboarding, dark beer or heavy metal), but Bro-Tein!

Join me for a fascinating exploration of protein's multifaceted role in aging and sustainability, featuring insights from Dr. Paul Morgan, a senior lecturer in nutrition and metabolism at Manchester Metropolitan University.

We navigate the often misunderstood world of Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and debate the complexities of protein intake, particularly for older adults. Dr. Morgan shares his expert perspective on the necessity of revisiting and personalizing these protein guidelines to accommodate individual needs and the changing demands of our bodies as we age.

Bonus: If you're a plant-based eater, we unpack the contentious debates surrounding plant-based versus animal-based proteins,
