Hey, all right, everyone. Welcome to episode number 28 of Heel Thyself. We are doing big things.

I cannot wait to have this show. This show's been what two and a half weeks in the making.

We have a oh my god a super special guest. I just want to jump right into it because I know I

want to a lot as much time as I can with this guest because she is going to be on fire.

But we cannot overlook all of the research, all the work that has gone down to tell you all about the cleanest proteins out there.

Yes, this is the protein episode.

So without further ado, let's get to the first part,

the Knowledge Bomb. So a few years ago actually was last year 2018 there was a review of protein powders and

there were animal-based ones and plant-based ones and

the biggest concern in protein powders are heavy metals. Arsenic lead mercury

and cadmium those are the big four and and other contaminants too, even like BPA, right, with the packaging.

But if you refer to the past shows, I speak about all these metals.

There's a heavy metal show, so I go into detail about what are the levels, where they're found, and how they affect us.

But the biggest concern with heavy metals is the neurological

and the neurological effect, right? And carcinogenic potential.

That's cancer-causing potential because heavy metals are real.

I said it on the other episode about heavy metals and they do cause diseases.

The problem is they can build up over time. So it's not like you're exposed to heavy metals and

you're just going to pee them and poop them out and you're fine,

no they store up in the body and the bones and the hair and the tissue so we need to be

aware about where our sources are and what we can do about it but this show this

episode is dedicated to those sources of heavy metals in our protein.
