Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I am your host, Vanessa Spina, and I am so pumped for today's episode.

Today, we are trying out a brand new format for the podcast, which I'm calling the best of series.

I know as listeners of the podcast, there's almost 400 episodes.

Some of them are over an hour long, sometimes two hours.

interviews. Some of these guests have been on two or three times because they are so brilliant.

They have so much incredible knowledge to share, but I can go back

and listen back to those episodes and sort of pull and tease out some really critical,

important messages from these guests and put them together for you in one episode. So you can

listen to it in part, in full, however you like to, over a few days, over a week. I know I like

to sometimes listen to episodes like that

over the course of a week if they're longer, but you let me know what you think of this format.

I am really excited to do a few variations of this. This is part one of the protein experts.

I've also planning to do one on fasting, one on women's hormones, and just put together

some of the top clips for you all

to really just take away some of those key, key messages. And also, if you have not heard
