| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. |
| 0:04.6 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa, and I am so excited for today's episode. |
| 0:12.2 | We have Lily Nichols joining us on the podcast again. I think this is her third time being on. |
| 0:19.0 | And she just came out with a brand new, incredible book called Real Food for Fertility. |
| 0:26.2 | Prepare your body for pregnancy with preconception nutrition and fertility awareness. |
| 0:31.5 | And this interview, we get to talk about so many of my favorite concepts, including and not limited to prenatal and fertility |
| 0:39.9 | nutrition, but just how to optimize your body in general. And Lily is so incredible at doing |
| 0:47.4 | the research and sourcing everything in her books. She's even influenced policy internationally on recommendations for people to do |
| 0:57.0 | low carb in order to prevent or deal with gestational diabetes. And I just always learn so much from |
| 1:04.0 | her from our conversations. We talk a lot about an optimal protein intake and why that is so important |

| 1:23.1 | with. And similarly, if you are optimizing your protein intake, you are likely optimizing a lot of other things, including your nutrient intake and status because protein is so nutrient dense, especially animal-based protein, which is mostly what we're talking about. |
| 1:39.9 | She talks about how to switch out the unhealthy fats for the right kinds of fats and the ones that |
| 1:46.2 | are going to actually help lower inflammation instead of generate it like those toxic seed oils |
| 1:52.1 | that are present in our diet in so many different sources that it's hard to sort of pinpoint them |
| 1:58.4 | all these days because they seem to make their way into everything. |
| 2:01.6 | Even baby food, which is kind of appalling. |
| 2:04.9 | But today's episode is really for everyone, whether you are someone who is interested in fertility, conception, prenatal nutrition, |
| 2:12.5 | or you're just someone who wants to optimize their overall health. |
| 2:15.4 | The concepts that apply to having optimal fertility |
