Summary

The truth about meat is more nuanced than whether it is good or bad. While factory-farmed red meat is an environmental and climate catastrophe, is inhumane, and may have adverse health consequences, this is not true of meat from regeneratively raised animals. The real question we should be asking is, is meat healthy or harmful? In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman discusses how to eat meat as medicine, the fifth principle in his new book, “The Pegan Diet: 21 Practical Principles for Reclaiming Your Health in a Nutritionally Confusing World” out February 23, 2021.
