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

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa, and I am so excited

for today's episode. We are going to be talking about one of my favorite things, the top

takeaways and highlights from an expert interview. And this week's episode was with the

incredible, phenomenal, brilliant Dr. Don Lehman. And I have so many incredible notes and insights

And I'm just so excited to share because I had some big, I think, mind-blowing moments.

And I always love doing these episodes because I really get to share, I think, the practical

takeaways that we can implement in our lives, getting to speak to these incredible scientists, physicians

and researchers like Dr. Don Lehman, who has discovered so many of the concepts that we kind of

takeaways, the practical applications that we can really implement

in our daily lives to see some of the incredible benefits that this research has discovered.

So I am so excited to get into today's episode.

Now, before we jump in, I want to take a really quick moment to tell you about a new service that I absolutely

love and I think that you will love too. I want to tell you about a very important nutrient that

many of us are deficient in and not even aware of it. And that nutrient is light and specifically

red light. I am so passionate and obsessed with the incredible amount

of science behind red light therapy's ability to support our mitochondrial health. Now our mitochondria,

as you probably know, are responsible for helping us to do pretty much everything in our bodies

at the cellular level. Now, when it comes to

energy levels, our immunity, our skin health and beauty, and even our metabolic health and fitness,
