There's something called the protein leverage hypothesis where we're instead of looking for just any kind of energy, we're looking eating specifically for amino acids, which are the breakdown products of protein.

And when we get enough, we stop eating. We feel full. But if we don't, if we're always eating fat or carbohydrates, we might never reach that protein threshold and it just requires us to keep consuming

more and more calories.

I mean, the benefits of simple protein, increasing protein are absolutely dramatic.

I bet you guys didn't know that food labeled as, quote, made in America only has to be 51% made in America.

And if that chicken, for example, was born and hatched in the USA, farmers can ship them

to other countries for processing.

Then they are shipped backed and sold in the United States and labeled as

hatched in America without needing to disclose where it was processed. That is disturbing to me.

Today, I am debunking common myths and shedding light in the meat industry with Autumn Smith,

who is the co-founder of Paleo Valley and

Wild Pastures. She also shares her own personal story on how she was suffering with gut and skin

issues, anxiety, and mental health problems from the age of 11 all the way into her 20s and

saw a quick turnaround in her health after just one month of

implementing a protein forward diet. We also talk about how Americans were tricked into believing

that meat is bad for us and who is behind and influences the food pyramid, why we are so nutrient deficient despite the fact many of us

eat a well-rounded whole foods diet and ways to get around that. Plus the differences between

synthetic vitamins and how 90% of vitamin C on the market is actually derived from GMO corn.

You guys, that's just the tip of the iceberg and I cannot wait for you guys to listen to

this episode.
