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 thrilled to bring you today's episode.

0:10.6

We have Dr. Sarah Zaldivar joining us today, and I had such a wonderful conversation with her about the physiology of food addiction, her opinions on the fasting and feasting or priming that people do

0:25.9

in the carnivore space. She is a carnivore doctor and an expert in nutrition. She was trained

0:32.6

and was up until recently a professor to her university in florida and she now spends most of her time

0:40.9

dedicated to helping people improve their body composition their health break free from food addiction

0:47.5

with the help of certain protocols like carnivore keto and a lot of really interesting work on what exercise can do to improve

0:59.5

our dopamine levels and heal and recover from food addiction. So we had such a great conversation

1:04.9

today all about so many important topics that I love getting to talk about. And I know you'll get a ton of

1:45.6

can make progress towards my body recomposition goals. And if I'm not really able to absorb all of

1:52.5

the protein or the individual amino acids that are broken down with proteases, which are the enzymes

1:58.8

that break down protein, then I wouldn't be making the progress

2:02.6

that I want to be. I would just be eating a lot of protein and not really absorbing all the

2:07.3

protein that I was eating. I had to slowly work my way up to eating the high protein meals

2:12.6

that I eat. And it took me time because I had lower stomach acid and less enzymes to break down protein

2:20.6

from not eating it for so many years. So in order for your body to really fully take advantage
