Summary

These days, it seems like there's a new diet every week — and most of them have one thing in common: Lots and lots of protein. But is all that protein necessary — or even healthy? On this episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, I'm going to debunk a few of the biggest myths about protein, tell you the one protein you should always avoid, and explain why a vegetarian diet may be the healthiest diet out there — EVEN if you want to build big muscles.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast, You know it seems like every week I'm
