This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Cozy Earth, BON CHARGE, and Mitopure.\nIf you\u2019ve ever wondered if plant-based meat alternatives are nutritionally equal to real, pasture-raised meats, or if they are truly better for issues like inflammation and cardiovascular health, this is the episode for you. Meat has become such a monolithic topic when, in fact, it\u2019s extremely complex and nuanced. We can\u2019t just say all meat is good or no meat is good, it\u2019s a matter of what types and sources of proteins you\u2019re eating and what the rest of your diet looks like, too.\xa0\nI\u2019m excited to dive into all those complexities today with Dr. Stephan van Vliet, who is a nutrition scientist with metabolomics expertise in the Center for Human Nutrition Studies at Utah State University. Dr. van Vliet\u2019s research is performed at the nexus of agricultural and human health. He routinely collaborates with farmers, ecologists, and agricultural scientists to study critical linkages between agricultural production methods, the nutrient density of food, and human health. His work has been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Scientific Reports, the Journal of Nutrition, and the Journal of Physiology.\nThis episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Cozy Earth, BON CHARGE, and Mitopure.\nRupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs.
