Plant Proof - Plant Based Nutrition & Inspirational Stories

In Episode #37, I sat down for the second time with Dr Michelle McMacken (previous guest on Episode #2) to talk about the science behind eating for longevity. This is one of my favourite episodes so far in terms of breaking down the science, clearing the confusion, and helping us all understand what we should be eating more and less of. Grab a pen and paper…you’re going to want to take notes and probably listen more than once!   We talked about Michelle’s project, which offers plant-based food programmes to outpatients with chronic diseases, and the science behind saturated fat and cholesterol and their contributions to disease. Michelle explained the specific types of fat and cholesterol we need to worry about, sources of healthy fats, and the science of the paleo and keto diets. She also talked about type 2 diabetes and how to manage it nutritionally. Connect with Michelle on Instagram.
