Plant vs. Animal Protein: Which is Better for Your Heart? | Simon Hill interviewed by Andre Duqum

Dive into this insightful clip from The Know Thyself Podcast as Andre Duqum interviewed me, we delve into the complex world of dietary choices, particularly focusing on the impact of plant versus animal proteins on heart health.

Throughout this discussion, I touch upon:
• The comparative health impacts of consuming animal versus plant proteins.
• The 'protein package' concept and its importance in our diet.
• Insights into the dietary patterns of hunter-gatherer tribes and what they signify for our current eating habits.
• The significance of dietary fibre from plants in enhancing blood lipid profiles and lowering the risk of heart disease.

Join me as I navigate the latest findings in nutrition science, encouraging a well-informed dialogue on the pivotal research and developments within the realm of dietary health.

Listened to a recent "Iron Culture" with the two Erics (Helms and Trexler). They talked about the latest research in protein for hypertrophy, how plant protein is not 'inferior', little benefit to more than 1.6 g / kg, leucine not as important as once thought, timing not that important. By the way, they mentioned your podcast favourably.

Could you provide the studies regarding meat and white meat increasing apoB? Never found one where the macros and kcal are accounted for

How did fish fare in these studies? Did it create the same effects as white meat?
