Plant Powered Protein with Brenda Davis, RD

On June 13, 2023, Brenda Davis, RD answered the question that many who follow a plant-based diet hear, "Where do you get your protein?" We live in a protein-obsessed culture. People of all ages and activity levels are concerned about getting enough protein. Those who shift to a plant-based diet will invariably be asked where they get their protein. Most Americans assume that only animal products provide enough high quality protein, and without it, your muscles will wither away. Brenda Davis, co-author of Plant-Powered Protein, laid the protein question to rest once and for all, and tackled many other protein misconceptions. She examined standard tools for assessing protein quality and made a strong case for factoring risk of death and disease into the protein quality equation. She discussed protein needs throughout the lifecycle, the advantages of plant vs animal protein, the most healthful protein sources, and the advantages of plant protein beyond human health. She is a distinguished member of RLMI’s Scientific Advisory Board and one of the best speakers you will ever hear. This is a lecture that you won't want to miss!

Fantastic presentation! Thank you. I’m going to order the book- both as a reference and to show my friends and family when they ask the inevitable question lol. I wasn’t worried about my protein having been WFPB for 10 years but now I realize as a 63 year old distance runner - I think I could definitely increase by about 20 grams per day. That’s significant. Thanks again.
