56: Animal-based protein vs. plant-based protein

Proteins are the building blocks of our body. We need them to build, repair and restore anything and everything. In fact, each cell in our body is designed to build different proteins, all in correlation with our body's needs. Our body is designed to take a protein and tear it apart to it's smallest ingredients, and then rebuild the proteins we need from those ingredients. However, not all proteins were created alike. Not all proteins have the same ingredients. When we decide to get our proteins from a plant-based diet, we don't provide our body all the building blocks it needs to build, repair and restore. Over time, this can be dangerous. Even life threatening. In today's episode Dr. Jack and Mary break down the science behind proteins, the differences between animal-based and plant-based proteins and what it means to your daily protein intake.
