I’ve Studied Nutrition At Stanford For 30 Years… You’re Eating Too Much Protein

Christopher Gardner, PhD, is a nutrition scientist and Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, where he has led more than 20 large-scale randomized clinical trials comparing diets like keto, vegan, low-fat, and low-carb.
