Plant Protein Vs. Animal Protein | Optimising Amino Acids with Dr. Eric Trexler.

Vegan Body Coach Podcast

Is just getting enough protein the best recommendation for optimising your results on a plant based diet?

Or do we need to dive a little deeper and make our food selections based on specific amino acids?
On today's episode I've got the brilliant mind of Dr. Eric Trexler joining me to break down the latest research on plant protein vs. animal protein.
Eric, well know for his work within the MASS research review team and work alongside Greg Knuckles over at Stronger By Science, is about as rational and nuanced as they come, and his understanding of the current research on plant protein and it's effects on muscle growth and strength is second to none.
Grab a pea protein shake and let's dive in.
