Brad: Optimizing Your Animal-Based Diet, Part 5

Welcome to the fifth and final show in this series about optimizing your animal-based diet! In the last episode of the series, we continue to discuss the importance of emphasizing nutrient-dense foods, this time turning the focus to plants—specifically the ones containing the lowest amount of toxins, such as avocado, honey, fruit, and a few other plant foods (as you will hear in the show). Even if you are committed to eating mostly animal-based foods, there are still quite a few, very nutritious plants that will make a positive contribution to your diet—tune into this episode to learn why, and the most nutrient-dense plant foods you’ll want to add to your diet!   TIMESTAMPS: In this episode of optimizing your diet, you want to emphasize the lower toxic plants.
