Using science to support a healthy diet with Frank Cusimano

Episode 19 of the Plant Proof Podcast with Frank Cusimano is all about using science to make objective & informed food choices. With a host of science degrees under his belt, a PHD in Nutrition and Medical Degree underway, and an absolute passion for reading scientific literature, Frank is perfectly suited to help us navigate through many commonly asked questions about healthy eating and where the science sits. Whats cool, which Frank goes into, is that he doesn't specifically label himself as 'Vegan', rather he just eats a certain way because it is supported by science as the healthiest way, and it just so happens to mean it does not include animal products and is therefore labelled by society as 'vegan'. In this episode we cover: •Frank's story and transition to a plant-based diet •Optimal times to eat meals and should we fast? •BCAA's •How much Protein do we need? •Eating for longevity •Losing weight with Longevity in mind •Keto & Paleo Diets •Is Soy healthy? •Omega 3's - are they important and where can we get them from? Do we need to supplement Omega 3? •An overview of the gut microbiome and the enteric nervous system •Is Coconut Oil beneficial? •Should we cook with oil? •and much much more Regarding Soy you can see post's that both Frank and I have previously done on this topic below: •Can Soy prevent Prostate Cancer? •Is Soy Healthy? •Is Soy Testosterone Lowering?
