These days, it seems like there’s a new diet every week — and most of them have one thing in common: lots and lots of protein. But is all that protein necessary — or even healthy? On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Gundry debunks a few of the biggest myths about protein. He also reveals the one protein you should always avoid and discusses why a vegetarian diet may be the healthiest diet out there — EVEN if you want to build big muscles.
