I’m looking forward to listening to this podcast and accessing the other resources mentioned. I had my gallbladder removed about 25 years ago, and no primary care physician or GI specialist ever informed me that I would need to take bile salts on an ongoing basis, in order to avoid digestive problems. I was only alerted to this need by a naturopathic practitioner, about a year ago.

Awesome.

It's not how much you eat it's how much you digest.

It's great hearing about stories counter to the 1g/Ib of protein narrative.

Jonathan - I know you listen to our stuff, but I was really hoping you'd hear this one. Who knew that someone could be a veg bodybuilder? I personally never knew about the amino acid conversion issue, but makes sense.

Namaste Roman & Bohdanna Thank you for letting Mr. Lightheart speak his mind, benefiting all of us. His words reminded me of the Ayurvedic concepts of [1] treating the ability to digest as a digestive fire and [2] a condition called "hidden indigestion" to describe a suboptimal digestion. Of course, the quality of the plant world has been degraded by technology and we have poor eating/cooking habits, but please consider covering in future the gradual decline in bodily functions, such as digestion, as we age.
