Episode 36: Jeanne Drisko: Macronutrients: Protein

Understanding macronutrients will make you a better clinician and guide for people seeking health. Today we will focus on one of the macronutrients, protein.

Learning about the macronutrients will allow you to make better dietary recommendations, not just following the current fad. You will be able to tailor dietary approaches for the individual, look at physical exam findings for clues and imbalances, and know when to do nutrient laboratory testing. Today we will discuss what vegetarians and vegans need for a balanced healthful approach when consuming protein. Most of all, integrative and functional dietitians are the best resource for partnering with clinicians in advising patients.
