<description>In this episode, we tackle the extremes of diet culture, the quest for longevity, and why hardcore food labels might be a thing of the past.

Topics covered in this episode:

The Longevity Debate (Buettner vs. Asprey): We break down the fascinating clash between two men who claim to have the answers to living to 100. Is the secret in beans, whole foods, and community, or is it in meat, supplements, and biohacking?

The Vegan Exodus: Why are major influencers walking away from the “vegan” label to rebrand as “plant-based”? We look at the strategy, the community reactions, and the debate around “imperfect vegans.”

Dropping the Carnivore Diet: Michaela Peterson shares two major updates—she is no longer strictly carnivore, and she is helping launch a massive, crowdfunded randomized clinical study on the diet.</description>

Is This The Future of the Protein Industry? S03E18

<description>Nutrition advice has never been louder or more polarized. From carnivore-only diets to sugar-only extremes, confident claims often race ahead of the science.

In this episode, we explore three stories shaping today’s nutrition debate. First, we unpack insights from a Mayo Clinic–trained physician, clinical nutrition expert, and stage 4 cancer survivor, who explains why food is medicine and why plant-forward eating and moderation continue to outperform nutrition fads.

We then look at the business and media landscape around plant-based food, including the collapse of Beyond Meat’s share price, comments from CEO Ethan Brown, and claims from an industry insider paid to spread anti-vegan messaging online. We also examine the science comparing meat and plant-based alternatives, including the Stanford “Swap Meat” study.

Finally, we examine the rise of the carnivore diet online, driven by influencer anecdotes, and why medical experts are pushing back as concerns grow about long-term health risks and misinformation.</description>
