Welcome to the PLANTSTRONG Podcast with Rip Esselstyn.

We know that many of you around the world are exploring and embracing the goodness of whole, plant-based foods. Perhaps you’re motivated by the many health benefits, or you’re eating more plants for social or environmental reasons. Regardless, we at PLANTSTRONG welcome you wherever you are on your journey and hope to provide you with plenty of resources to help.

Today, Rip addresses the elephant in the room - PROTEIN.

What is it?
How much do we need?
Which plant foods have the most protein?
Why is plant-based protein superior to animal-based protein?

When you're eating whole food, plant foods, you’re also consuming all their other beneficial ingredients, such as fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. These are the superheroes you want coursing through your body when it comes to fighting off oxidative stress, building healthy cells, strengthening your immune system, and reversing disease.

Here’s the simple truth: Plants have protein, they have plenty of it, and it’s 100 percent healthy. Since you have a choice, why not choose the healthiest option?
