They dive into why red meat has been unfairly blamed for chronic health issues and reveal what industrial farming has done to give it a bad name. Monica explains why sourcing and preparation make all the difference, and how choosing properly raised meat can be a turning point in your wellness journey. You’ll leave with the clarity and confidence to choose meat that supports healing and not harm.
They also dig into the growing popularity of plant-based diets and expose the lesser-known problems they can create. From anti-nutrients in vegetables to the difficulty of digesting plant proteins, Monica explains why a plant-heavy approach isn’t always the answer, especially for people trying to heal.
You’ll hear why the body’s need for bioavailable protein, collagen, and animal fats can’t be met by powders, peas, or nut milks, no matter how clean the label looks. Together, they ask critical questions about whether today’s plant-based hype is built on solid ground.
Monica also breaks down how traditional preparation techniques like slow-cooking meat with bones, skin, and joints can transform a simple meal into a nutrient-dense one. She explains the importance of collagen, gelatin, and cartilage for gut repair, joint health, and skin elasticity. It’s not just about the meat you eat, but how you cook it.
They touch on the dangers of highly processed “health” foods like nut milks and protein powders. Monica explains how these products often contain fillers, gums, and anti-nutrients that can quietly inflame the body. You’ll learn why real food always trumps convenience products in the long run.
And for those frustrated by conflicting health advice, Dr. Katie and Monica deliver a refreshing, grounded approach.
Listen and discover surprising facts about the foods you thought were healthy and why they may be doing more harm than good.
