  • Nitrates

    The episode on nitrates with Dr. Khambatta was excellent! I am a triathlete and my kids are runners and swimmers so I loved learning more about which veggies are rich in nitrates, how to eat them (raw), and how much to consume both before and after exercise to hep boost performance and increase time to exhaustion.

    Annoying host. He talks like he is trying to be a 20 year old dude… it’s hard to listen to even though the guests are excellent and have amazing information to share.

  • Not just gas

    One of your reasons was for the environment, very very true. But isn’t just cows gas, tearing down the rainforest, destroying what keeps the earth safer is a huge reason to just eat plants, beans, and grains.
