I mean, my own eczema is very sensitive to foods and not even junk foods.
I'm talking about foods we might consider to be healthy can trigger my eczema like nightshade vegetables, things like white potatoes sometimes do or tomatoes, which are technically a fruit, but often considered vegetables.
So this idea that like,
all unprocessed foods work for all people is interesting i think it's a great start to the diet but if you have autoimmune issues it could be skin issues eczema psoriasis a lot of these gut issues are very responsive to intentional selection of certain foods in the human diet some permutation of an elimination diet you see ulcerative colitis crohn's ibs and again it's very individual and it doesn't work for everyone but there's something there
And I think that's a useful tool for people who are not finding answers and they have persistent chronic health issues or autoimmune disease that is unresolved.
And then you can end up on long-term medications with major side effects.
Some of these medications for psoriasis or eczema or inflammatory bowel diseases are quite problematic for a lot of humans.
I've even met people who said that their doctors wanted to remove their whole colon, you know,
In ulcerative colitis, it's often to have a colectomy, a total colectomy or a partial colectomy resulting in a colostomy bag.
And for a lot of these people, simply changing what foods they were eating was able to reverse their condition, which is interesting to me.
On the protein front, I think Mark is right.
When you look at the data, even in like bodybuilders,
0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight is basically more than anyone needs.
And this is assuming someone is not taking performance enhancing drugs or steroids.
Once you start doing that, who knows, everything's out the window and you're certainly playing with fire from a health perspective.
But yeah, I think for most people, 0.6 to 0.8 grams of protein at a functional level is probably going to be plenty of protein.
And as Marcus- Per pound of you.
Yes, yes, sorry, thank you.
0.6 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight
As Mark is saying, the animal protein is important here because when you look at the bioavailability of protein, there's a big drop off here.
