most people eating a plant exclusive diet will benefit from supplementing with a multivitamin now it's not everyone because some people follow their diet very closely and are measuring out the amount of chia seeds and flax seeds that they're having and are having different types of seaweed for iodine and sure those people are strategically getting some of those micronutrients like
plant based omega threes and iodine, and they may not need to supplement with as much.
But for the average person who is super busy with work and kids and all the things,
When you shift to a plant-based diet, particularly if it's overnight, a multivitamin is a great insurance policy to make sure that your body has an optimal status of those micronutrients, which are really important and are going to affect how someone feels and are going to affect someone's ability to feel good and want to sustain that diet past two months, three months, a year into you've been following this diet now for, what, 15 years or so.
I think, again, a lot of the educators in the space, because they were coming from the ethical side of this conversation,
The assumption was that if you're telling people they need to be aware of protein and that protein's important, they're gonna keep eating the animal foods because society very much sees the animal foods as protein and we've been having the conversation around do plants contain protein and is it incomplete for decades now at this point.
And I have mixed feelings about that because, I mean, we've spoken about this ad nauseum on this show, but protein is important and sarcopenia and loss of muscle is a real problem.
It's affecting metabolic health.
It's affecting physical independence.
But if you look at what's driving that in America, it's not a lack of protein.
It's a sedentary lifestyle.
and we don't need to unpack that because we've done it before and gone through all of the clinical trials but the the stimulus isn't there from the resistance training for most people which is what's required to build and maintain muscle mass and the average person has more than enough protein to do that the problem isn't
But over the last, say three years with this kind of protein obsession that you're talking about, a lot of that message has been a doubling down on the importance of animal protein.
And I've pushed back on that a lot because I think it is a distraction.
It's a distraction from if someone really wants to reduce their risk of sarcopenia and have better metabolic health, they need to start moving their body against resistance.
They don't need to be focusing on eating more animal protein because they're already getting enough protein.
Yeah.
In some way, the labels create that, don't they?
They just create a wall and a division.
Yeah.
