Hey there, sunshine, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.
00:00:03.849 --> 00:00:13.509
We're your host, jared and Anita Roussell, and we're absolutely head over heels for whole plant foods and helping you navigate this incredible plant based journey.
00:00:13.509 --> 00:00:18.405
That's because our lives have been completely changed by plant based goodness.
00:00:18.405 --> 00:00:31.060
We used to struggle every day with excess pounds and low energy, vascular disease, joint pain and lack of sleep, just to name a few, and even though we're medical professionals, we still weren't getting practical answers that actually worked.
00:00:31.060 --> 00:00:39.506
So we dug into the research, we started living what we learned, and now we both have our lives back, and that's what we want for you, too.
00:00:39.787 --> 00:00:43.042
The truth is, you can do this, and it's not hard.
00:00:43.042 --> 00:00:47.472
You just need a way that will bring real and lasting change, and that path.
00:00:47.472 --> 00:00:51.414
It has to be simple and enjoyable, and it's got to be delicious too.
00:00:51.414 --> 00:00:54.223
So are you ready to live your life to the fullest?
00:00:54.223 --> 00:00:59.804
Then you're in the right place, because living without limits that's what Power On Plants is all about.
00:00:59.804 --> 00:01:04.786
So pull up your chair, grab a matcha latte and let's get started.
00:01:04.786 --> 00:01:17.046
Well, hello, sunshine, and welcome to the Power On Plants podcast, where we're all about helping you bust the myths that you believe so that you can move forward in true help.
00:01:17.046 --> 00:01:22.222
And I'll tell you, there's this one myth that just will not die.
00:01:22.222 --> 00:01:25.268
We hear it all the time.
00:01:25.268 --> 00:01:29.453
People keep asking us where do you get your protein?
00:01:29.453 --> 00:01:34.454
Patients come to Jared and ask him this on a regular basis.
00:01:34.715 --> 00:01:41.524
This is probably the number one objection slash question that I hear all the time, especially whenever I introduce the idea of being plant based.
00:01:41.524 --> 00:01:46.665
When they get through that deer in the headlight, look then it's, but where do you get your protein?
00:01:47.605 --> 00:01:53.864
And it really is so funny because it's such a big myth and it's been around so long.
00:01:53.864 --> 00:02:03.737
So many of us believed it because of the marketing that's been out there, because people want to sell you their protein products.
00:02:03.737 --> 00:02:06.569
So we are going to lay this myth to rest.
00:02:06.569 --> 00:02:10.044
Protein powders, protein shakes we're all about saving you money.
00:02:10.044 --> 00:02:12.133
We're all about saving you time and listen.
00:02:12.133 --> 00:02:14.923
You do not need to buy all these protein products.
00:02:14.923 --> 00:02:15.625
Why?
00:02:15.625 --> 00:02:22.324
Because when you go plant based and you eat plant foods, every plant food has protein in it.
00:02:22.324 --> 00:02:30.063
Understand, they all have protein to varying degrees, absolutely, but they all have plenty.
00:02:30.063 --> 00:02:38.668
So that no one today probably even knows of the name unless you're a medical professional of protein deficiency.
00:02:38.668 --> 00:02:41.864
I mean, when you think of it was a big problem, you might all know what a protein deficiency is called.
00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:46.752
I would think it would be on billboards, it would be in magazines, radio, social media.
00:02:46.752 --> 00:02:48.318
It would be plastered everywhere.
00:02:48.658 --> 00:02:49.461
So what is the name?
00:02:49.461 --> 00:02:54.139
The name is Quasior Core have you ever heard of Quasior Core sister?
00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:54.640
Probably not.
00:02:54.681 --> 00:03:00.082
We've mentioned it once or twice, but if you're a new listener, you've probably never heard of this before.
00:03:00.522 --> 00:03:04.129
No, and the reason is it's not common.
00:03:04.129 --> 00:03:09.646
It just does not happen in standardized westernized societies.
00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:23.085
It doesn't happen in the general public, unless you're in a place where you're not getting enough food to satisfy your daily food requirements, your daily calorie requirements.
00:03:23.085 --> 00:03:29.294
And for most of us, especially here in America, that's generally not a problem, especially if you're listening to this podcast.
00:03:29.355 --> 00:03:30.800
Okay, and we're blessed.
00:03:30.861 --> 00:03:31.883
We're absolutely blessed.
00:03:31.883 --> 00:03:48.401
And we need to thank the father for that, because we have food to eat enough that we usually get our requirements met every single day as far as calories go, and we know that with plant foods, when you get enough calories, you get plenty of protein.
00:03:48.401 --> 00:03:51.350
Actually, the problem is too much protein.
00:03:51.350 --> 00:03:57.008
Most people are getting way in excess of what they need and that's very hard on the body.
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.768
They get way more than what they need.
00:03:58.768 --> 00:04:10.504
But if it comes from an animal source, it can be very hard on the body, very hard on the kidneys, because they have to process this, because your body does not store protein, it does not store amino acids, so it has to go somewhere and what are amino acids?
00:04:10.645 --> 00:04:11.729
What do they have to do with this?
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.790
The amino acids are the building blocks for proteins.
00:04:14.790 --> 00:04:15.735
Right?
00:04:15.735 --> 00:04:33.766
I remember using a great example a long time ago If you're a parent, pop blocks, amino acids are like the different shapes and colors of the pop blocks, where your body assembles those together and then, as they assemble, they'll tend to fold on each other and then create a three dimensional shape that then has functions.
00:04:33.766 --> 00:04:40.314
It could be something that's structural, it could be an enzyme I mean, it's a multiple of things that it could be and those are the proteins.
00:04:40.314 --> 00:04:42.286
Correct, correct, those are the proteins.
00:04:42.661 --> 00:04:45.310
Right, and so you've got all these proteins.
00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:54.012
Your body can take these amino acids from the different feeds, break them down, put them back together and create the proteins that you need.
00:04:54.012 --> 00:04:58.007
So there's no need to worry about protein combining.
00:04:58.007 --> 00:04:59.951
It was back in the 70s.
00:04:59.951 --> 00:05:14.045
Back in the 70s, and the woman actually recanted it when she realized soon afterwards that she was wrong and saying oh well, if you plant food, you need to combine rice with beans or you need to combine this with that to get them out of protein that you need.
00:05:14.528 --> 00:05:17.716
And this myth is still persisting today.
00:05:17.716 --> 00:05:19.240
But it's just not true.
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:31.028
So I want you to be freed from this idea of I need protein powders and I need protein shakes and I need protein bars and well, I mean plant based and I need to buy plant proteins instead of my regular proteins that I used to buy that were animal based.
00:05:31.028 --> 00:05:40.451
No, you don't Just eat plenty of plant foods, whole plant foods, to provide your daily calorie requirements.
00:05:40.451 --> 00:05:48.660
Most of us in this country, again, are not calorie deficient, and so we don't need to worry about getting enough protein.
00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:51.088
Now maybe you're worried about your strength.
00:05:51.088 --> 00:05:55.624
How could you possibly be strong enough just eating plants?
00:05:55.624 --> 00:06:01.456
Right, because we've been taught in order to be strong, we need meat, we need milk, we need dairy.
00:06:01.456 --> 00:06:06.901
We need all these animal products to be physically strong or buff like.
00:06:06.901 --> 00:06:09.548
If you're trying to work out, you know you think you need it to be buff.
00:06:09.548 --> 00:06:16.786
Well, let's just think what example do we know of something that just eats plants?
00:06:16.786 --> 00:06:18.110
That's strong.
00:06:18.690 --> 00:06:19.612
Well, perfect example.
00:06:19.612 --> 00:06:20.053
What are they?
00:06:20.053 --> 00:06:21.958
We've got examples of elephants.
00:06:21.958 --> 00:06:23.987
They're big, they're strong.
00:06:23.987 --> 00:06:28.577
They don't seem to lack for any kind of muscle size energy.
00:06:28.577 --> 00:06:30.771
Giraffes they're herbivores.
00:06:30.771 --> 00:06:32.456
They eat nothing but plants.
00:06:32.456 --> 00:06:36.749
And then look at cows beef it's what's for dinner, but what's the beef eating?
00:06:36.749 --> 00:06:38.673
It's eating plants.
00:06:38.673 --> 00:06:40.798
That's where it's getting its protein source.
00:06:40.798 --> 00:06:42.208
It's amino acids.
00:06:42.670 --> 00:06:48.932
So if you don't want to get second hand protein, just go to the source get the plant Cut out, the middle man cut out directly.
00:06:48.932 --> 00:06:53.069
Cut out the cholesterol, cut out all the other stuff that comes with it, right?
00:06:53.110 --> 00:06:55.036
Another great example would be gorillas.
00:06:55.036 --> 00:07:03.665
I mean, they're 100% herbivores and I guarantee you I would not want to get into a cage fight with a gorilla because he would destroy me.
00:07:03.665 --> 00:07:10.420
But very strong lots of energy, no deficiencies there, it's all plants.
00:07:10.901 --> 00:07:12.444
Right, all plants.
00:07:12.444 --> 00:07:13.927
So think about that for a minute.
00:07:13.927 --> 00:07:25.161
So what has happened is we've bought the lye hook line and sinker and many of the lies are told to keep you coming back to products again and again.
00:07:25.161 --> 00:07:29.997
Right, we understand that we have our eyes opening to so many things these days.
00:07:29.997 --> 00:07:45.430
We're becoming awakened to a lot of what's going on, okay, so I want you to be awakened to these truths about how to get healthy and the myths that are keeping you stuck and this is one of the myths that you need to worry about getting protein, especially if you're eating plants.
00:07:45.430 --> 00:07:47.755
You know the real question we need to be asking.
00:07:47.755 --> 00:07:52.504
Really, let's shift now if we're no longer going to be asking where do we get our protein?
00:07:52.504 --> 00:07:53.747
What's the real question?
00:07:53.747 --> 00:07:56.413
What's the thing that our attention is being diverted from?
00:07:56.975 --> 00:08:10.086
Because generally, when we're being told something that's not true, it's diverting our tension from something that is true, and what the truth is is that we need to be concerned about where do we get our fiber?
00:08:10.086 --> 00:08:11.798
Where do we get our fiber?
00:08:11.798 --> 00:08:24.499
Because that little side of canned green beans that you're getting while you eat your steak dinner is not enough fiber to meet your daily fiber requirements, and that is what your gut thrives on.
00:08:24.499 --> 00:08:32.124
Your good gut bacteria have to have fiber for their foods, so where are they getting the fiber that they need?
00:08:32.124 --> 00:08:35.802
Why do people end up with all these digestive disorders?
00:08:35.802 --> 00:08:37.886
Have clouded thinking.
00:08:37.886 --> 00:08:45.158
Okay, all these things go back to gut health, and gut health is directly tied to the amount of fiber that you get.
00:08:45.158 --> 00:08:46.639
You know where you get fiber.
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.654
It's only found in plants Found in plants.
00:08:50.895 --> 00:08:52.601
Do you know where you don't get fiber?
00:08:52.601 --> 00:08:55.243
No, animal products have it.
00:08:55.243 --> 00:08:58.484
They completely have zero zilch, not a fiber.
00:08:58.955 --> 00:09:05.322
And don't get confused with the term muscle fiber, because those are cells within muscles but they are not plant fiber.
00:09:05.322 --> 00:09:10.004
So not the same thing Eggs, meat, dairy no fiber whatsoever.
00:09:10.004 --> 00:09:12.386
And fiber's not just about feeding the gut bacteria.
00:09:12.386 --> 00:09:14.376
It's not just about having regular bowel movements.
00:09:14.376 --> 00:09:26.147
While those are very important, it also helps to eliminate waste from the body, because sometimes those waste are dumped into the gut and then the fiber helps to hold onto that and help eliminate it.
00:09:26.147 --> 00:09:28.740
So there's detoxing with that.
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:41.001
There's excess estrogens that get dumped into the digestive tract get bound and removed, so you've got just tons of stuff going on that's completely being ignored because we're so infatuated with protein.
00:09:41.001 --> 00:09:49.379
Now I tell all my patients whenever that deer in the headlight, I tell them listen, you do not have a protein deficiency.
00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:53.519
And I'll mention about the protein deficiency name, quasiorkor.
00:09:53.519 --> 00:10:04.682
But then I tell them listen, if you eat enough plants to meet your daily energy requirements, you will get twice the amount of proteins which your body needs Also too, while your body does not store excess protein.
00:10:04.682 --> 00:10:08.078
So to try to just overdose on this is absolutely insane.
00:10:08.078 --> 00:10:09.256
It's a waste of money.
00:10:09.256 --> 00:10:11.615
Your body has to process this Now.
00:10:11.615 --> 00:10:18.004
If you're to do that with your plant, since eating enough for your calories gives you twice what your body needs, it doesn't have the same effect.
00:10:18.004 --> 00:10:25.403
You've done studies and animal proteins in excess will inflame the kidneys, whereas plant proteins in excess does not.
00:10:25.836 --> 00:10:28.104
It has zero inflammation on the kidneys.
00:10:28.434 --> 00:10:36.344
So not only do you not need that much, it is harmful when you're getting that much protein, especially when it is animal based.
00:10:36.344 --> 00:10:38.620
With plant based, you add the extra protein.
00:10:38.620 --> 00:11:00.839
You're probably not going to harm yourself, but you're wasting your money, you're throwing your money down the drain, you're wasting your time and you're filling yourself up with extra products that instead you could be filling that space with more leafy greens more purples, more diverse plant feeds yes, Another thing to be aware of, too, is that there's a constant state of breakdown and rebuilding going on in your body.
00:11:01.394 --> 00:11:03.480
As old cells die, they get broken down.
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.745
Amino acids get recycled.
00:11:05.745 --> 00:11:07.962
Your body is beautifully and wonderfully made.
00:11:07.962 --> 00:11:12.261
Just like it likes to conserve water, it likes to conserve those amino acids.
00:11:12.261 --> 00:11:17.706
So two thirds of the products that are broken down get recycled.
00:11:17.706 --> 00:11:24.008
So you have within your body at any given moment all the amino acids that you need at that point in time.
00:11:24.008 --> 00:11:33.145
Now, of course, we've got to eat and replenish those, but you don't need to be worried that I don't have enough isoleucine, I don't have enough valine, I don't have enough cystine.
00:11:33.145 --> 00:11:38.041
You don't have to worry about those things, because they're always going to be available to you.
00:11:39.111 --> 00:11:41.532
Those are great points, absolutely.
00:11:41.532 --> 00:11:44.860
So we're going to move on from this point forward.
00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:54.879
If you've heard this, you now know that there is no need to be worried about a protein deficiency, even if you're 100% whole food plant based.
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:59.758
So you don't have to worry about eating a ton of tofu or a ton of beans or anything like that.
00:11:59.758 --> 00:12:01.777
Just get a good variety.
00:12:01.777 --> 00:12:05.894
Make sure you're getting your greens and those things that you think, oh, but those aren't high protein.
00:12:05.894 --> 00:12:08.317
But your body really, really needs those things.
00:12:08.317 --> 00:12:10.778
You're high in so many other incredible nutrients.
00:12:10.778 --> 00:12:15.879
We don't have time to go into all that today, but you need a good variety of those different things.
00:12:16.389 --> 00:12:18.197
I would like to just interject one more thing.
00:12:18.197 --> 00:12:22.339
I just I wanna can I man, can I bust in here?
00:12:22.339 --> 00:12:31.857
Go for it All right, because I wanna blow your mind, because when I heard this it absolutely blew my mind All protein starts with plants.
00:12:31.857 --> 00:12:38.277
There's not a single animal on this planet, or human, that actually makes protein.
00:12:38.277 --> 00:12:44.216
Now here's the thing we can take those pop blocks, assemble them together to make protein.
00:12:44.216 --> 00:12:49.280
Yes, however, all amino acids start with plants.
00:12:49.280 --> 00:12:55.413
Now we have essential amino acids that we must get in our diet because we do not make them ourselves, animals included.
00:12:55.413 --> 00:13:02.456
Now there are certain amino acids that we can configure from those essential amino acids, but we're not really making them brand new.
00:13:02.456 --> 00:13:07.616
We're just adding little extra side arms to those pop blocks to make them something new.
00:13:07.929 --> 00:13:10.759
So we're assembling what we've gotten from the foods.
00:13:11.049 --> 00:13:23.879
We're assembling what we get from foods and we're kind of restructuring amino acids, but we do not take nitrogen, carbon oxygen, sulfur from the environment and make amino acids completely brand new.
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:29.219
Right, when I learned that I just it's like that little mind blown emoji.
00:13:29.490 --> 00:13:31.414
So all of them come from where?
00:13:32.297 --> 00:13:33.441
Plants, plants.
00:13:33.441 --> 00:13:44.278
If you look at fish, if you look at chicken, cow, cows, any of those animal products, it all, at one point or another, originated from a plant.
00:13:44.317 --> 00:13:45.520
Now, a lot of fish had to eat a plant.
00:13:46.029 --> 00:13:52.441
It would have been algae and things like that, kelp and whatnot, but it all started from plants and photosynthesis.
00:13:52.649 --> 00:13:55.539
So, sister, go to the direct source.
00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:57.254
Cut out the middleman.
00:13:57.254 --> 00:14:02.480
