In Episode #12 I review the real scoop on soy. Anytime anyone brings up the “S” word (ie Soy) there is the notoriously bad reputation that comes along with it like, “soy has phytoestrogens that causes feminization in men and breast cancer in women”. But this could not be further from the truth! That’s why I decided to dedicate an entirely separate episode in order to take a deeper dive into soy and reveal the real scoop on this superfood. In this episode I also discuss;
- Soy as a superfood and its nutrient content.
- Isoflavones of soy and what they really do.
- Soy health benefits on cholesterol and cardiovascular health.
- Soy and its role in muscle gains.
- Soy, phytoestrogens and the research on feminization in men.
- Best sources of soy in whole-food plant-based diet.
- Tofu, tempeh, miso, natto, soy crumbles and more!Resources:

In Episode #11 I continued my interview with MarceI van de Wouw, PhD and we discussed the gut-brain connection. We discussed how the complicated pathways from your gut to your brain, whether it's the vagus nerve, intestinal hormones, or otherwise, can influence your mental health, for better or worse.
In this conversation we also discussed:
- Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and they communicate to your brain
- Vagus nerve pathways from your gut to your brain- The microbiota-gut-brain connection and how stress can negatively impact your microbiome (and vice versa!)
- Strategies to improve your gut microbiota with fermented foods and other plant foods
- What water kefir is, how to make it, and how it can positively impact your mental well-beingResources:
- University of Calgary Psychobiology Developmental Lab: https://cumming.ucalgary.ca/labs/developmental-psychobiology/people/current-team
- Research on the Gut-Brain Connection: A review on the topic: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27259147/ and a very cool data paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32521538/
- Marcel's original research on Mental Health and Gut Microbiota: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34654024/- Kefir grains have some really cool properties from a microbiology perspective, where the kefir grain itself is essentially this community of bacteria and yeasts that work together very closely. This teamwork between microorganisms is one of the things that makes kefir unique when it comes to fermented foods: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33398099/
- Much research is still needed on fermented foods, such as kefir. Some things that we do know. 1) Not all kefir (grains) are the same, even to the extent that some may have beneficial properties that others don't have (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32423436/). 2) Generally, the effects of kefir in human research indicate beneficial effects for human health: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31487797/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27199969/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27199969/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34822204/
- Finally, making your own water kefir is quite easy and cheap. More importantly, many "kefirs" that you find in a store are often made with a generic probiotic bacterial strain, and are therefore very different from "home-made" kefirs. To some extent, this is because a "traditional kefir grain" consists of these various bacteria and yeasts that closely work together (as mentioned 2 points ago). Please note that it does not mean that store-bought kefir-products don't have beneficial effects, it's just different. Plus many store-bought kefir products are milk-based, while you can make water kefir at home.Want to support the show?

In Episode #10 I review the top 7 myths (8 if I counted all of them properly!) of the plant protein problem, and discuss what to do about it. The number 1 question most vegans and vegetarians get is, “where do you get your protein from?”. The top plant protein myths that I discuss include:
- You need meat.
- Plants are a poor source of complete proteins and essential amino acids.
- It’s TOO difficult to get ENOUGH protein without eating meat.
- You need to eat a lot of FAKE MEAT to get enough protein.
- Going meatless will cause ANEMIA from iron deficiency.
- It’s hard to build muscle and retain it while on a plant based diet.
- Plant protein is going to cause LOW ENERGY and negatively impact your endurance exercises.
- Plant “anti-nutrients” and soy protein creates inflammation and interferes with the benefits of protein.
