In our latest Podcast, Andrew catches up with his great mate, Dr Marcus Hewitson. The pair first met whilst backpacking through South America over 20 years ago and have remained friends ever since. Marcus runs a nutritional medicine practice on the North Coast of NSW, Australia called OSNEM (Ocean Shores Nutritional & Environmental Medicine). He also educates medical doctors globally on the application of Functional and Nutritional Medicine into their clinical practice. In this, at times philosophical discussion, we explore the controversial macronutrient protein, and discuss -  Why adequate protein is critical for human physiology and health  The dietary protein guidelines – and why we should individualise dietary recommendations  The ‘protein leverage hypothesis’ – what makes locusts become cannibals!  The pros/cons and tradeoffs between higher and lower protein intake, with a discussion of the booming longevity industry  Why food is more than just a source nutrition and energy Join us for one of our most educating discussions on medicine and nutrition to date.
