In this episode of The 'Sader Digest, Brad and Alex get into the juicy details of protein (the Third and Final Macro)—breaking down what it is, why it’s important, and how to find the right balance in your diet. From the environmental impact of meat (yes, we’re talking about cow farts) to how protein can boost your health, they cover it all. Brad shares his gardening triumphs (and zucchini overloads) and reveals how he sneaks in more plant-based ingredients to create tasty, sustainable meals. The duo dives into the benefits of shifting the focus away from meat, highlighting how plant-forward eating can reduce inflammation, lower your risk of chronic diseases, and even improve your longevity.

They also chat about combining different plant proteins (hello, rice and beans!) to make sure you're getting all the essential amino acids without relying solely on animal products. But don’t worry, they’re not here to make you feel guilty about your love for a good steak! Instead, they encourage moderation, variety, and finding the right balance in your meals. So whether you’re a die-hard carnivore or a dedicated plant-eater, this episode will give you fresh ideas and practical tips on optimizing your protein game for better health, sustainability, and delicious meals. Tune in and get ready to rethink how you fuel your body—without sacrificing flavor!
