Optimize Paleo By Paleovalley

Approximately 1 out of 3 women of reproductive age in America are suffering from a nutrient deficiency that can lead to fatigue, immune dysfunction, rapid aging and an increased risk of disease.   And while we’re often told a plant-based diet is the best diet for health - Dr. Beal, the guest of this week’s podcast and a global nutrition researcher, found that animal foods (organ meats specifically) are actually the richest sources of nutrients that most people are deficient in.  His research also found that refined grains, which most Americans consume copious amounts of, are the least nutrient dense.  Which is clearly one reason nutrient deficiencies are rampant even in developed countries.  Tune into this week’s podcast to learn: ✔︎ The nutrients many of us are deficient in ✔︎ The prevalence, consequences and causes of nutrient deficiency  ✔︎ The most nutrient-dense foods in the world  ✔︎ Why fortified nutrients are different than whole food versions ✔︎ The problems with most nutrient density rating systems
