Plant-Based Meats: Are They Really The Healthier Option? | Digging In with Dr. Kellyann

Is ditching animal products and eating plant-based meats the answer to better health? In this week's episode, I dig into all things meat alternatives! Plant-based meats have been gaining popularity over the past few years as people look for different ways to eat fewer animal products and have a healthier lifestyle, but plant-based doesn't always mean healthier. Many plant-based meats contain high levels of soy, pea protein, GMOs, and other additives that can be harmful to your gut, increase inflammation, and cause more harm than good when it comes to your body's overall wellbeing. Watch and learn as I break down the ingredients to watch out for and walk you through the macronutrient profile of each meat alternative. Are plant-based meats really a better option? Tune in to find out if I dig it or ditch it!
