Episode 3036:

Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the science behind food combining and how strategic pairings like protein with carbs or iron with vitamin C can boost digestion, nutrient absorption, and blood sugar control. He also debunks common myths around vegetarian protein and reveals how to get the most out of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits.

Quotes to ponder:

"Combining certain foods may change how they are absorbed by the body."

"When we eat a combination of plant-based foods, we still get all the protein the body needs."

"Consuming turmeric with black pepper dramatically increases its rate of absorption."
