On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared looks at one of the biggest mistakes in the modern diet: eating plenty of protein without eating a truly balanced variety of animal foods. Muscle meat—things like chicken breast, steak, ground beef, pork chops, and other lean cuts—has become the default, while slow-cooked cuts, connective tissue, broth, skin, and organs have largely disappeared. Jared also talks about the critical balance between glycine and methionine and asks whether some of the “experts” may be getting the longevity conversation wrong. Instead of fearing methionine or simply eating less protein, the better answer may be restoring the balance traditional diets naturally provided. You’ll learn why dietary variety matters, what may be missing from a modern high-protein diet, and simple ways to bring that balance back.
