15: Dr. Anthony Gustin: The Shocking Truth Behind Pasture-Raised Chicken and Pork

The Primal Shift

Contrary to popular belief, pasture-raised poultry and pork may not be inherently healthier than conventionally raised options, despite the common belief that their natural diets and lifestyles lead to more nutritious meat.

In today’s episode, Dr. Anthony Gustin and I dive into the misconceptions surrounding poultry and pork, debating the merits of pasture-raised versus conventionally-raised meat. We also explore the contrasting fatty acid compositions in monogastric and ruminant animals, decode misleading meat marketing terms, discuss the evolutionary shifts in chicken size, and provide practical tips for making informed choices about the meat you eat.
