In this episode of the WHOOP podcast, Kristen Holmes chats with Simon Hill, a physiotherapist, nutritionist, and author of "The Proof is in the Plants," about the advantages of plant-based diets. Hill emphasizes that there’s no universal diet that works for everyone, but he highlights that diets low in saturated fat and rich in fiber, unsaturated fats, and plant protein tend to promote better health. Their discussion dives into the scientific research supporting these ideas, debunks common myths about legumes, and examines the importance of protein in plant-based eating. They also consider the environmental and ethical implications of our food choices. Additionally, WHOOP data reveals that members who follow plant-based diets enjoy lower resting heart rates and better sleep quality compared to those who don’t.
