Micronutrients Deserve More Attention (Episode 119)

Описание: Micronutrients deserve more attention. There's very little content about micronutrients, and the content that is out there is often full of fear-mongering or wild claims about wonder drugs and superfoods.

In this episode, we aim to provide a solid foundation for building a better understanding of micronutrients. Along the way, Greg also shares some fun facts that prove that micronutrients are way more interesting than you may have thought. (This is the first part of a micronutrient series we'll be doing on the podcast.)

At the end of the episode, Greg also answers a listener's question about the best way to train for bone health.
