Dan Gubler on the Power of Phytonutrients

If you listen to this podcast, you probably have some idea what macronutrients are, as well as micronutrients, like vitamin C or B12.

What you may not know is plant foods contain even smaller organic compounds called phytonutrients.

What are phytonutrients and why do they matter? Can you still thrive without eating them? What are the benefits of including more of them in your diet and which ones should you focus on?

In this podcast interview, Dr. Dan Gubler answers those questions and a lot more. He gives a primer on phytonutrients, explains why you should care about them, and gives practical tips for incorporating more of the most important ones into your diet.

If you’re not familiar with Dan, he’s a phytonutrient chemist and researcher whose work has been recognized with the DSA Visionary Award, the Schering-Plough Science and Innovation Award, the American Cancer Society Fellowship, the Eli Lilly Fellowship, and the Best Educator Award from Brigham Young University–Hawaii. He’s also the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Brilliant, a supplement company that focuses on formulating products with bioactive plant compounds that can proactively help human health.

In this interview, we discuss . . .

What phytonutrients are and how they benefit our health
Supplementation of phytonutrients versus getting them from food
The relevance of phytonutrients to carnivore diet followers and plant-avoiders
His favorite phytonutrient-rich foods
The importance of standardization in supplements
And more . . .

So, if you want to learn what the research says about phytonutrients and what role these plant molecules play in our health, listen to this podcast!
