Thanks! Just want to add that post-menopausal women need less iron - probably closer to what you recommend for men.

[@azurecerulean]

1) Iron 2) Selenium 3) Zinc

love the message, cooking a variety of foods using all these ingredients is not only so much healthier but literally absolutely delicious, and when you eat these deliciously prepared healthy foods then you will not even care for any faux meats or processed veg products. more people need to promote this message in a positive and easy to understand way like you are

[@theplantbasedteacher]

Thank you so much!

I started doing plant based in September! Your tips are very helpful! I eat alot of of nuts! In my oatmeal! Smoothie! Thank you for these !

Enjoyed the video. I would have to add iodine also. I just recently found out I have an enlarged thyroid and it could be due to iodine deficiency, (still being investigated-but not cancerous tho). Plant-based sources of iodine are very limited. As an aside a person can absorb iron better if consumed with sources of vitamin C. Thank you.

[@theplantbasedteacher]

Thanks for sharing, and I wish you the best of luck with your health journey. Honestly using iodized salt is the easiest way to boost that intake!

[@lisastephenson9576]

Thanks Peter! I've been focusing on getting in the protein, so tracking macros daily - I'm glad these other nutrients are built into what I'm eating 🙂

[@theplantbasedteacher]

That's great to hear!

[@kellywitty9553]

Great tips and reminder of the micronutrients!!!

[@nazeeniranfar2616]

Thank you very much for sharing this information and all the tips 🙏🏻

[@theplantbasedteacher]

So glad you found it helpful!

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. Question- do we need to add copper rich food to balance zinc?

[@theplantbasedteacher]

Sure thing, and thanks for the question!
If we're going the food route for a healthy balance, sually we get more copper on a day-to-day basis than zinc, so if you are zinc deficient and are focusing on these food sources then, unless there's a preexisting health condition, it should provide more of a balance as opposed to an excess or deficiency! If you choose to supplement in higher doses, balancing them out in that case would definitely be recommended.
Hope this helps!

Have you done a video in creatine yet?

[@theplantbasedteacher]

I haven't! But I'd definitely consider it. I do take creatine just about every day in my protein shake!

[@KyleKranz]

@@theplantbasedteacher same here. It has SO MANY potential benefits but gets overlooked too often IMO. Huberman even mentions it in his video on focus.

[@theplantbasedteacher]

@@KyleKranz For sure! Especially cognitive benefits. Definitely something most people should look into each day!
