At age 96, Dr. Fred Bisci shares powerful insights on protein obsession, aging, muscle loss, raw food diets, fasting, and longevity — all grounded in common sense nutrition rather than rigid dogma.

In this interview, Dr. Bisci explains why numbers and blood tests don’t tell the whole story, how protein absorption changes with age, and why body weight, sleep, and simplicity matter more than chasing macros. We also discuss raw food protein sources, supplements like B12, omega-3s, and vitamin D, and why modern bodybuilding culture often misses the bigger picture.

If you’re confused by conflicting nutrition advice, obsessed with protein numbers, or wondering how to age well on a raw vegan or plant-based diet, this conversation will bring clarity.

 Topics include:
• Protein myths and muscle loss
• Raw food diets and longevity
• Fasting and natural healing
• Supplements vs whole foods
• Simple eating for long-term health

 Watch until the end for Dr. Bisci’s final advice on keeping nutrition simple.

For the last 20 years, we’ve been given reason after reason to avoid beans and whole grains: They’re not ancestral; they have anti-nutrients like phytates; lectins are the cause of our health issues; gluten causes leaky gut. The result? We’ve been avoiding them. The average American eats just two ounces of beans per week while consuming nine times that amount in added sugar. And while 95% of Americans are deficient in fiber, 98% of Americans are deficient in whole grains. Is our avoidance justified? Or are we being fed misinformation that’s actually harming us in our food choices? My vote is for the latter. Here’s why.
