Protein is super hyped in the fitness industry for a good reason, and everyone needs a lot more than we think. In this episode, we go over what protein is, and why it’s so crucial to eat enough of it. We talk about what the Recommended Dietary Allowances states is the minimum protein requirement. Then, we go over what is actually optimal if you want to be healthy, age well, have a healthy body composition, maintain muscle mass as you age, be injury free, and not lose autonomy as you get older. We also talk about why not eating enough protein can hinder your gym results. 

Eating a protein-centric diet is the best kind of diet you can eat. We discuss why ethically raised meat is the best source of protein, and how plant based diets are challenging for getting enough protein. We get into the science of why protein will change your body composition, promote fat loss, and help you eat less. Then we share some meal tips for optimizing your protein intake.
