E287: The Protein Conversation We’re Not Having (And Why It Matters for Fat Loss, Energy, and Hormones)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week’s episode dives into the often oversimplified advice to “eat more protein” and unpacks what actually matters for results like fat loss, energy, and hormone balance. I explain why total protein intake is only part of the story, and we explore common mistakes (like backloading protein at dinner or relying on high-fat protein sources) that may be holding you back.
Plus, in Health News You Can Use, I share interesting results of a new study on vegetarian and vegan diets that sheds light on potential risks for bone health. Tune in to learn how to make protein work smarter for your body and your goals.
