EP 193: How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How much protein does a man actually need at 30, at 50, at 70? And what happens when a driven, data-obsessed man turns every meal into a math problem? In this episode, David Orozco, MS, RDN, uses the Alimentar persona Mark, a 49-year-old VP and chronic optimizer, to walk through evidence-based protein recommendations by life stage, the red meat and colon cancer connection, leaner and plant-based alternatives, and the deeper question: when does nutritional control become its own kind of harm? Rooted in the One Small Bite approach and the practice of Compassion from the 5 Cs, this episode makes the case that the most powerful thing a man can do isn’t optimize his protein...well you'll just have to listen to the episode.
