Why are we so confused about protein?
How much, when, where, the types of protein are questions that leave us baffled. This episode strips down the jargon of nutrition to its bare bones, offering a way out of diet myths.
As we age, our bodies don't just change; they converse with us, demanding different nutrients—proteins being paramount among them. During midlife, we focus on the critical role of high-quality proteins to prevent muscle loss, maintain bone density, and keep our hearts beating with vitality. I'll walk you through the maze of calculating your personal protein needs and draw the map that distinguishes between animal and plant proteins, ensuring you're equipped with the knowledge to make choices that resonate with your health goals.
It's not just about what's on your plate; it's about diversity and timing. I reveal how to transform meals into a symphony of nutrients and include a blog post with guides for calculating portions, the amount of protein in certain foods, and a sample meal plan to figure out how to fit it all into your day.
Tune in and transform the way you think about nutrition, one protein-rich bite at a time.
