Protein—it’s the topic everyone’s obsessed with. But are you really getting enough, or are you falling into the trap of thinking more is always better? In this episode, I’m cutting through the noise and tackling one of the most talked-about and misunderstood areas of nutrition. We’ve been bombarded with messages that more protein equals better health, but is that actually true? Should you be worried about hitting a specific number each day, or are you already getting what you need without even trying? If you’ve ever wondered why everyone’s so fixated on protein or if you’re constantly questioning if you’re eating enough, this conversation is for you. I'll explore why so many people think they're lacking protein, the common myths that have shaped our beliefs, and the surprising truth about how much protein your body really needs based on your lifestyle. We’ll also dig into the risks of overdoing it and how the obsession with protein might actually be doing more harm than good. If you’re ready to stop stressing over protein, get real answers, and take a more balanced approach to your health, you won’t want to miss this episode. Tune in, and let’s set the record straight!
