Have a question? Click here. Fourteen (yes, 1️⃣4️⃣) months ago, I saw on a Zoom call with our Graced Health + community and said I wanted to do an episode on protein.It took me this long to fully research the complexities of this hot topic but also how to present it in a way that isn't diet-culturey or present a hard and fast guideline.The problem is one episode turned into four. 🙊But also, sorry not sorry. This is a complicated topic and I didn't feel it was responsible to put numbers and guidance out there without the science and research behind it.Today I dive into this four-part miniseries and cover:The importance of protein as we age and how it relates to intuitive eatingMy approach to discussing protein, focusing on aging with resilience and strengthThe basics of what protein is and its building blocksDifferent sources of complete proteins, both animal and plant-basedWhy we need more protein as we age, including an explanation of sarcopeniaThe vital roles protein plays in our overall healthA comparison of plant-based and animal-based protein sourcesThe quality and quantity of protein in different foodsThis episode sets the foundation for understanding protein's role in our diets and health, especially as we age.You can get your Protein Prep download here (if you get email updates on Tuesdays about these episodes, check your email - it's there.)Want to check out my primary sources?​Dr. Stacy Sims​​Molly Galbraith - Girls Gone Strong​​NASM Certified Nutrition Coaching Program​Got a protein question?Hit the link at the top of your podcast player episode description/show notes (or just hit reply!).
