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 eating
- My approach to discussing protein, focusing on aging with resilience and strength
- The basics of what protein is and its building blocks
- Different sources of complete proteins, both animal and plant-based
- Why we need more protein as we age, including an explanation of sarcopenia
- The vital roles protein plays in our overall health
- A comparison of plant-based and animal-based protein sources
- The quality and quantity of protein in different foods
This episode sets the foundation for understanding protein's role in our diets and health, especially as we age.
