Description

Is too much protein bad for your kidneys? Will your body “waste” anything over 30 grams in a meal? In this week's episode we’re busting the most common myths around protein intake—especially the fear of overdoing it. The truth is, most women aren’t eating enough protein, and it could be the missing link in your fat loss, energy, and hormone health.

 In This Episode:

  • Why the “protein hurts your kidneys” myth isn’t backed by science (unless you have kidney disease)
  • The truth about how much protein your body can use in one sitting
  • The powerful non-muscle benefits of eating more protein: blood sugar, satiety, metabolism, and more
  • Why most women are under-eating protein—and how that’s harming fat loss and health
  • A reality check on carb and fat overconsumption vs. protein intake
  • What it would actually take to eat a dangerous amount of protein (hint: it’s a LOT)
